Former Penn State Professor of Statistics Dennis Lin moved to Purdue University in the spring of 2021 to fill the role of Department Head.
Unfortunate for everyone at the time, COVID prevented the department from recognizing Dennis and sending him off in proper fashion. So in early April 2022, only weeks after Penn State lifted its mask mandate, the department brought Dennis back for the long overdue send off!
Friends, colleagues, and a few former students gathered at The Graduate State College to honor Dennis with dinner and conversation while sharing stories of Dennis’ impact on students, the department, and famous sense of humor.
Better late than never, we all wish Dennis great success at Purdue! You are missed, Dennis!
