Last evening, we had our second annual Operations & Information Management (OIM) Awards Celebration. Our Isenberg School of Management OIM Department, during this lovely evening ceremony and delicious buffet banquet at The Inn at Boltwood in Amherst, MA, recognized the outstanding award recipients.
Congratulations to ALL the amazing students receiving the awards last evening and to the recipient of the OIM Distinguished Alumni Award Brian Howell! The awards celebration was stunning - with excellent organization, thanks to the Department Chair Senay Solak, the Associate Department Chair Michele Burch, and our superb Office Manager Samantha Whittle. My colleague Dr. Oscar Lopez, took many photos of the event.
The students inspire us: the OIM Exceptional Impact Scholarship Recipients: Joseph Ganley, Jasmine Tran, Anna Wagner, and Elizabeth Elvin; the Isenberg Senior Leadership Award Recipient: Shane DeRubeis; the Isenberg Academic Excellence Award Recipient: Fiona Tanikonda plus Hunter Edwards and Emma Dengler, both nominated for the William F. Field Alumni Scholar Award. Congratulations also to: Sydney Edlund, who received The NCG Operations and Information Scholarship Award and to Gavin Acocelli, the recipient of The Nagurney Scholarship. Gavin is still in Florence, Italy on an exchange program but will be back for the University of Massachusetts Amherst graduation. Kudos to Patrick Little on receipt of the RSM U.S. Foundation Consulting Scholarship and to Macy Ring for her receipt of the David J. Czarnecki Scholarship. Congrats to the OIM Elevate Scholarship Recipients: Treyden Finlay, Carolin Z., Julia Sheridan, and Nicholas Blinn! Bravo to OIM Elevate Scholarship (PhD) Recipients: Mantek Bhatia and Dana Hassani, who is my PhD student in Operations Management.

Wishing our students all the best as they graduate and assume their professional careers!
