MIF Student Poster Presenters
One way to increase underrepresented minorities within the OR/MS profession is to highlight the up and coming professionals of tomorrow. Since 2004, MIF has sponsored the travel of underrepresented minority doctoral students close to finishing and showcased their research through a poster session given in conjunction with the MIF’s welcoming reception at the INFORMS Annual Meeting. The following links feature the current presenters for this year as well as past presenters.
