In order to enhance the learning experience and provide networking opportunities, the students invite industry experts, those professionals using SAS for data management and analysis in their organizations, to attend the symposium.  Specifically, the students look forward to your recommendations and positive commentary on how their work contributes to the body of knowledge on methodology and real-life application.
