For over a decade the MORS Education and Professional Development (EPD) Colloquium has brought together students, academics and professionals from the OR community to meet, share and learn about current trends in OR education and professional development, as well as new research to emerge from OR programs at the academies, universities and colleges.
The Colloquium helps prepare the next generation of national security analysts for the challenges of the profession, an important responsibility which depends on the guidance of experienced analysts. Whether you are a student, faculty or seasoned OR professional, register to attend and participate in the continued growth of the profession.

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.
Student Academic Work Poster Competition – Students prepare visual presentation of their project work and answer questions “on their feet”. Come back soon for information about how to participate.
Student Presentation Opportunity – An opportunity for students to showcase and explain their research, build their presentation skills and scholarship. Come back soon for information about how to participate.
The Deployed Analyst Panel discussion – This panel, led by Touggy H. J. Orgeron, Chief, Resource Analysis Division, Center for Army Analysis, will talk about analysts' efforts and observations in the field, such as Afghanistan.
