ABSTRACT:
We provide an update of the evolution of the Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS) and its Summer Research Conference (SRC) from 2005 through 2023. Their origin and evolution from 1966 through 2004 are described in an article by Taylor and Padgett (2006). The SRCOS was created to foster the advancement of statistics in the Southern Region of the United States via cooperation and collaboration between universities in the region. The primary and most visible activity of SRCOS is the SRC, which it created to fulfill a unique need for a small gathering of statisticians, biostatisticians and related scientists in the Southern Region. The goal of the SRC is to provide opportunities for young statisticians and biostatisticians (junior faculty and graduate students) to interact and engage with well-known senior researchers to enhance their research, networking, and career development.
