The roundtable entitled "Learning to Teach Statistics: Challenges and Suggestions" is for graduate students only and is being graciously sponsored by the Section. If you know any graduate students who will be attending JSM and would be interested in participating in this roundtable, please either let me know their names or have them contact me directly.

Keep these roundtables in mind when you register for JSM. And, if you've already registered, add a roundtable to your registration! If you have any questions, please contact me at miller.203@osu.edu.
