SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:June 2 - July 30\, 2026 T/TH  Course - Sampling in Practice
DESCRIPTION:June 2-July 30\, 2026\, T/TH\n1:00pm - 3:00pm\nA live course via Zoom. Registration and payment are required a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the course.\n\nFounded in 1948\, the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques is designed specifically to meet the needs of professionals and graduate students seeking to deepen their expertise in survey methodology and data collection. Offered through the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan\, the program provides a rigorous and flexible curriculum that blends theoretical foundations with practical application — entirely online.\n\nSampling in Practice\n\nUnlocking the art and science of sampling with an applied\, hands-on approach\, the course Sampling in Practice is designed for applied practitioners who want to master real-world sampling techniques through active learning and practical programming. Students will learn about probability sampling methods\, including simple random sampling\, stratification\, systematic selection\, cluster sampling\, probability proportional to size sampling\, and multistage sampling. We will also cover sampling cost models\, sampling error estimation techniques\, non-sampling errors\, missing data\, and nonprobability samples. The course emphasizes practical implementation\, featuring interactive coding exercises and in-class examples to reinforce each concept. A culminating project will give students the opportunity to integrate multiple techniques into a comprehensive sample design and demonstrate the profession in designing surveys\, selecting subjects\, analyzing sample data\, and solving real sampling problems using modern statistical tools.\n\nWhy take this course? \n\nThe course is crafted for students and practitioners eager: \n\nTo build proficiency in modern sampling techniques through active engagement and practical coding experience\nTo understand the basic ideas\, concepts and principles of probability sampling from an applied perspective\nTo be able to identify and appropriately apply sampling techniques to survey design problems\nTo understand and be able to assess the impact of the sample design on survey estimates\nTo be able to compute the sample size for a variety of sample designs\nTo learn how to design and select a probability sample involving complex sampling techniques in a survey project\, and receive expert feedback on a sampling report. \n\nYajuan Si is a Research Associate Professor in the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science\, located within in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. She holds a Ph.D. in statistical science from Duke and received postdoctoral training at Columbia. Yajuan’s research focuses on methodology development\, from data analysis to study design\, in streams of Bayesian statistics\, linking design- and model-based approaches for survey inference\, data integration\, missing data analysis\, confidentiality protection\, and causal inference\, with applications in the social and health sciences.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cover Letters & Resumes for Jobs and Internships (for Graduate Students)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is open to all graduate students seeking guidance on cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles. It also meets the needs of those applying for internships\, including those applying to the Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program. The process of synthesizing your academic experiences into strong application materials for jobs and internships beyond academia can be challenging but rewarding. This workshop is a hands-on opportunity for graduate students to learn how to effectively develop a resume using the foundation that they have laid with information from their CVs. Additionally\, this session will include tips for writing compelling\, tailored cover letters and thinking strategically about how these two documents complement each other.\n\nThis workshop is designed for master's students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff\, please contact rackhamdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.\n\nBrought to you by the University Career Center\, in partnership with Rackham Graduate School.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Webinar: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Habitat Mapping
DESCRIPTION:The St. Louis River estuary runs along the boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin in the Duluth-Superior metro area at the headwaters to Lake Superior. Since its designation as a Great Lakes Area of Concern (AOC) in 1987\, local land stewards have dedicated decades of remediation and restoration efforts toward improving water quality\, removing legacy contaminants\, and restoring fish and wildlife habitat. As the estuary approaches AOC delisting\, a group of natural resource professionals is collaborating to develop a St. Louis River Habitat Plan to identify strategies for mitigating environmental stressors and prioritize opportunities for habitat restoration.\n\nIn response to a need to support the identification and prioritization of areas for future restoration and conservation\, a 2023 science transfer project adapted a habitat mapping process developed by the Lake Superior Reserve to a much larger area encompassing 57\,000 acres of wetlands and adjacent uplands spanning the lower twenty-one miles of the St. Louis River. Products included a final habitat map as well as an open source workflow that could be repeated in other geographic locations or used to update existing maps and observe change over time. In this webinar\, the team will discuss the multi-phase approach they took to develop the habitat map\, how it is being used\, as well as lessons learned.
