On Sunday, July 29, the Vanderbilt Department of Biostatistics hosted its first ever Vanderbilt Night mixer at the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) of 2018 held in Vancouver, British Columbia. This is one of the largest statistical events to take place in the entire world!
Amazingly, there were more than 6,500 attendees, visiting from 52 countries. More than a thousand of those attendees were students.
After a full day of meetings and courses, our Department faculty, staff, students, alumni and several special guests attending JSM, gathered together to eat, drink, and be merry.
By hosting the Vanderbilt Night mixer, we were able to shed more light on our biostatistics program at Vanderbilt to those in the medical research community, while giving all of our department members a chance to unwind and talk more on a personal level.
The event was so enjoyable that most stayed for the full two hours catching up and visiting like old friends do. The food was great, the city was awesome, and everything went off without a hitch!
Thanks to everyone who was able to join us for the Vanderbilt Night mixer and we'll look forward to hosting another mixer at JSM 2019!
