The Rensis Likert Survey Methodology Lab

MPSDS doctoral students run the Likert Survey Methodology Lab, a weekly forum open to all current and visiting students at MPSDS. Students learn, share ideas, and explore current research in survey and data science through faculty and student presentations, journal articles, book discussions, and conversations with visiting professionals. The lab is funded through the Likert Funds and the Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop program.

STATCOM

STATCOM (Statistics in the Community) at the University of Michigan is a community outreach program provided by graduate students in the Departments of Biostatistics, Statistics, and the Michigan Program for Survey and Data Science at University of Michigan. The program offers the expertise of statistics graduate students, free of charge, to non-profit governmental and community organizations in the areas of data organization, analysis, and interpretation. 

Rackham Student Government

Some MPSDS students get involved with Rackham’s Student Government (RSG). Executive and Legislative Board members engage with their constituents about needs, interests, and desires relevant to graduate students within four divisions (Biological and Health Sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering, Social and Behavioral Science, and Humanities and the Arts. This collaborative effort is an ongoing engagement that we hope can improve the quality of the experience for graduate students across U-M. Much of this work is done through members’ participation in the following committees: academic affairs, affordability and access solutions, budgetary, communications, legislative affairs, professional development, and student life.
