Please join me in congratulating Professor Andy Loerch, of our Systems Engineering and Operations Research department, who won the 2011 Vance R. Wanner Memorial Award, given by the Military Operations Research Society (MORS). Each year the Society grants the award to a military operations research professional who is deemed to have played a major role in strengthening the profession. The award was presented to Prof. Loerch at the Annual MORS Conference in Monterey earlier this month. Further information can be found at
