The Department of Computer Science and Statistics of the University of

Symposium on September 30 – October 2, 2021. As an annual event, the
symposium has been bringing together statisticians from all over New
England to a central location to share research, discuss emerging
issues in the field, and network with colleagues since it was first
started at UCONN in 1987.
The organizing committee has planned a
hybrid conference, with some remote sessions and some in person at the
URI campus in Providence. Please keep checking our website for updates
