New INFORMS OR/MS/A Master Teacher Mentoring Program

  • 1.  New INFORMS OR/MS/A Master Teacher Mentoring Program

    Posted 08-11-2020 16:12
    I am writing to introduce the INFORMS Early Career Teachers' Network (ECTN) & Workshop. This INFORMS Committee on Teaching and Learning (CTL) initiative has two goals:

    1. Provide INFORMS members in teaching-stream roles with the guidance to become OR/MS/Analytics Master Teachers
    2. Increase the likelihood that INFORMS members in teaching-stream roles achieve tenure

    For the purposes of this initiative, CTL is defining "teaching-stream role" to be:

    1. A teaching-focused position at a research university

    OR

    2. A position at a college or university that has historically focused on teaching

    More information about the initiative can be found on the Annual Meeting website (Programs > Pre-event meetings) here: http://meetings2.informs.org/wordpress/annual2020/ectn-workshop/

    CTL welcomes applications from potential participants/mentees and expressions of interest from potential mentors by Friday, August 21st.

    Please contact me at ndesnoye@sju.edu or 484-432-2767 if you have questions or would like to discuss.

    Best,

    Neil
