Photoshoot with the 2024 INFORMS Student Chapter Annual Award Plaque

The 2024 INFORMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington, marked another proud moment for the UMass Amherst Student Chapter of INFORMS, as we were honored to receive the INFORMS Student Chapter Annual Award with the Magna Cum Laude degree. While we shared highlights of the conference in an earlier blog post, our recent photoshoot with the award plaque deserves a dedicated spotlight of its own. Here is a close-up of the 2024 award plaque, a testament to the hard work and dedication of our chapter members.

This year, the photoshoot took place in the beautiful inner circle of the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Despite the windy weather making outdoor photos a challenge, the background showcased parts of the building’s less-seen beauty, providing a perfect setting to commemorate our achievement.

During the photoshoot, we also captured a unique moment indoors where sunlight created interesting patterns of light and shadow on our faces. While not the perfect lighting, this photo is showcasing the candid atmosphere of the day as we celebrated this achievement together.

We also thank our faculty advisor, Professor Nagurney, for her continued guidance and support, which make achievements like this possible. As we look ahead to next year’s INFORMS Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, we stay committed to keep this momentum going.
