STUDENT CONTRIBUTIONS NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To help foster this community, we are issuing several calls for papers for our Spring Edition (Articles Section). These calls for papers are being requested to allow students to publish their research. We would also like to include a brief synopsis for each INFORMS student chapter as well as an area highlighting student achievements (scholarships, fellowships, jobs, and publications) in out FEATS section.

So, if you have something to contribute, please send it to either Michele.Pfund@asu.edu or Aditya.Rastogi@asu.edu. We would be happy to include it in our next edition.
