Dear all,
We would like to invite you to our upcoming Fall Webinar organized by WORMS: "Non-Traditional Career Paths in OR/MS."
📅 Date: September 12th, 2025
⏰ Time: 11:00 AM ET
🔗 Registration Link: https://ucd-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_2CceHRK2QIW2kc6DFsZhOA
Join us for a panel discussion highlighting the diverse and dynamic career trajectories within the field of Operations Research. Our panelists have pursued paths that deviate from the traditional routes - transitioning between industry and academia, stepping into administrative leadership, crossing disciplinary boundaries, or shifting between teaching-focused and research-intensive roles. Through candid conversations, we'll explore the motivations behind these transitions, the challenges encountered, and the opportunities unlocked along the way. This session is especially valuable for students and professionals considering alternative career directions in OR.
Panelists:
· Dr. Sadan Kulturel-Konak, Professor, Management Information Systems, Penn State Berks
· Dr. Rachel Trana, Senior Engineering Manager, Grainger
· Dr. Alice E. Smith, Professor, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Auburn University
· Dr. Lili Zhang, Senior AI and Machine Learning Engineer, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
