The Center for Statistical Science
The Center for Statistical Science (CSS) was established in 1995 to foster statistical research and education at the Medical School and the University in general. Several new research centers were established through the Program in Academic Enrichment (PAE), a flagship initiative of former President Ruth Simmons who stepped down in 2012. This initiative provided growth of the Center and increased the size of the faculty by approximately 20%.
