The SLB exists to support and encourage the academic, social, and professional pursuits of students in Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE). This is done in several ways: 1) facilitating communication between IOE student organizations; 2) providing resources for students and organizations; and 3) acting as a liaison between the general student body of IOE and the department administration. Each IOE student organization is represented on the officer board, and every IOE student is welcome to be an active member.
