The Department of Statistics welcomed its newest graduate students at the annual Ice Cream Social on August 23, 2025, hosted by department chair Dan Nettleton and his wife Karen at their home. The gathering provided incoming students and their families with a warm introduction to the department community before the start of the fall semester.
New graduate students enjoyed Karen Nettleton's homemade ice cream and cookies and had fun playing yard games. The relaxed, outdoor setting encouraged conversation and connection with their graduate cohort. The event has become a cherished department tradition, offering a welcoming atmosphere where students can ease into their new academic home.
