The student chapter had an amazing opportunity to gain insight into the world of government work with NASA from Dr. Ian Robertson. His background and knowledge on scale development and psychometrics with small populations was especially interesting for chapter members. Thank you Dr. Robertson for taking the time to offer advice to students who are getting ready to enter the work force.

Chapter members participated in trivia night at Two Docs to decompress from a busy first half of the spring semester. Spending time with classmates outside of school and being active in the local community is a great way to relax and bond with each other!

Gaining insight on her day to day responsibilities and tips for getting into the industry has framed what to expect from a career in UX research.
The student chapter held their first meeting of the spring semester! The executive council members had an opportunity to share the progress they've made for events and trips that will take place throughout the year. We look forward to taking part in activities that focus on diversity, networking, professional development, and community.
