Donation requests to support the WNAR Expanding Opportunities Workshop: Due to current and unexpected federal funding cuts, WNAR is seeking donations to our newly developed Expanding Opportunities Workshop. The 2025 WNAR Expanding Opportunities Workshop (June 15-June 16) is a satellite workshop held in conjunction with WNAR, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and belonging in quantitative fields. The workshop will connect undergraduate students with professional (bio)statisticians and data scientists in academia, government, and industry. It is organized by the WNAR Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Committee and the WNAR Leadership Committee. A donation option is included in the WNAR 2025 registration form. Those who wish to donate separately to the workshop may use the donation box on https://wnar.org/Donate or email wnar@wnar.org. Thank you for your support!
