2009 ICPSR Summer Program Success

The 2009 ICPSR Summer Program was a great success! Our first five-day workshop began on May 18. The two four-week sessions ran from June 22 through July 17, and from July 20 through August 14, respectively. The 2009 Summer Program’s instructional staff consisted of 93 faculty and 50 teaching assistants, who offered a total of 60 courses on a wide variety of methodological and substantive topics. In addition, the Hubert M. Blalock Lecture Series presented 14 sets of lectures on statistical topics, substantive issues, and professional development. The 2009 Summer Program had great attendance, with a total of 811 participants representing 286 different institutions, 26 academic disciplines, and 25 different nations.
