Getting ready to declare? Got Statistical Science questions once you've started Stellic planning? Want to brainstorm about research opportunities, internship or job search, course planning?
Let's talk!
StatSci Departmental advisees, College Advisees and anyone else: Individual meetings can be requested via Calendly link below.
General StatSci program questions should always go via email to dus@stat.duke.edu. The DUS, ADUS and I all see them there and will get an answer to you or set up a meeting.
Individual Appointments: I am available for part of almost every day except Thursdays, most weeks. Sign up here for a 10-minute or longer sessions: calendly.com/joan-combs-durso. There are also options for 30- or 45-minute sessions and for phd students or post-docs who want to discuss mentoring. Meetings for planning a major in StatSci take 20-30 minutes.
Otherwise, for meetings outside of my Calendly times, please reach out via email to dus@stat.duke.edu to let me know possible times and how I can help. In your email, include your availability at several times and your questions/topic to discuss. I'll reply or send a calendar invite to confirm. If you want resume feedback, include the resume in your email and plan for a 30 minute session.
