    Hi Rizul,

    I see you're a new member - welcome to INFORMS, and thanks for your post!

    The Open Forum reaches all current INFORMS members, whether they are new or have been around a long time, professors, students, practitioners, or now retired. We have an incredible mix of people in this organization, with expertise and experience in many different areas, so this forum can be a great way to connect with others online. 

    If you have a question about a specific topic or discipline area within OR/MS/Analytics, if you have a problem you'd like to "crowdsource", if you want to ask a question about an INFORMS event - you're encouraged to use this forum for any or all of that, and more! Some people also use it to make announcements. We really intend for it be a place for open discussion, with members helping members.

    Of course, you're always welcome to contact INFORMS staff directly with any questions you may have about our various member benefits or membership itself. You can reach me at 443-757-3532 or tracy.cahall@informs.org. It's great that you've joined us as a student. INFORMS can help you along the road as you finish your studies and move on in your career. Just let us know what you're looking for, and we can connect you to the right resources.

    All the best,
    Tracy
