INFORMS Alumni Bring Life Experiences to Students

In a Stanford INFORMS panel last quarter, MS&E alumni shared career and industry perspectives with current MS&E graduate students.
A panel of speakers

These alumni, once students just like those in their audience, know how helpful it can be to hear about the real-life experience and career choices of others.

Anne Robinson, MS&E alumnus (PhD ’05) and INFORMS president made this possible by coordinating the speakers for the MS&E student organization.

The panel participants included Ruixue Guo, Stanford INFORMS Student Chapter co-president (PhD ’15), Eva Petrova-Ibarria (MS ’11), Ozlem Yuksel (PhD ’01), Colin Kessinger (PhD ’99 and lecturer) and JP Loose (UW-Madison, PhD ’08).
