University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

In 2005, while figuring out my next step in life, I came across this book. After reading it cover to cover, I decided to get a Ph.D. in operations research, a degree I thought I’d never seek in a field I had never heard of. This book exposed me to operations researchers’ work in voting, emergency services, criminal justice, the environment, and health care. More than any other single book, this one illuminated a path I didn’t know existed and set my life on its current course.
