If you want to attend a conference during the summer (whether it be CUMC, SSC, CMS or JSM) and you are member of SUMS, you can email SUMS with your proof of registration. We will create a support group for approximately 30 students. If you are attending a conference outside of Montreal, we require that you either participate in a poster session or give a talk to be eligible for support. Further support can be obtained via SUS if you are a Science student not graduating in May.
You need to supply in the email your name, program of study and level, along with the abstract for your presentation and the proof of registration.

Priority will be given for students for students giving talks. Other events include the SSC Annual meeting in Regina from May 26-29, the 2013 CMS Summer meeting in Halifax from June 4-7 and the Joint Statistical Meetings from August 3-8.
