About the School of Operations Research & Information Engineering
The School of Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE) at Cornell is consistently placed among a handful of leading Operations Research programs worldwide. Cornell's program in Operations Research and Information Engineering is a rigorous program with approximately 225 undergraduates, 100 Master of Engineering students, and 60 Ph.D. students. ORIE focuses on fundamental principles and methods but also uses contextual learning and design experiences to integrate the science with engineering. Our educational approach emphasizes a broad mastery of core disciplinary areas including methods of optimization, applied probability modeling and statistical analysis, manufacturing systems design and operation, and systems analysis and methodology.
Within the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering, the Undergraduate Coordinator plays a key role in the success and well-being of the undergraduate population and in particular to the "affiliated" majors to the degree program. This role is often a first point of contact for prospective/current students and their families and also represents the public face of the school to those populations.

They collaborate with Engineering Student Services to develop and implement services to support undergraduate students and are part of the team that addresses students of concern or at risk. This role may be exposed to highly confidential and sensitive information.
