Leslie Kish/Frank Andrews Lecture Series

The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques will host a lecture series honoring the founders of the Summer Institute and survey research beginning summer, 2011.  The Leslie Kish/Frank Andrews Lecture Series has been established to provide an opportunity for our participants to hear about the kind of cutting edge research that is going on in the field to complement classroom studies and allow them to network with students in the Program and other Summer Institute participants.

During the months of June and July,  the lecture series will be an integral part of our ongoing effort to provide educational opportunities for Summer Institute participants.
