Call for posters
We invite submissions of all research posters from Stat and CAM students. There is no restriction on the topic; you are welcome to submit any research work done during your graduate program (Stat/CAM, PhD/MS) though we suggest submitting recent research. There will be awards with prizes for the best posters. 

Submit proposals
Please submit your poster proposal by February 1 through https://forms.office.com/r/mC60sNFiji (UChicago sign-in required). We will announce the selected proposals on February 2.
