The International Honor Society for Operations Research and Management Science
Bucknell University’s Chapter of Omega Rho International Honor Society for Operations Research and Management Science – The Honor Society of INFORMS was among the first 40 Chapters worldwide, established in January 2022.
Members are recruited during their junior year when they are pursuing a baccalaureate degree in Analytics and Operations Management (ANOP), Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science, or displaying adequate interest and rigor in related academic or professional pursuits. Applications are reviewed by the current executive committee and faculty then subsequently voted on for admission (simple majority).
Overall, this society looks to engage students of operations research, management science, and other closely related areas in a close-knit community to “develop the desire and intellectual skills for lifelong learning.” Members will gain the opportunity to interact with other students and faculty through local Omega Rho Chapter meetings as well as participate in special events and lectures held by industry professionals.
The faculty advisor is Associate Professor Joe Wilck, Analytics and Operations Management, Freeman College of Management.
