Palmetto Lecture Series 

The Palmetto Lecturer Series is an annual research series begun by former department chair Don Edwards. 

Each spring, a renowned guest researcher visits the statistics department for a week. During their time at USC, our guest gives two research presentations (one technical and one more popular/accessible).
