SUMMARY:Florence Nightingale Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:\nFree In-Person Event | Limited Space | Registration Required\n\n\n\nRegistration is available on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 30 registrants.\n\n\n\nThis event is open to high school students in grades 10-12 in the Toronto area.

You can read more about Florence Nightingale and her work here.\n\n\n\nThe event celebrates the contributions to statistical sciences made by Nightingale and other women and promotes statistics, the science of data. Women and those from underrepresented groups in these fields are encouraged to participate. Students can discover career opportunities in statistics and data science, participate in fun data-related activities, and meet academic and industry mentors.  \n\n\n\nOrganizing Committee\n\n\n\n\nRohan Alexander, Assistant Professor, Department of Statistical Sciences and Faculty of Information, University of Toronto\n\n\n\nSebastian Jaimungal, Professor and Chair, Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Toronto\n\n\n\nEsther Berzunza, Program Manager, CANSSI Ontario\n\n\n\nSamantha-Jo Caetano, Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream, Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Toronto\n\n\n\nMegan Whitehead, Manager, Employer Relations & Career Development, Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Toronto\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
