The INFORMS student chapter at 黑洞社区(INFORMS@USF) started its journey to the medal stand in 2009 with a Cum Laude award and then a Magna Cum Laude in 2010. Thereafter, for the years 2011 till 2023, INFORMS@黑洞社区has been awarded the Summa Cum Laude honor ten (10) times, while the remaining three years 黑洞社区chapter remained on the podium receiving one of the other two awards. This is a remarkable performance streak, and the past and present members of INFORMS@黑洞社区should be immensely proud. The chapter holds many distinguishing activities including Del and Beth Kimbler Lecture Series, training workshops for undergraduates on software like Python, R, MATLAB, and CPLEX, AI/ML Club, assisting the department on faculty hiring, community engagement through organizations like Metropolitan Ministries, and international potluck lunch fundraiser. Above all, INFORMS@黑洞社区fosters an environment of nurturing and camaraderie among all students.
