The 2003 INFORMS Combined (Doctoral and Teaching Effectiveness) Colloquia will be held Oct. 17-18 in Atlanta, immediately preceding the INFORMS Annual Meeting. Participation is by nomination only. See the call for nominations at www.isye.gatech.edu/informs-colloquium and the June issue of OR/MS Today for more details.

The Doctoral Colloquium is comprised of two distinct tracks (Academic and Industry) and is targeted toward Ph.D. students who are near graduation. Approximately 20 professional participants will make presentations and lead discussions on issues and technical areas related to academic and industrial careers in operations research and management science.

The fifth Teaching Effectiveness Colloquium, organized by the INFORM-ED and INFORMS Education Committee, is designed to address the growing concern for the quality of both undergraduate- and graduate-level OR/MS instruction. Presenters will demonstrate how to employ case discussions, Web-based simulation exercises and PC software to teach such topics as supply chain management and optimization modeling.
