Spearheaded by the Education and Research Councilor, e-Rho is being managed and developed by the University of the Philippines School of Statistics Student Council (UP Stat SC).
The creation, operation and maintenance of e-Rho are motivated by three main objectives:
- To promote the value of philos sophia, love or deep interest in wisdom and knowledge through academic resources.
- To promote the value of learning as a habit
- To open the council's academic resources to a bigger public in a more accessible manner thus, promoting Statistics by inviting curiosity.
- To inspire the people through the spirit of academic goodwill and initiative.
Why e-Rho?
e-Rho started out from the idea of putting up a soft copy storage of UP Stat SC's academic resources. In addition, the UP Stat SC wanted to make these resources more accessible to the public for better use.
Originally named as HERO, the website was formally named e-Rho for two main reasons:
Originally named as HERO, the website was formally named e-Rho for two main reasons:
- It is read as e-Rho. Rho is a Greek letter whose correspondence to the English alphabet is the letter R. Thus, e-Rho abbreviates ER which means Education and Research.
- Rho is the conventional representation of correlation in Statistics. It can be seen as a degree of connection just like e-Rho which serves as the connection between students and academic resources. The UP Stat SC Volunteer Corps called the Correlate greatly contributed and continues to do so in the creation of this website. Their connection to the website is more than the name and their contribution but also the reminder that e-Rho is a cause for volunteerism, that when we recognize needs, we do our best to serve.
