The Executive Committee of the Department of Statistics have revealed the list of recipients for the Doctoral Student Teaching Award and the Doctoral Student Leadership and Service Award for 2019. Recipients of the awards will be recognized at the Robert Bohrer Memorial Student Workshop in Statistics in April 2020. This is the inaugural year for both of these awards designed to recognize and honor PhD students in Statistics who go above and beyond in areas such as research, teaching, service, and leadership.
The Doctoral Student Teaching Award is meant to honor Statistics Department doctoral students who have done exemplary work as graduate teaching assistants. The award considers all aspects of a student’s graduate TA record of the previous academic year including the summer semester, and will require at least one TA appointment for which ICES ratings are available. Evidence for the award will be taken from ICES scores and consultation with those who supervised the student’s TA appointments the previous year. The executive committee will select the awardees.
The Doctoral Student Leadership and Service Award is meant to honor Statistics Department doctoral students who through their effort, skill and generosity with their time have helped to create a better and more productive environment within the department throughout their time in the doctoral program. It will recognize the cumulative selfless contributions and diverse ways in which students create opportunities for others, assist in the development of their peers, and generally make a better and more stimulating workplace for Statistics students, faculty and staff.
