The Quality, Statistics, and Reliability (QSR) cluster of Institute for 
Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS) is inviting QSR 
student members to participate in the *Student Introduction and 
Interaction session *at INFORMS Annual Meeting 2021. The session is one 
of QSR's very own and has been successfully organized in the last few 
years to help bring PhD students into the spotlight to showcase their 
research through a brief elevator speech, and then benefit from the 
advice of prominent QSR faculty, in a mini panel discussion on how to 
land academic positions, navigate academic life, research, and teaching.

The Student Introduction and Interaction Session is designed for QSR 
student members to build their professional network, show up their 
talents, and learn from invited guests. In this session, each student 
will be given two minutes to deliver an elevator speech about his/her 
research interests and accomplishments; Senior QSR members, junior 
faculty members, and industry guests are invited to interact with all 
attendees.

A printed brochure will be prepared which includes all speakers' bio. 
The brochures will be distributed to all attendees and among the QSR 
community for publicity and exposure. Invitations to this session will 
be sent to department chairs and employers that have interests in 
recruiting QSR students.

is capped at 10 student speakers due to limited capacity. Students who
