Welcome from the Director Dr. Sheldon Ekland-Olson

Welcome to the Division of Statistics & Scientific Computation. The division is a new academic unit designed to provide campus-wide services for students, faculty, and staff and to serve as a gathering point for like-minded colleagues. Fauculty from colleges and research units across campus -- including Business, Communication, Education, Engineering, Graduate Studies, Liberal Arts, Natural Sciences, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Affairs, Social Work and the Texas Advanced Computing Center - have joined in this initative.

Please explore our website further to learn about the many services offered through the division. The division coordinates a suite of undergraduate and graduate courses designed to address the needs of students in different disciplines. We also provide free consulting services for UT students, faculty and staff, bring prominent faculty to campus as part of the Distinguished Lecture Series, and are proud to support the university's first Summer Statistics Institute in May 2008.

Our hope is that you find the division welcoming and our services useful. We invite you to explore the opportunities available through the division so that you too can take advantage of the strengths in statisitics and scientific computation on our campus. It is a worthy enterprise for both this institution and the world in which we live.
