We hope to engage our members in useful and rewarding practices to learn statistics and its applications. As the president, I provide overall leadership and direction to the club organization; establish short- and long- range objectives and goals in conjunction with the board of directors; and coordinates club activities through the board of directors; and structure the organization to ensure continuity by providing opportunities for new leadership to develop.

  As a vice president of the club, I am working with four departments including Finance, Academic, Fundraising, Social Platform. We aim to make CSC a better place for students to enjoy the journey with statistics.
  As the secretary of the club, our jobs would be collaborating with all departments of the club to organize events, to make connections with school departments and helping with club affairs. Some examples would be: room-booking, taking meeting notes, participating in events, helping the social platform department to design newsletters, and informing the President of all our affairs.
  Secretary: Joe Zhuo (zz2688)
  Our goal is to connect with as many companies in the real world as we possibly can. My preferred method of communication is via email, as we should all get ready for formal professional communication. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to be involved.
  Director: Faris Mourad (fm2702)
  As Public Relation Department we conducted 2 different workshops: Public Speaking Workshop that had 3 sessions during the fall term and was targeted to Statistic Master students; and Intro to Statistics which had one session and targeted non-statistic related students that may be interest in introducing this method into their research. The work during was hard, but very enriching with great results and commentaries from the attendants.
  For this term our main goal is to keep conducting the 2 previous workshops, but also collaborating with other clubs and creating bonds with other programs beyond the Statistics Master. We hope to keep bringing good quality spaces that are useful and fun for a lot of graduate students within the Columbia Community.
