INFORMS - OU Student Chapter

INFORMS@OU is hosting a Welcome Back to School Happy Hour for ISE graduate students. This event is a great way to kick off the semester, connect with your fellow graduate students, welcome new students, and enjoy some fun together. We look forward to seeing you all there!

We are excited to share that the Academic Aspire Program, organized by the INFORMS OU Student Chapter, was a huge success this summer!

We had the honor of hosting participants from 45 different universities across the U.S. and abroad. It was a wonderful experience to bring together so many aspiring scholars and provide them with valuable insights and guidance on their academic journeys. A special thank you to our esteemed speakers: Dr. Sofía Pérez-Guzmán (Georgia Tech), Dr. Emily Tucker, PhD (Clemson University), Dr. Pankhuri Malhotra (University of Oklahoma), Dr. Ann Melissa Campbell (University of Iowa), Dr. Laura Albert (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Dr. Jun Zhuang (University at Buffalo). Your contributions made this program incredibly valuable for all who attended.

The OU Industrial and Systems Engineering and INFORMS OU Student Chapter are thrilled to have had the opportunity to host such dedicated and talented scholars. We look forward to more opportunities to support and connect with the academic community.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this program a success!
