Two days of opportunities
for learning and growth.
Richard E. Rosenthal Student
Competition – A Quick Turn Analytical Problem Competition in which intercollegiate teams compete by analyzing complex National Security issues. The Richard Rosenthal Analytical Competition will assign a mix of students, from Operations Research (OR) and related studies, to approximately 5 teams. Those teams are expected to analyze real-world problems and report back on how they will approach solving the particular problem they are given. Students do not know what team they will be assigned beforehand, nor do they know the problem before they begin their work. They will have several hours during each of the 2 days of the Colloquium to formulate their "solution." The competition culminates with student presentations given the second morning, approximately 20 minutes in duration, and including questions and answers.
No powerpoint presentations will be given. The team of judges, comprised of several senior members of the OR community, will evaluate the teams on their approach to solving their problems and their abilities to think, analyze and present their collaborative work to other Colloquium participants. The winning team will receive an award."
Student Academic Work Poster Competition – Students prepare visual presentation of their project work and answer questions “on their feet”.
Speed Mentoring Sessions – Senior analysts and MORS Sponsors serve as mentors to young analysts and students in quick round-robin format.
MORS Programs presentations for students and young analysts. Academia-Industry-Government discussion of desired skills sets and academic outcomes.
Software Utilization across OR and OR-related curricula – discussion amongst academic advisors, professors.
