Seymour Geisser Distinguished Lectures

Established in memory of Seymour Geisser, Director of the School of Statistics for 30 years (1971-2001)

The Seymour Geisser Distinguished Lectures were established by the School of Statistics in memory of Seymour Geisser, Director of the School for 30 years (1971-2001). Each academic year we invite a leading statistician to give a seminar in honor of Seymour's contributions to the School, to Statistics, and to society. The lectures are supported by the Geisser Lectureship Fund.
