survey statistics, education survey methodology, R statistical computing,
data visualization, and statistical use of administrative records. English
is the official language of instruction.

Room will be provided to instructors, but instructors will need to cover
meals and most of their travel cost unless supported by their affiliated
institutions. If interested, please contact Mr. Gary Shapiro (
g.shapiro4 at live.com), Past Chair of Statistics without Borders (2010-2012);
