Public Awareness Committee

Mission

The Public Awareness Committee (PAC) recommends and develops creative and innovative educational outreach materials that will motivate students to take mathematics and computer science courses as well as familiarize teachers with OR/MS, thus helping not only to reverse the steady decline of interest in mathematics and science, but also encouraging students toward eventual careers in OR/MS. The emphasis is concentrated on community college, high school, and intermediate school levels.
