She was once just an adorable pledge in our sorority. Now she is killing it in everything from academia to peaceful advocacy.

Dr. Nicole Berliner Koppel is our guest this week, just days after she attended a peaceful pro Israel rally on the Arts Quad at Cornell. We can't think of anyone better to attend the rally and then report back to all of us.

She is also the MBA Director and a professor at the Department of Information Management & Business Analytics at Montclair State University. Her research can be found in many peer-reviewed journals and has been presented at numerous regional, national and international conferences. 

Nicole received a PhD in Operations Management and an MBA from Rutgers University, an MS degree in Industrial Engineering and Operations Research from Columbia University, and  (most importantly) a BS in Operations Research and Industrial Engineering from Cornell. 

Also - wait till you hear her dissertation from 25 years ago - she was waaaaay ahead.

And we owe her an apology for pranks played on her roommates Knopp and Chin that affected her too. Sorry, Nicole
