Professor Shirley Pledger has recently been honoured by an appointment as an International Member of the National Centre for Statistical Ecology (NCSE) in the UK. Following that appointment, the NCSE and MSOR have signed an agreement to encourage the exchange of postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to facilitate further cooperation and collaboration in the area of statistical ecology.

The School has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Statistics New Zealand to strengthen and maintain a partnership. This will promote official statistics and provide summer internships for School statistics students.

Government Statistician Geoff Bascand signs the MOU with Head of School, Megan Clark.
