GSO - SOM Student Chapter of INFORMS

We are your Student Chapter for INFORMS, the leading international association for Operations Research & Analytics professionals with work that spans healthcare, transportation, applied mathematics, business, energy, supply chain, and beyond!

Our Chapter brings together students working on Operations Research & Analytics from across campus. This means creating a venue for collaboration, support, and friendship among the College of Engineering, College of Information and Computer Science, and the Isenberg School of Management. On campus, such schools are geographically apart, however they often have overlapping interests. UMass INFORMS is here to bridge the distance, creating seminars and events that are of interest to multiple colleges.

UMass INFORMS started in 2004 and has as Faculty Advisor Professor Anna Nagurney, Eugene M. Isenberg Chair in Integrative Studies. We are a Graduate Student Organization (GSO) that welcomes and very much encourages undergraduates to join. Together we build the future of Operations Research & Analytics!
