U-PASS -- The EDMS Student Group

What is U-PASS?

United Psychometrics And Statistics Students (U-PASS) is a student organization dedicated to helping EDMS students satisfy their social, academic, and career preparation needs. We accomplish this primarily by facilitating the passing of experience from senior to junior students, by communication between faculty and students, and by research collaboration among students.
