University of South Florida
What is INFORMS?
"The Institute for Operations Research and the
Management Sciences (INFORMS) is the largest professional society in the world

The Institute for Management Sciences (TIMS).
The society serves the scientific and professional needs of O.R. educators,
investigators, scientists, students, managers, and consultants, as well as the
organizations they serve, by such services as publishing 12 scholarly
journals that
describe the latest O.R. methods and applications and a membership magazine with

international
conferences for

interest groups....(to

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
