IISE Twin Cities
DID YOU KNOW? The IISE North Central Regional Conference is comprised of 18 student chapters from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. In February, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign hosted the 2017 IISE North Central Regional Conference. The conference brought together more than 150 participants from 11 regional universities to socialize, network, exchange ideas and compete. “This event is important so different students from different universities get to know each other and what others are doing,” said Adriana Garcia, an Industrial Engineering student and president of UIC’s chapter of IISE. “It’s all part of networking. That is the most important thing when it comes to a career.”
Date Thursday, November 9th, 2017 Time 6:00 – 9:00 pm Place Dave & Buster's, 500 Southdale Center, Edina, MN 55435 Cost Free for IISE Professional Members, $15 for Students RSVP An e-invitation has been sent. If you did not receive the invite,

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful fall. I can't
believe October is almost over already. It seems like
just yesterday our board met and planned the year
over dinner and drinks - now we have just a couple
events left! I must thank the board again for a fun
and successful 2017. If you are interested in being a
part of the 2018 Board of Directors we are now
accepting nominations. It truly is a fantastic way to
give back to the profession while expanding your own
network and skillsets. Please email
[email protected] more information.
Board member or not, the perks of your IISE
membership just got even better! Did you hear that
all events are now free to members?! We believe this
is a great way to increase the value proposition of
your IISE membership. Another new membership
perk - IISE just launched a new platform called IISE
Connect. This is a forum for IISE members to directly
connect, collaborate and engage with other active
members. It looks awesome, check it out here:
https://connect.iise.org/home. As always,
membership reduces the expense of attending the
national conference which is in Orlando next May.
Kayla Bosak, IISE Twin Cities President.

Chapter Activity Report
Focus On: Student Outreach
IISE Twin Cities feels that students are a vital part of the growth and activity within the
Industrial Engineering profession and student outreach has always been a priority for
our chapter. A few of the ways we support students have been highlighted in this issue
of the newsletter:
Hosting joint events with collegiate chapters visiting the Twin Cities
Volunteering for the Industrial Engineering portion of the local Girl Scout Patch Day
Youth Outreach
Mentoring and
Workshops
Collegiate IISE
Chapter
Involvement
Professional Chapter
Involvement
Cycle of Student
Outreach
In addition to the mentoring, volunteering and
facilitating activities, IISE Twin Cities also
provides financial support in the form of
scholarships. For many years, we have awarded
scholarships for IISE majors from the colleges or
universities within our IISE North Central Region.
The intent of the IISE Twin Cities scholarship
program is to recognize Industrial Engineering
students who have contributed to the growth
and activity of the IE profession or their Student
IISE Chapter and have promoted Industrial
Engineering within their school or community.
This year we are again offering two $250 student scholarships for
current engineering students. Requirements include completing at
least one year of undergraduate course work, being an active IISE
member and completing our scholarship application. The IISE Twin
Cities Board of Directors reviews all the applications for the best
candidates. The top two students as voted by the board receive
each $250 scholarship.
For an application, questions or comments, contact
[email protected] with “Student Scholarship Application”
in the subject line. We ask that students apply by December 1st,
2017. For more information, please contact the Student Liason
Director, Jeremiah Johnson at [email protected].
. Applications are due by Monday, December 12th, 2016!

We had a new location for the annual IISE summer get together this year - Bauhaus Brew Labs in
Northeast Minneapolis! Our group enjoyed snacks, played a few games of bean bags, and IISE
Twin Cities provided 2 beverage tickets for anyone who came for this social/networking event, so
keep an eye out for future
events like this! It was a
beautiful summer night at
Bauhaus to relax and network
with other Industrial and
Systems Engineers. We
appreciate seeing some new
faces- some of which were
first year graduates, we hope
to see you all at our future
events!

profession and individuals involved with improving quality and productivity. Founded in 1948, IISE is an international, non-profit association that provides leadership for the application, education, training,
research and development of industrial engineering.
With approximately 15,000 members and 280 chapters worldwide, IISE’s primary mission is to meet the ever-changing needs of industrial engineers, which includes
undergraduate and graduate students, engineering practitioners and consultants in all industries,
engineering managers, and engineers in education, research and government.
What is IISE Twin Cities?
The IISE Twin Cities Chapter 38 provides a network for individuals within Minnesota and surrounding areas to
collaborate about industrial engineering. Our members include professionals with industrial engineering degrees, both working in IE and non-IE roles and
professionals working in IE related functions.
We provide monthly events which include topics in professional development, Lean, Six Sigma, Quality,
process improvement and tours at distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, hospitals and consulting firms. We also promote the industrial engineering profession by providing scholarships to IE students and becoming
involved with several student IISE chapters.
