The TTU student chapter had a wonderful opportunity to meet Dr. Eui Yang and gain insight on how interdisciplinary user experience teams operate. Eui presented what UX practices are currently used in industry and discussed how we can leverage our academic and human factors backgrounds. She also offered valuable advice on how we can stand out in the hiring process and what intern and junior level UX researchers should expect in their role. Thank you Eui for taking the time to talk to the student chapter about UX and usability!

At the 67th Human Factors and Ergonomics Society International meeting, the Texas Tech University student chapter received gold status for the 16th year in a row! Students had the opportunity to present posters and network with professionals in the field. Additionally, it brought the TTU community together as chapter members were able to connect with alumni who shared their knowledge and experiences in the field.
Chapter members were able to take a break from school to spend some quality time with some furry friends! Many of our members have pets of their own and it was a rewarding experience to give shelter animals the best chance at a fresh start in their forever home.
With HFES National approaching this month, the student chapter hosted a networking workshop with guest speaker Dr. Changwon Son from the Industrial, Manufacturing, and System Engineering Department. He was able to offer students insight on how to navigate conferences, and fostering lasting connections with potential employers and future collaborators. Thank you Dr. Son for sharing your knowledge and experience with us!
The TTU HFES student chapter recently got together for our second meeting to catch up and discuss plans for the remainder of the semester. Chapter president Yves Valentin started us off with an ice breaker where members shared their academic goals that they would like to achieve this semester. Additionally, he recapped past events such as the volunteer event at the South Plains Food Bank and included updates on future events like our upcoming networking work shop in preparation for HFES National. It was great to see everyone again!
