Make plans to attend this year’s MORS Education and Professional Development (EPD) Colloquium to learn and contribute on a theme of vital importance. In addition to the quick-turn analysis student competition, speakers will address how Operations Research is being used and applied to address security issues within DoD and Homeland Security. This year’s event will also feature a session on conducting reimbursable student research projects for DoD and Homeland Security.
In 2010, the Colloquium attracted undergraduate and graduate students from twelve academic institutions, including not only the academies (USMA, UAFA, USNA, and USCGA), but The Citadel, Georgia Institute of Technology, NPS, AFIT, George Mason University, VMI, Virginia State University and the US Army Logistics University. This year’s event is designed to attract an even larger student population from non-military universities and colleges in the greater Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia area.
For over a decade, the Colloquium has provided an excellent opportunity for those from the academic, DoD and corporate worlds to meet and share current research significant to national defense. The academic attendees are always in search of current topics for student projects and the students continually impress the OR community with their knowledge and insights.
