Dear INFORMS Community,
The INFORMS Education Outreach Committee (EOC) K-12 Subcommittee is set to host the "K-12 Outreach Panel: Collaboration Across Institutions" at the 2024 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA. This panel discussion will particularly focus on the power of collaboration between various institutions. This initiative aims to bring together individuals and groups who are passionate about making a tangible impact in the educational journey of K-12 students. By sharing resources, expertise, and innovative strategies, we believe we can create a more significant impact than any of us could achieve alone.
We Are Looking for Panelists Who:
- Have experience or a strong interest in K-12 education and outreach.
- Represent institutions (schools, colleges, universities, non-profits, or corporations) currently involved in or planning to initiate K-12 outreach programs.
- Are eager to collaborate with other institutions to enhance the quality and reach of K-12 education.
- Have insights, strategies, or success stories to share about overcoming challenges in K-12 outreach.
- Are innovators looking to bring new ideas and energy to the table.
If you are interested in joining the K-12 Outreach Panel as a panelist, or if you simply want more information, please contact Neil Desnoyers (ndesnoye@sju.edu) and Zihan Zhang (zihan.zhang@gatech.edu) by May 1. We are looking for a diverse group of panelists who can bring unique perspectives and expertise to the discussion.
This is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference in the educational landscape by collaborating with like-minded professionals and institutions. Your experiences and insights could be exactly what we need to make our collective outreach efforts more effective and far-reaching.
We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully welcoming you to the K-12 Outreach Panel.
Best regards,
INFORMS EOC K-12 Subcommittee
