The prize will recognize the practical importance of operations research while honoring academic leaders who embody the beliefs of Smith, the second CEO of UPS.

All undergraduate and graduate academic programs that incorporate operations research are eligible to compete for the award. This includes programs in management science, quantitative analysis and analytics. The winning program, determined by a selection committee, will receive a $10,000 cash award. "We are pleased to announce the creation of this award," said Rina Schneur, president of INFORMS. "This award is to recognize outstanding academic programs that have implemented their vision of preparing students to be good practitioners of operations research and advanced analytics.

"UPS has a rich history of engineering and operations research, the principles of which were first introduced by our second CEO, George D.
