"What I loved most about IEOR was the collaborative, problem-solving culture—working through real-world challenges with people who genuinely enjoy thinking deeply and building together. I’m incredibly grateful to the professors, mentors, and peers who pushed me to grow and made the experience so meaningful. I’ll miss the energy of the community and the constant curiosity that defines the department. #optimize" Rishika Gorai,BS IEOR '26, linkedin.com/in/rishikagorai
