The Institute congratulates Dr. Aric LaBarr on his new faculty position in Winston-Salem. Dr. LaBarr has been a mainstay instructor at the Institute since its earliest years, while completing his Ph.D. in Statistics, and therefore, he has played a role in the education of most of our 1,500 graduates. He is without question one of the country’s finest instructors in our field of study. We wish him the very best in his new endeavor.

Upon the recommendation of Chancellor Randy Woodson, the NC State University Board of Trustees has reauthorized the continuance of the Institute for Advanced Analytics after its periodic review of operations.
NC State University’s Board of Trustees approved the Institute’s proposal to relocate to Venture 3 Building on Centennial Campus in June 2025. Our current lease in Alliance Building will not be renewed due to the major tenant’s decision to lease the entire building. Venture 3 is located at 900 Main Campus Drive, directly across the street from Alliance.

The Institute for Advanced Analytics recently hosted a group of 40 undergraduate students from the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain for a weeklong immersion program. The students, all of whom are studying economics and data science, received instruction from Institute faculty and alumni on topics ranging from data visualization to Bayesian statistics. They learned professional networking strategies from the Institute’s career services team, and had the opportunity to put those skills into practice with current MSA students, alumni, and even NC State’s mascots — Mr. and Ms. Wuf! During the evenings, the students enjoyed bowling, ice skating, and exploring the Raleigh area.
