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!

SGSA is back!

Hello statistics graduate students, the SGSA has resumed usual activities with a brand new executive committee. Please welcome Angeline, Issac, Jessica, Son and Hasmik!
