HDR Update

 

It is after ANZAC day so it is acceptable now to have your heating on. The mornings will get colder as we move towards winter so good heating and socks are essential Canberra accessories.

I am pleased to let you know that the Statistical Support Network, led by A/Prof Alice Richardson, have launched the SSN Web Portal. Here you can access a wide range of resources to help you get started or to solve tricky statistical problems, find out about courses or drop-in-sessions.  You can access the portal here. You will need to select the request access button.

We recently had our first meeting of the HDR Student Consultative Committee. It was a great meeting with a range of issues being raised, from SASH to travel, by your college representatives. Your SCC College representatives and PARSA are a great support for you to raise issues you would like the university to discuss. Our next meeting will be in August.
