Marian Frazier

Marian Frazier

Associate Professor and Department Chair of Statistical & Data Sciences, Co-Director, Applied Methods & Research Experience (AMRE)

Biography

My research focuses around public health and evidence-based medicine, with an ongoing project evaluating the clinical and educational impact of Wooster’s unique Community Care Network program, which pairs patients with undergraduate “Health Coaches”.

I am Co-Director of Wooster’s Applied Methods & Research Experience, a summer consulting service where Wooster students are hired by a local business, industry, or agency. These students work in teams to develop solutions for the client, while gaining valuable industry experience and professional skills.

Additionally, I have an interest in statistics education research and curricular design, and earned a graduate minor in college teaching along with my Ph.D. I believe in including high-impact practices at all levels of the curriculum and I am dedicated to continuously exploring new ways to improve my students’ experience and learning.
