ICPSR is honoring the staff of the 2020 ICPSR Summer Program with the 2021 ICPSR Innovators of the Year Award for their successful move from in-person to online instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since 1963, ICPSR has offered the ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research on the University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus as a complement to its data services. The ICPSR Summer Program provides rigorous, hands-on training in statistical techniques, research methodologies, and data analysis.
With the closure of the University of Michigan campus on March 13, 2020, and the work-from-home orders of the Michigan governor, the Summer Program staff quickly realized that they would have to pivot from a completely in-person program to an all-virtual program before the short workshops began in May 2020. Staff worked tirelessly to reimagine how to give access to offsite instructors and students, virtually present Blalock lectures, navigate conflicting time zones, provide engaging classrooms, and organize networking and social events for more than 1000 Summer Program participants, instructors, and teaching assistants in the new world of Zoom meetings.
This amazing team (Michael Traugott, Stephanie Carpenter, Edward Czilli, Fillippo Stargell, Scott Campbell, Shelly Petrinko, Diane Viebahn, and Youngmin Kim) consisted of several staff members in new roles, and staff members new to working with the Summer Program and ICPSR itself. Through it all, they worked many long hours together and provided participants and instructors with an extremely rewarding 2020 ICPSR Summer Program experience.
