The conference was wonderful and a highlight was watching our students from the UMass Amherst INFORMS Student Chapter, which is based at the Isenberg School, being recognized for their hard work with the cum laude award from INFORMS for their chapter activities. This year, the chapter received its 9th award in a row, which I suspect must be a record. The chapter's members are graduate students from the Isenberg School of Management and the College of Engineering, principally, from the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.
Below are featured photos taken at the award ceremony, which took place this past Monday evening, November 10, at our conference in San Francisco. What an amazing turnout - even some students who had received their PhDs a year or two ago came to support the new cohort and to celebrate with them. Plus. one of our MBA students, Ben Joyney, also came.
As the Faculty Advisor to the UMass Amherst INFORMS Student Chapter for over a decade now, I congratulate this great group! The friendships continue even after they graduate and leave UMass!
