Our partners in CITL will once again offer statistical consulting in the Scholarly Commons this semester. If you have questions about doing statistical analysis in your research, the wonderful consultants available are able to help at any step of the process. Drop in hours are available during from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays.
