Abstract
StatFest 2024 is a one-day conference organized by the American Statistical Association's Committee on Minorities in Statistics. The conference aims to encourage undergraduate students of color, including Black and Indigenous students, to pursue graduate studies and careers in statistics and data science. The event will feature a keynote address, panel discussions, special sessions on finding graduate schools and research programs, and opportunities for networking and sharing research. Limited travel awards are available for eligible undergraduate students. StatFest is part of the ASA's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in the field of statistics.
