Wishing all those celebrating a lovely Thanksgiving!

More than 2/3 of the students showed up this morning to my Transportation & Logistics class @isenbergumass.bsky.social (a few had excused absences). I was the only one teaching on the 1st floor and it made me feel so good that my students care about learning! I don't want the semester to end.

Thank you su much! Wishing you and your family a lovely Thanksgiving!

That is so super nice of you to say. Thank you and thank you for all your great work in education and advocacy of OR and Analytics!

Many thanks to @theorsociety.bsky.social for the wonderful news with special appreciation to those who wrote letters of support. There has definitely been an OR Society theme this past year, beginning with my Blackett Lecture last December. I'm deeply grateful for the confidence & for the memories!

Indeed, so very sad for their entire family.

Doing galleys of a paper that were to arrive on Thanksgiving Day but came today. No idea why so many of the references that we had included are not in the galleys!

While I was busy this morning with a Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) Board meeting, 2 of my @isenbergumass.bsky.social PhD students, Samira Samadi & Dana Hassani, were presenting in the 1st session of the DSI conference, organized by my former PhD student @denizbesik.bsky.social! #food #supplychains

And the genocide of Ukrainians, sadly, continues.
Eternal memory to all the victims of the 1932–1933 Holodomor genocide and the mass artificial famines of 1921–1923 and 1946–1947.

Zelenskyy: “We defended Ukraine, we defend it now, and we will always defend it. Because this is our only home. And in our home, Russia will never be the master.”

After the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) Board of Directors meeting today, I wrote to our MA Congressional delegation the importance of supporting Ukraine and its freedom.

I always enjoyed articles by Tatiana Schlossberg in @nytimes.com and this article in @newyorker.com by her on her battle with terminal leukemia is heartbreaking www.newyorker.com/culture/the-... Her Mother is Caroline Kennedy.
A Battle with My Blood
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Ready for the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) board meeting starting at 7am Boston time. Historic period for Ukraine now.

Thanks to all the friends and colleagues who are calling and emailing us on behalf of Ukraine.
#StandWithUkraine
Ukrainians truly need this right now — even if as a sign of solidarity. And constant, stubborn solidarity goes a long way.

Thanks! And hours of important meetings tomorrow. Enjoy DSI in Orlando.

We had a great Kyiv School of Economics (KSE) International Academic (IAB) meeting today led by KSE Rector Brik and Chair of the IAB, the Nobel Laureate Roger Myerson. And tomorrow is the annual KSE Board of Directors meeting. And now this www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...
U.S. pushing Ukraine to sign peace deal by Thanksgiving or lose support
The U.S. is sending “signals” that everything could be off the table if Kyiv does not quickly sign a proposal, which was drawn up by special envoy Witkoff.

All set for the meeting of the International Academic Board of the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE). Looking forward to presentations and the discussions.

It's almost 2AM in Kyiv and a group of us just got an email from a colleague there about an update to our board meeting agenda for tomorrow. The dedication of those involved in higher ed in Ukraine during wartime inspires me.

Next Tues, classes are to be held @umassamherst.bsky.social & I plan on teaching my Transportation & Logistics class. I know that some students are soon heading out for the Thanksgiving break but I'm sure that quite a few will show up next week. I love teaching that class & have great students.

And after the discussion, Stefanishyna got a standing ovation from the audience.

Listening now to the @washingtonpost.com Women's Global Summit with David Ignatius speaking with Ukraineʼs Ambassador to the US Olga Stefanishyna after a great Transportation & Logistics class this morning @isenbergumass.bsky.social.

I have been happy all day because the students did so well on the congestion pricing (tolls) homework in my Transportation & Logistics class @isenbergumass.bsky.social, that was graded and returned today. It was also a lot of fun to talk to a journalist from @washingtonpost.com today about #tariffs.

It seems now the major issues have been resolved. Amen.

When I was a Science Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (RIAS) @harvard.edu, Larry Summers was still the #Harvard President. Fellows had dined in his Harvard home. Then he stepped down & Drew Gilpin Faust became the 1st female President. Now this www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Thank you so much. My PhD student & I are very happy as is my @isenbergumass OIM department.

Indeed. Thanks for the confirmation and "good" morning!
