Yesterday, I posted about the 23 papers being presented by students at SAS Global Forum.
I am happy to report that 14 students presented yesterday, and all of them did a wonderful job!
In addition to presenting, the students have been meeting other users, which has been a great way to build their networks, as well as learning from attending papers and poster presentations. The users have been incredibly supportive of the student presenters, and several students have told me as a result of the questions and feedback they got, they already have ideas for papers for next year!
