Donna Ehrlich

I work full time in higher education as an Associate Professor in Computer Information Systems and do part time Information Systems consulting. I began my education and career in “data processing” which dates me, but I started at a very young age. I entered the corporate track working for Fortune 500 companies. I began in program and operations, did a great job … and in corporate America what do we do, we promote to a level of incompetence, I was moved into a leadership role. I quickly realized working with people was much different than working with computers, so, I returned to school to obtain further education. I completed a bachelor’s degree from Business Administration in Human Resource Management to assist with my technology education and leadership in technology. While managing the department I found that there was a need for continual training and further education necessary for the employees as the now called “information systems” was changing rapidly. This led me back to the classroom where I completed a Masters in Information Systems from Friends University, again so I could learn and grow with the changes in business. I spent over 15 years working for different corporations in the information systems and financial decisions support systems in leadership roles.

I enjoyed my time in the corporate world but also began teaching part time and soon realized that was where I found the greatest satisfaction. I have for the past several years been teaching full time, while consulting part time, and have completed my terminal degree (PhD) through Nova Southeastern University from the Graduate School of Information Sciences with a Doctorate of Philosophy in Information Systems. I have since served in full time roles in academics including serving as a full time faculty, director and dean. I have participated in the design and directed new programs.

I have enjoyed serving in the different capacities, and in every role I enjoyed learning from the people and students I have the opportunity to work with; whether it is in education or in the corporate world. I look forward to learning more about you as we continue to learn and grow together.

During my FacilitatOR sessions, I will lead discussions on Higher Education Changes for Technology Classes (Tuesday, November 10, 2:30-3:30pm EST on Floor 4) and Self-Driving Cars (Wednesday, November 11, 1:30-2:30pm EST on Floor 4).

Sommer Gentry

I’m a Professor of Mathematics at the United States Naval Academy, and am also on the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a senior investigator with the U.S. Scientific Registry for Transplant Recipients. I build operations research models to improve access to organ transplantation. My work had major impacts in the distribution of organs for transplant, by showing that redistricting U.S. liver allocation areas would reduce geographic disparity in access to liver transplants and save hundreds of lives each year. I also designed optimization methods to maximize the number of kidney transplants possible through kidney exchanges, and served as an advisor to the United States and Canada in their efforts to create national paired donation registries. My work helped convince Congress to clarify the legal status of kidney paired donation in December 2007. I have also received the MAA’s Henry L. Alder award for distinguished teaching, and been a finalist for the INFORMS Wagner Prize for Excellence in O.R. Practice.
