Statistics Living-Learning Community (STAT-LLC)

The STAT-LLC gave rise to the concept of having an immersive living-learning community environment, in which students from many disciplines learn about the data sciences while pursuing very different majors and research experiences.

100 sophomore undergraduate students participated in this National Science Foundation sponsored effort during 2014-19. We honor and remember their pioneering efforts by listing these students and their research mentors here.

Because of the communal nature of the STAT-LLC, it is most natural to list the students in the groups of their 20 peers. The year listed is their sophomore year.
