Associate Professor Junmin (Jim) Shi received a prestigious international award in October for his research and teaching on operations research and management science, known as OR/MS in the field, at the INFORMS conference in Indianapolis.

Operations research and management science refers to the application of scientific principles to solve industrial or business problems. Shi is the first faculty member from New Jersey Institute of Technology to receive the INFORMS Prize for Teaching OR/MS Practice, which began in 1998.

The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has bestowed on NJIT alumna General (retired) Ellen M. Pawlikowski the 2022 Arthur M. Bueche Award. Pawlikowski joins distinguished professor Louis Lanzerotti as the second Highlander to receive the award.

It's common for the best NJIT students and faculty to receive accolades in their fields, but the latest recognition for Highlander success was awarded to a university finance leader.

The honor went to John Gruppo, director of budget planning and analysis, for his selection into the Emerging Leaders Program of the National Association of College and University Business Officers, or NACUBO.
