Naming Contest Introduction
As many of you are aware, the faculty has been working to reach a consensus on a name for the Departments formerly known as Engineering-Economic Systems and Operations Research. I had the pleasure of announcing a Naming Contest, designed to expand our alternative set. As a result, I strongly encouraged new and innovative names, pointing a future direction for the synergy of OR and EES, rather than an
extension of either predecessor. The rules of the contest were simple:
- You must be a student or staff member in the new department.
- You may submit up to five candidate names for consideration.
- If the faculty chooses one of the names submitted, then the contestant who sent it to me first is the winner.
- The prize is a $100 gift certificate to the Stanford Bookstore.
- The deadline for submission was 8pm on Thursday, April 18, 1996.
- Submission is by email to me, shachter@camis.stanford.edu .
- Although fruit names are legal, vegetables should not be used.
- The opinion of the judge is final.
Results
I am happy to say that there was an enthusiastic response featuring:
- 45 contestants;
- 162 names suggested;
- 140 unique names.
Thank you all for your interest and support. Your suggestions were brought to the faculty meeting on Friday morning, April 19, 1996.
As of this posting, a name has not yet been chosen for the department, so it is not yet possible to determine a winner.
There have been an additional 15 names submitted to me since the contest ended and I am appending them below. Note that all names submitted have been included. (Please do not regard this as an invitation to mischief.)
