The honor, which is awarded in multiple disciplines on campus, recognizes excellence based on high performance in categories such as motivation, collaboration and innovation. The campus chapter was lauded for its cutting-edge, interdisciplinary, cross-collegiate speaker series that showcased talks by prominent leaders from MIT, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, McGill, IBM, ISO New England, and many other leading organizations.
The speaker series, hosted at the Isenberg School, facilitated cross-pollination and encouraged students from a wide-range of backgrounds and interests to discuss and consider solutions to issues faced in Operations Research, the Management Sciences, and more generally by society as a whole.
Management Science Ph.D. candidate Min Yu and the chapter's faculty advisor, Anna Nagurney, will accept this year's award on behalf of the student group.
"The students in our chapter understand what can be accomplished through hard work, dedication, mutual support and teamwork," said Nagurney. "This award is a fulfilling testament to their accomplishments as a team. The memories and friendships that they have developed through these efforts will last throughout their careers."
The chapter gives its Isenberg members unique opportunities to share research, social, and professional networking opportunities with their fellow members in engineering, computer science, economics, and other disciplines.
"Its internationally diverse students--hailing from Turkey, China, India, Iran, the United States, and other countries--enrich the cultural landscape for all Isenberg students," said Nagurney
