IOE Senior Allyse Locker was awarded 2nd place in the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) Detroit Chapter Irv Otis Scholarship.

The scholarship candidate must show that he/she is dedicated to the Industrial Engineering profession and IIE. Being involved in programs with their school and promoting the discipline of IE are excellent examples. Being involved in the leadership of their local IIE chapter is also an excellent demonstration of what is required of a successful candidate.

Please join the department in congratulating her on this award!
