NEC4 Nursing Grant I am currently the statistical consultant for a $370,000 grant that is studying how to identify and intervene with at-risk Nursing students in East Texas. There is a huge shortage of nurses in many parts of the country and this study is looking to improve retention in some of Texas' top degree granting nursing programs...one of which is right here at SFA. Nine nursing programs in Texas have bonded together to form the Region 4 Nursing Education Consortium (NEC4)...I am in charge of analyzing all the survey data collected at each of these sites during the two year life of the grant. |
Coming Back to Teach! I have been out of the classroom for all of 2008. During the Spring 2008 semester I was on research leave working on updating a survey article on the state of the literature in "Statistical Inference for Queues" .The research continues in to the fall, but it will be good to get back in front of students on a daily basis. I have been at my desk so little this year that I have to get reacquainted with the layout of my office?!?! It will be good to be back "around the department". I enjoyed the break from teaching - it was refreshing, but I am looking forward to working with a new crop of Lumberjacks in the Fall. |

New Course Coming in Spring 2009...MTH 420 Statistical Inference As part of our curriculum review, I will be developing and teaching a new course in the Spring semester of 2009. A calculus-based statistical inference course to follow-up MTH 419 is in the works. This will soon be a required course for all mathematics majors at SFA. The course will focus on proper decision making when analyzing real data. I am excited to be a part of enhanced statistics courses for our majors. I expect the course to be a student-favorite within a few years. |
SFA Volleyball Returns in the Fall!! In addition to my academic duties, I am the public address announcer at Johnson Coliseum for the reigning (four straight time) Southland Conference champion SFA Volleyball team. Students...do you realize we are 112-21 in Volleyball over the past four years??? This is the most underrated ticket in town for SURE.. you NEED to make sure that you support one the best athletic programs we have here at SFA. This year we will play teams from the PAC 10, Big 12, Sun Belt, WAC, Atlantic 10 and Conference USA...few programs from a school our size can boast such an ambitious schedule? Get to the games...its intense and great fun! |

Statistical Consulting Center Looking to Expand During the next year, a proposal to expand the Statistical Consulting Center into a year-round operation will be put forth. Currently, the Center is only funded during summers. We hope to be able to offer statistical consulting year-round in the near future. Soon, we hope to have a separate office-front as well. Thanks to all the clients on campus that have supported our endeavors. |
