MSSP Announces Spring 2026 Stats@Work Seminar Series

The MSSP program is excited to announce the Spring 2026 lineup for our Stats@Work seminar series. Our mission is to provide our students with direct exposure to how statistics and data science are applied in practice across a diverse range of industries. By inviting expert practitioners to present on the data-centric challenges they face, we highlight exactly how statistical and data science training prepares our students to meet those challenges in the field.

Each presentation is followed by an informal “meet-and-greet” where students and speakers can connect and chat over refreshments. All members of our BU community are welcome to attend.
