    Good morning,

    The INFORMS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) invites you to a webinar taking place tomorrow, Tuesday, July 25, 11 AM - Noon on the topic "Barriers to Practice". At this webinar we'll discuss issues related to laws targeting public universities that provide services related to diversity, equity and inclusion. These anti-DEI laws impact student recruiting and retention, classroom teaching, research and community engagement, and are in opposition to INFORMS' values.

    •    Justin Boutilier, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Wisconsin – Madison
    •    Julie Ivy, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, North Carolina State University
    •    Adrienne Lu, Chronicle of Higher Education

    We look forward to seeing you at tomorrow's DEIC webinar.

    Sincerely,

    Michael Johnson
