Richard C.

This is a three-year commitment to INFORMS, the first year as President-Elect, the second as President, and the third as Immediate Past-President. The appointment is effective as of January, 2004.

“I am hoping that this professional engagement will be synergistic with initiatives and priorities of CEE and the Engineering Systems Division (ESD),” said Larson, who holds a dual appointment with CEE and ESD.

ESD Co-director Prof. Daniel Hastings said “This honor for Dick Larson is an indication of the outstanding faculty we have in ESD.”
