This Friday (and it looks as though the weather will cooperate) we will be featuring Mr. Marc Schneider from NYC in our new venture, "Meet the Executive." This event will take place at the Isenberg School and the students of the UMass Amherst INFORMS Student Chapter are hosting this event. I think that they did a great job designing the above poster. For 12 semesters this student chapter helped me to organize a truly amazing Speaker Series and now we have embarked on a new adventure! We hope to be bringing executives in to meet with students and interested faculty.The full announcement is below:
