Why Participate

ASA Student Chapter Video Contest American Statistical Association (ASA) is running a contest for members of ASA student chapters to submit short videos explaining why they chose to study statistics, what they love about the discipline, and how it’s preparing them for a great career. The top five videos will be featured in ASA’s national education campaign ([ThisisStatistics.org](ThisisStatistics.org)) about the important role of statisticians in business, government and society, and the many interesting and exciting career opportunities available to graduates in statistical science.
