What
is INFORMS?
"The Institute
for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) is the

Management Sciences (TIMS).
The society serves the scientific and professional needs of O.R. educators,

the organizations they serve, by such services as publishing 12
scholarly journals that describe the latest O.R.

Purpose
of INFORMS Student Chapters?
"An INFORMS
student chapter is a venue for learning, a catalyst for professional
advancement, and an opportunity for camaraderie. Within a chapter, student
members from business, engineering, and science programs can join with
faculty to organize seminars and discussion groups about new methods and
applications of OR/MS. 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 an INFORMS student chapter's
calendar."2
