Efua reflects on her experience, saying, "Being part of the Diversity Mentoring Program (DMP) at JSM this summer was one of the highlights of my graduate journey so far. Walking into a space where I could see people from similar backgrounds excelling in so many areas of statistics was both inspiring and reassuring.
The conversations I had gave me clearer direction about the path I want to take moving forward after completing my master’s at OSU.
What made the experience even more meaningful was connecting with mentors and peers from both academia and industry, who shared advice and encouragement that I’ll carry with me moving forward"
