We are proud to be an official Student Organization!


Welcome to the official website of the Santa Barbara Statistics Initiative (SBSI), founded in 2023 at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)!

Our primary goal is to function as an umbrella organization for several preexisting Statistics and Data Science programs in existence at UCSB, providing support wherever necessary. Currently, we collaborate with the following organizations:

PSTAT Grad Committee

The PSTAT Graduate Student Committee is the officially-recognized student association of graduate students in the Department of Statistics and Applied Probability (PSTAT) at UCSB.

Data Science Collaborative

The Data Science Collaborative (DS Collab) is an officially-registered RCO, designed to make Data Science accessible to students at all levels.

We also plan to host a variety of events directly through the SBSI, including panels, talks, and a fun yet-to-be-announced friendly competition in Spring Quarter!
