Welcome!
We are the Statistics Graduate Student Association (SGSA)
at UBC.
We created this website for new, current,
and prospective graduate students in the
Department of Statistics.
Here, you can find information about the various activities and events
that statistics graduate students organize—all in a single place!
We also aim to create a sense of community in the department
and to make it as easy as possible for everyone to get involved.
Enjoy!
