We would like to thank Corrie Kwan for sharing her experience as a User Experience (UX) researcher for IBM. 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. 

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!

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.
