Statistical Consulting Center

Mission

The Statistical Consulting Center (SCC) is operated by the Department of Statistics at GVSU.  Our mission is to enhance university research efforts by offering quality statistical advice to faculty and student projects, to provide interdisciplinary research    or instructional/collaboration opportunities for students and faculty from all departments and to develop collaborations with West Michigan businesses through consulting projects. Under the supervision of the centre director, the biostatistics graduate students and statistics undergraduate students (Collaborators)       get the opportunity to work with researchers across GVSU and its environs. Learning through engagement is fostered by giving  the students  opportunities to lead certain aspects of the projects.

. “Statistics…the most important science in the whole world: for upon it depends the practical application of every other science and of every art; the one science essential to all political and social administration, all education, all organization based upon experience, for it only gives the results of our experience.” Florence Nightingale (1820-1910)
