The INFORMS Student Chapter at Northeastern University is a venue for learning, a catalyst for professional advancement, and an opportunity for camaraderie. Within the Chapter, student members from business, engineering, and science programs join with faculty to organize seminars and discussion groups about new methods and applications of Operations Research/Management Science. The Chapter also enables students to go beyond the bounds of course work and institution as they engage in research activities that lay the groundwork for their future as OR/MS professionals. Of course, occasional social outings enjoyably round out The INFORMS Student Chapter’s calendar.
