The NISS Graduate Student Network is very excited to once again announce our 3^rd two-day Graduate Student Network Research Conference!! Last year's conference in 2022 was a resounding success with many fantastic presentations and selecting winners was quite a challenge! This year's conference will be a two-day event and take place on Saturday, May 20 and Sunday, May 21, 2023, from 12pm - 5 pm ET and will feature graduate student presentations, two short courses: a professional writing short course and a tutorial. A live Q&A networking hour will also be held on Saturday with invited early career statisticians chatting to students about helpful career advice. 

All graduate students are encouraged to submit their abstracts!
