What we do

Five ways MSAR members grow

From weekly sessions to guest talks, every MSAR activity is built to turn classroom theory into skills members actually use.

Weekly Sessions

Weekly Sessions

Regular sessions where members learn, discuss, and practice together — every week, all year.

  • Held on a regular weekly schedule at UR–CST
  • A mix of theory review, group problem-solving, and open Q&A
  • Open to mathematics and statistics students at every year
Practical Training

Practical Training

Hands-on sessions with the tools the job market actually uses: Excel, Power BI, Python, R, and visualization.

  • Hands-on labs in Excel, Power BI, Python, and R
  • Focus on data cleaning, analysis, and visualization
  • Built around practical exercises, not just slides
Competitions & Challenges

Competitions & Challenges

Quizzes, hackathons, and problem-solving challenges that turn theory into teamwork.

  • Quizzes and problem-solving challenges through the semester
  • Team-based formats that build collaboration alongside skill
  • A chance to apply classroom theory under a bit of pressure
Guest Talks

Guest Talks

Students, alumni, and professionals share how math and statistics show up in real careers.

  • Sessions with students, alumni, and working professionals
  • Real conversations about career paths in data and statistics
  • Space for members to ask questions directly
Community & Mentorship

Community & Mentorship

Members across different years connect, share notes, and support each other through the semester.
