Much More than Mere Math (MMMM) - Sponsored by the Rochester Chapter of ASA

A forum for High School (HS) teachers who are involved with AP Statistics or any form of HS statistics education. This forum would be established to create a dialog between practicing statisticians and the HS teachers to give the HS teachers more insight into the uses of statistics in the real world. Teaching techniques would be discussed and motivational exercises would be presented. The idea is to make statistics fun and much more than a mere "math" course.

Career Day for Statistics

The National Organization of ASA has set aside grant money to help finance career day activities sponsored by local chapters. The Rochester Chapter would sponsor such a day in mid spring for Senior and Junior High School students. The contacts made in the MMMM forum would help publicize this activity.

Statistical Consulting

We have invited Janice Derr, author of the book on statistical consulting to speak at a Rochester Chapter evening meeting. This is a great opportunity for local members who have found themselves cut off from their jobs at large companies or those who are still fortunate to be employed to sharpen their consulting skills.
