When I came to the ORC open house, I immediately felt at home. I longed for a graduate program to work on important, multidisciplinary problems in society, but also on a day-to-day basis incorporating my love of solving challenging theoretical problems I found in my engineering undergraduate studies. Operations Research was exactly what I was looking for.

The ORC is simply an incredible place to be a graduate student. There is a strong sense of community, and the students and faculty are incredibly helpful and welcoming. One of my favorite parts of the ORC is the desk space. New and senior students have desks interspersed, which facilitated so many valuable conversations and has enabled me to learn so much from those around me.
