UIS Establishes Biostatistics and Epidemiology Society
The MPH program announces a new student organization affiliated with the American Statistical Association, connecting students with a nationwide network of statisticians, data scientists, and public health professionals.
- Access to ASA's nationwide professional network
- Job, internship and conference opportunities
- Campus workshops, seminars and career events
The UIS Biostatistics and Epidemiology Society is a newly established student organization within the MPH program at the University of Illinois Springfield. It holds official recognition as an American Statistical Association (ASA) student chapter, meaning it is formally affiliated with the oldest and most respected professional body in statistics and data science in the United States, founded in 1839.
The chapter fills a specific gap for MPH students whose academic focus intersects with quantitative methods, biostatistics, epidemiology, and data analytics, and who need structured pathways into the professional world beyond the classroom. A formal ASA affiliation gives access to institutional credibility and a national platform.
Full details on ASA student chapters and membership options are available on the ASA website.
