[UWAB] Sharing my news
by maureen＠cc.gatech.edu 29 Apr '08

29 Apr '08

Hi everyone. As you get ready for summer adventures, I want to share my god news with you... I have accepted a wonderful position in the School of Informatics at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. Beginning August 1st I will be the Assistant Dean for Diversity and Education and will be working both in Bloomington and with the Indianapolis campus that they share with Perdue University. They have a new dean, a newly created position, a faculty that is very involved in outreach initiatives, and an opportunity to work collaboratively to be creative and have impact. I'll continue some of my research too - the college will serve as the lab for action research on promising practices in computing education. So...thanks for all you have given me here at GT, and be sure to keep IU in mind when considering grad programs or faculty positions. They have some very interesting programs in CS, HCI, bioinformatics, medical management informatics, and more. http://www.informatics.indiana.edu/ Have a great summer!! Cheers, Maureen

[UWAB] CREU and MRO-W programs - Application Deadline:May 9, 2008
by Richhart, Alicia Ann 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

****************************************************** The Computing Research Association's Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W), in conjunction with the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC), is pleased to announce two programs that involve undergraduate student research. The goal of these initiatives is to increase the numbers of women and minorities who continue on to graduate school in computer science and engineering. The Collaborative Research Experience for Undergraduates (CREU) program is designed to provide positive research experiences for teams of undergraduates who will work during the academic year at their home institutions. CREU is designed to encourage young computer scientists and engineers from all under represented groups to consider graduate school. The Multidisciplinary Research Opportunities for Women (MRO-W) program is designed to provide positive multidisciplinary research experiences for teams of undergraduates from at least two academic disciplines at their home institutions. MRO-W students work collaboratively on a multidisciplinary project during the academic year and during the following summer. Students will work with one or two sponsoring faculty members on a project for which monetary support is typically not available. Students will each receive a stipend of $3,000 for their work during the academic year and $4000 for their MRO-W summer work. CREU may also receive $500 and MRO-W may receive $1500 to be used for associated special equipment, travel, or supporting materials. Teams consisting of all women or all under represented minorities are especially encouraged to apply. In order to support the exchange of shared common experiences, individual teams should be homogeneous with respect to minority status or gender. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- See the websites for specific information about Basic Eligibility and Evaluation Criteria. You may also see the reports from previous years for examples of funded CREU and MRO-W projects.

To: Candis Pham <touching.the.sky(a)gmail.com>, Michael Slaughter < mslaughter3(a)mail.gatech.edu> Hey, Just wanted to send a quick thank you over your way for helping us throw a successful Mafia Night last week. There were, if I remember right, 58 people who signed in, which far exceeded my expectations. We even went right on through our midnight closing time with a couple of games going on. While everything about the setup wasn't *perfect*, the night in general seemed fun for the people who got involved. Hopefully we're all in agreement on that. Anyway, it was a pretty good team effort. Without you - both individually and your organizations - I don't think Mafia would have been half as successful as it was. Thanks again, Uzo

Feel free to email her at jennifer.whitlow(a)gatech.edu if you have any questions. Thanks, -- Candis Pham Georgia Institute of Technology Computational Media ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jennifer Whitlow <onlineeventsupport(a)cancer.org> Date: Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 2:27 PM Subject: Join Me in Making A Difference! To: touching.the.sky(a)gmail.com [image: RFL email header] Whether it's a friend, family member, or neighbor down the street, we all know someone who has been touched by cancer. Many of us are concerned about this disease and want to do something to make a difference. That's why I've decided to take part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life(R) . It's an event that brings together the whole community and helps raise funds for the fight against this disease. I know you care about cancer, too, and I'd love for you to join me as part of my Relay team. At the event, we'll camp out overnight, walk around the track, and meet lots of new people. There is an incredible tribute to cancer survivors and caregivers that starts off the night and a moving ceremony honoring those who have fought the disease. I can truly say Relay is unlike anything else you'll ever do. It's a night full of fun, hope, and remembrance.

[UWAB] Relay For Life- CCB team!!
by Candis Pham 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hello everyone! We're looking for participants to form a College of Computing- Student Organizations team in the annual Relay For Life event! The event will be the night of Friday, April 11, 2008 at the CRC field. Relay For Life(R), the American Cancer Society's signature event, is a fun-filled overnight experience designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer. At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. During Relay For Life (R) events, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. The events are held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Through the survivors' lap and the luminaria ceremony, we honor the people who have faced cancer first hand, and we remember those who have been lost to this disease. If you would like to help out, please let me know by e-mailing me by TOMORROW evening (Thursday, March 6, 2008). This is really an awesome event for a great cause. For more information, please visit http://www.relay.gatech.edu/ or http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeSouthAtlanticDi…. -- Candis Pham Women@CC- Chair Georgia Institute of Technology Computational Media

Re: [UWAB] study session generic e-mail
by Suggs, Vickie L 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Hey Diedrick, I also counted between 50-55 students at one time or another last night...huge turn out and a great event! I previously gave Michael a print-out of the freshmen women and minorities email addresses. In Tuesday's meeting, Michael also mentioned sending the notification to the TAs (I believe he also has those email addresses). Also send the notification to the Women@CC, ACM, and SAB email lists. The women's is uwomen(a)cc.gatech.edu and ACM's is President(a)gtACM.org. I think Michael has the SAB email list and can give it to you. It is probably a good idea to go speak with the TAs yourself so that you establish a relationship with them and the faculty who work with them. You can even speak briefly with the academic advisors (Cathy Dunnahoo and Kathy Earwood) and add them to your notification list so that they can tell students in need about the study sessions. You just have to network a bit to build your M@CCademic listserv and reach beyond the current M@CC listserv to improve your numbers. I have copied Michael on this email so that you can touch base and get those emails from him. Finally, please send out your notifications about the study sessions every Friday afternoon and again every Monday afternoon. This way the CC community has plenty of notice regarding the time, date, and location of the study sessions. And Terris has the logo for the study sessions and can send it to you to use for all email notifications. Using an image with the event info. versus a regular email may prove to work better for recruitment purposes. Thx, Vickie -----Original Message----- From: Capers, Deidrick R [mailto:dcapers3@gatech.edu] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 12:48 PM To: Suggs, Vickie L Subject: study session generic e-mail Hi Vickie, Could you tell me the mailing lists that I would be able to send a study session e-mail to so that I can get it to as many COC students as possible or should I send you the e-mail so you can forward it to those lists. I don't know how access works with those mailing lists or if it has to be moderator approved and all that stuff. Oh yeah... Game night was a huge success and I was extremely happy! I did a head count of 45 at one point which meant that over 50 people came through at one point or another. I hope we can get half as much for study session! Deidrick

[UWAB] Planning for College Success Mentoring Program
by Suggs, Vickie L 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Planning for College Success Mentoring Program My name is Brian Sharrow and I run the Planning for College Success mentoring program at Kennedy Middle School. We are a group of Tech students who perform weekly science labs with 8th graders and mentor them on the importance of a college education. At Kennedy there is a technology center filled with various modules for labs such as electronics, robotics, life sciences and many others. Kennedy is looking for a group from Tech to help run the lab. We currently do not have the manpower to undertake this task but we are looking for another group to partner with. Do you know of any? If you would like more information please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for your help, Brian Sharrow Georgia Institute of Technology GT Motorsports Suspension Leader V.P., Planning for College Success

[UWAB] FW: Can you recommend a motivated college student?

Anyone interested?? ________________________________ From: John Ezell [mailto:johnezell@ncwit.org] Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2008 8:10 PM To: academic(a)ncwit.org Subject: Can you recommend a motivated college student? Hi AA Members, If you know a student who you think would like to help with this Pearson Student Advisory Board Initiative, please forward it on. Thanks, NCWIT Academic Alliance -----Begin forwarded message----------- From: "Chung, Teresa" <teresa.chung(a)pearson.com> Date: February 4, 2008 9:26:23 AM MST Subject: RE: Pearson Student Advisory Board - application ****** Earn $1,000 stipend, travel to Boston and other cities - all expenses paid, gain valuable business experience with the leading education publisher - Pearson (www.pearson.com <http://www.pearson.com/> <http://www.pearson.com/> <http://www.pearson.com/> ), receive complimentary copies of Pearson textbooks, and develop a wide network of contacts by participating in the Pearson Student Advisory Board (PSAB) program. Our overall PSAB goal is to establish a dialogue with ten savvy, motivated college students around the country from June 2008 - June 2009. During their term of service, PSAB members will experience first-hand the inner workings of a global publishing business, collaborate and brainstorm with other talented students, and network with many of the top executives within Pearson. Not only are we looking for the best and brightest, but those students who are passionate about learning, want to make a difference through their work, and care about helping other students achieve their potential. We want to encourage computer science majors to apply. Students must be either sophomores or juniors at the time of the application and must submit the following: cover letter, resume, two letters of recommendation from faculty or employer, and transcript of courses and grades (official or unofficial). The application deadline is February 15, 2008 and should be submitted to teresa.chung(a)pearson.com. For more detailed information, go to http://pearsonstudents.com/psab.shtml. Electronic submission of the application is encouraged. Letters of recommendation should be sent directly to teresa.chung(a)pearson.com and the subject line should read "PSAB - student name." If the transcript is not available in an electronic format, send it to my assistant at the address below. Stephanie Hartzband Pearson Education 75 Arlington St. Suite 300 Boston, MA 02116 Students can participate in the program while they are going to school. The time commitment is anywhere between 0 - 5 hours a week. Since projects vary year to year, here's what we are doing now. The Board has been split into three committees: PR, Editorial, and Marketing. We met as a group in Boston for 1 1/2 days where the students interacted with Pearson executives to discuss issues in higher education. Each committee was assigned to a special project and has created a business plan. For example, the Editorial Committee is creating a national website to enable college students to submit photos/artwork to be used on the cover and inside of our books. The Board members are also playing a critical role in shaping new products and revisions of our textbooks. To complete their special assignments, they have traveled to Boston, Denver, NYC, and San Francisco on weekends, and summer and winter breaks. All in all, students have had opportunities to develop their professional

Our overall PSAB goal is to establish a dialogue with ten savvy, motivated college students around the country from June 2008 - June 2009. During their term of service, PSAB members will experience first-hand the inner workings of a global publishing business, collaborate and brainstorm with other talented students, and network with many of the top executives within Pearson. Not only are we looking for the best and brightest, but those students who are passionate about learning, want to make a difference through their work, and care about helping other students achieve their potential. We want to encourage computer science majors to apply. Students must be either sophomores or juniors at the time of the application and must submit the following: cover letter, resume, two letters of recommendation from faculty or employer, and transcript of courses and grades (official or unofficial). The application deadline is February 15, 2008 and should be submitted to teresa.chung(a)pearson.com. For more detailed information, go to http://pearsonstudents.com/psab.shtml. Electronic submission of the application is encouraged. Letters of recommendation should be sent directly to teresa.chung(a)pearson.com and the subject line should read "PSAB - student name." If the transcript is not available in an electronic format, send it to my assistant at the address below. Stephanie Hartzband Pearson Education 75 Arlington St. Suite 300 Boston, MA 02116 Students can participate in the program while they are going to school. The time commitment is anywhere between 0 - 5 hours a week. Since projects vary year to year, here's what we are doing now. The Board has been split into three committees: PR, Editorial, and Marketing. We met as a group in Boston for 1 1/2 days where the students interacted with Pearson executives to discuss issues in higher education. Each committee was assigned to a special project and has created a business plan. For example, the Editorial Committee is creating a national website to enable college students to submit photos/artwork to be used on the cover and inside of our books. The Board members are also playing a critical role in shaping new products and revisions of our textbooks. To complete their special assignments, they have traveled to Boston, Denver, NYC, and San Francisco on weekends, and summer and winter breaks. All in all, students have had opportunities to develop their professional skills and to network with other talented students across the country. ******

We have a very important survey about possibly implementing a green fee on campus to help with various renewable energy measures on campus. We would like as many students to take the survey as possible (whether they would be for it or against it) so that we can get an accurate representation of the student body. The survey can be taken online here: http://www.esurveyspro.com/Survey.aspx?id=bfd0fe8f-8031-41ac-bb93-63f333 59230b If you are a student please take a moment to take the survey and pass it on. If you are not a student, please help us disseminate this survey out to more students. This information will be given to our SGA president, Anu Parvatiyar, so that she may use it THIS WEEKEND when representatives from all the public universities around Georgia will convene in Atlanta to discuss recommendations for the GA Board of Regents. If the Board of Regents approves the idea of implementing a Green Fee ($5-25 per semester compared to over $100 technology fee) to fund energy efficiency and renewable energy in public universities, Georgia schools would then have the potential to become national leaders in sustainable energy policy. Needless to say that would be a HUGE step towards bringing clean, renewable, and efficient energy to GT!

[UWAB] FW: [Talk2women] [Fwd: CRA-W DMP & CDC DMP Summer 2008 ResearchInternships]
by Biggers, Maureen Short 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

A wonderful summer research internship for undergrad women! Maureen +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CRA-W DMP & CDC DMP SUMMER 2008 RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS Application Deadline February 15, 2008 The CRA-W Distributed Mentor Program (CRA DMP) and the CDC Distributed Mentor Program (CDC DMP) are highly selective programs that match promising undergraduates with a faculty mentor for a summer research experience at the faculty member's home institution. This experience is invaluable for students who are considering graduate school, providing them with a close-up view of what graduate school is really like and also increasing their competitiveness as an applicant for graduate admissions and fellowships. With the CDC DMP, an option exists for the research to take place remotely, using collaborative technologies such that the student can remain at his or her home institution with local and remote mentors. The CRA-W DMP (operating since 1994) seeks to increase the number of women entering graduate studies in the fields of CS & CE while the CDC DMP (launched in 2007) seeks to increase the number of men and women from underrepresented groups entering graduate studies in the fields of CS & CE. Funding for the student consists of $6000 for the summer (10 weeks), plus relocation travel assistance when appropriate. Additional funds may be available to support student conference travel, either during the summer or afterward, and for outreach activities promoting the DMP. A common On-line Application for the CRA-W DMP and CDC DMP (students and faculty mentors can apply to one or both programs), more information about the programs, and webpages authored by previous participants are available at: http://parasol.tamu.edu/dmp/ Application Deadline February 15, 2008 Awards Announced: mid-March 2008 Note regarding cost sharing by faculty mentors: The number of students interested in the DMP program has increased substantially over the last several years and many qualified students have not been selected due to lack of funding. To enable more students to participate, faculty are now encouraged to provide funds to support (partially or fully) students; the DMP will provide travel support for all students. Note for faculty mentors regarding the CRA-W DMP Program: Male faculty are encouraged to apply as mentors - men have been serving as CRA-W DMP mentors since summer 2004. Based on the number of mentor applications typically received from female faculty, and the documented benefits of female role models for female undergraduates, most DMP funds will be allocated to female mentors. Hence, it is anticipated that male mentors will provide full funding for their students' stipends (the program will provide travel support). Note for faculty mentors regarding the CDC DMP Program: All interested faculty are encouraged to apply as mentors. However, based on the documented benefits of role models from similar demographic groups, it is anticipated that most CDC DMP funds will be used to support students matched with mentors from underrepresented groups. Hence, it is anticipated that other mentors will provide full funding for their students' stipends (the program will provide travel support). For more information about the DMP consult the DMP webpages http://parasol.tamu.edu/dmp/ or contact the DMP Co-Coordinators at dmp(a)cs.tamu.edu Nancy Amato, Professor, Texas A&M University Co-Coordinator, CRA-W Distributed Mentor Project Tracy Camp, Professor, Colorado School of Mines Co-Coordinator, CRA-W Distributed Mentor Project Maria Gini, Professor, University of Minnesota Co-Coordinator, CRA-W Distributed Mentor Project Jessica Hodgins, Professor, Carnegie Mellon University Co-Coordinator, CRA-W Distributed Mentor Project Valerie Taylor, Department Head & Wisenbaker Professor, Texas A&M University, Co-Coordinator, CDC Distributed Mentor Project Bryant York, Professor, Portland State University Co-Coordinator, CDC Distributed Mentor Project The Computing Research Association (CRA, http://cra.org) is an association of more than 180 North American academic departments of computer science and computer engineering; laboratories and centers in industry, government, and academia engaging in basic computing research; and affiliated professional societies. The Coalition to Diversity Computing (CDC, http://www.cdc-computing.org/) is a joint organization of the ACM, CRA, and IEEE-CS. Please note that CDC is in the process of overhauling the website. The overhaul, with updates to projects, should be available sometime this Spring. The CRA-W DMP is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation with additional support from AAAI, the Luce Foundation, and USENIX. The CDC DMP is supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- Human-Centered Computing College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology www.cc.gatech.edu/~yardi _______________________________________________ Talk2women mailing list Talk2women(a)cc.gatech.edu https://mailman.cc.gatech.edu/mailman/listinfo/talk2women

Annual events in the past include WST-sponsored lectures, The Vagina Monologues, Red Dress, and Take Back the Night. Take Back the Night is a signature WAM program held annually to educate people and honor survivors of sexual violence with speakers and a candlelight vigil. Last year's program drew more than 600 participants. Women's Awareness Month offered a successful month of programming with 11 events attracting more than 1,500 in total attendance. To make this year as successful as possible, we would like to request that your organization takes part in WAM by helping to fund some of this year's events. Some special events being planned this year are focusing on women's health. Our, Health Day at the Campus Recreation Center and support of the American Heart Association's Red Dress campaign are just a few. Another event being planned this year is Women's Day of Service which will help local women's organizations in the Atlanta area. WAM will also co-sponsor events with different organizations around campus, such as Success Programs, ADAPTS, the Counseling Center, the Ferst Center for the Arts, the Office of International Education, the Office of Study Abroad, and the Department of Housing - International House. We hope that you will be able to support us in our efforts to increase awareness of such important issues. As a sponsor, your financial contribution will support Women's Awareness Month's overall budget. However, you can choose to be listed as a contributing sponsor to Women's Awareness Month or listed as a sponsor of a specific event (i.e. Take Back the Night) if it more directly supports your mission. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email at WAMatGT(a)gmail.com or Vinutha Prabhakar, the Collaborations Co-Chair at vprabhakar3(a)gatech.edu. Our advisor is Colleen Petterson and she can be contacted at 404-385-4501. We request a response by January 15, 2008 to ensure that you receive full publicity for your sponsorship. Thank you, Jessica Dougherty Women's Awareness Month Collaborations Co-Chair -- WAM 2008

[UWAB] Murder Mystery Dinner
by Valerie Killian 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

From: Aaron Goldsmith < agoldsmith3(a)gatech.edu> Date: Nov 13, 2007 12:00 AM Subject: SAB@CC Spring Murder Mystery Dinner To: info(a)dramatech.org, Valerie Killian < vkillian3(a)gatech.edu>, ndavisbcs(a)gatech.edu Hello all, I am emailing you about an event that we are going to be putting on in mid to late January 2008. SAB@CC is going to be putting together a murder mystery dinner theatre at this time (we are deciding between the dates of January 18th and 25th). You may be wondering why I am even emailing you this if we already have plans for it, and the answer is that there are a lot of components that need to be put together for this event to go off without a hitch. Some of what we shall be needing help with will be how/where we are getting food, staffing of the event, advertising the event, and of course funding the event. I have already lined up the cast for the show and the play that will be put on through a local group called CAST that is based out of Douglasville. They are willing to put on the show for reduced ticket prices since we are going to be drawing the audience for them and covering all the other details they normally have to handle. I am also presently working on getting a Klaus classroom for the event unless we can get an even more suitable location. I have personally talked to different members of each of the organizations that I am emailing this to. If any of the organizations are interested then please reply to this email or call me at 770-722-0674. Thanks so much for your time and I look forward to getting this event underway. Aaron Goldsmith SAB@CC

[UWAB] Diversity Talks: Sessions 1 and 2
by Nikea Davis 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

*/*All are encouraged to attend* /* */White Privilege/** Monday, November 5 5 to 7 p.m. Robert Ferst Center for the Arts, Richard's Gallery* Kendall Clark defines white privilege as a right, advantage, or immunity granted to or enjoyed by white persons beyond the common advantage of all others. Participants will learn about white privilege and its systemic impact on partnerships, experience and learn the art of dialogue verses conversation, and talk about their emotions and offer collaborative recommendations regarding white privilege. This group is encouraged for white members of our community.* Facilitated by Len Rothman, Diversity coach. */Internalized Oppression/** Monday, November 5 5 to 7 p.m. Robert Ferst Center for the Arts, Westbrook Gallery* When we think of prejudice reduction work, we think of the stereotypes we have about other groups. But, one of the most painful results of discrimination is that we also end up internalizing many of these stereotypes and taking them out against members of our own group. The impact of Internalized Oppression will be explored. This group is encouraged for persons of color.* Facilitated by Stephanie Ray, associate dean of students/director of Diversity Programs. *In a few weeks we will facilitate a dialogue with both groups.

[UWAB] Mentornet's Top 10 suggestions for "breaking into the CS field"
by Biggers, Maureen Short 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

http://www.mentornet.net/news/newsart.aspx?nid=28&sid=3 MentorNet News - November 2007 Top 10 Secrets for Breaking into Computer Science / Computer Engineering Fields We recently polled our mentors for their Top 10 best secrets for helping students break into careers in computer science and computer engineering fields. Here's what they told us: #1: Consider getting more than one mentor. Get an academic mentor to help you with school strategies, a professional mentor to help you make career path choices, and another mentor working in a field that interests you to learn more about the reality and challenges of his or her job. #2: Start getting internships in year one of your college program. How many internships you experience is not as important as getting as much meaningful work experience as possible. In computer science and engineering, meaningful work can vary from defining requirements for a solution to developing a solution, writing code for a part of a solution, writing test tools, and testing and installing solutions. #3: Stay aware of current trends in your field and keep your skills uptodate on the latest tools. #4: Avoid getting a retail or fast-food job to support yourself while in college; instead, seek out related work experience. #5: Consider scouting for jobs at smaller companies and nonprofits where there will be less competition and the potential for greater responsibilities and learning experiences. #6: Register at temporary agencies, not only to get experience related to your field but to check out corporate cultures, network, and learn where you feel most comfortable. #7: Better to take a low-paying job that offers meaningful work experience than a high-paying job of any kind not related to your field. #8: If you can't get an internship, work on a project on your own to demonstrate initiative and drive or volunteer to help with someone else's team project. #9: Students who can demonstrate self-drive and project experience will rank higher with interviewers. Build something you can show off and be able to discuss the process you used to build it. #10: Diversity is strength. Seek out mentors and work experiences that will introduce you to a diversity of cultures and a variety of leadership styles. If you can, go home with a friend during school break to visit a different part of the country. Learn Chinese and other languages.

In case anyone is interested in attending! Maureen >From the Margin to the Center: Exploring "Artsy" Human Centered Computing Abstract: Although HCI has traditionally anchored itself epistemologically between the twin rocks of engineering/computer science and cognitive/laboratory behavioral science, contemporary HCI practice has been additionally enriched by a diverse array of disciplinary ways of knowing, from qualitative social science to product design to network analysis. Recently, we have seen an upswell in interest in the arts, which offers new opportunities for conceiving of and designing for interaction, but simultaneously provides challenges for our traditional conceptualizations of what it means to do and to know in HCI. Given that intellectual issues in the contemporary arts are relatively unknown in our field, the status of arts-based work as research can be unclear to HCI researchers. When work in the field is labelled "artsy," this can often imply that it is pretty but not practical, creative but not generalizable, provocative but not a fundamental knowledge contribution, interesting but not valid until recast as science. The result is a missed opportunity, a marginalization of the insights the arts could offer us. In this talk, I will explore what it might mean to take the arts seriously as a way of knowing and as an intellectual resource for HCI practictioners. I will describe a design experiment through which my group realized both the value of an aesthetic approach to affective computing and the deep-seated consequences of an aesthetic orientation for design and evaluation. I will argue that the arts provide a unique lens into design for the political, social, and personal dimensions of computing. Through analyses my group has conducted of the uptake of cultural probes and Situationism in HCI, I will explore the challenges and opportunities that the arts offer HCI. Bio: Phoebe Sengers is an assistant professor in Information Science and Science & Technology Studies at Cornell, where she leads the Culturally Embedded Computing group. She works at the intersection of HCI with cultural studies of technology, developing applications that respond to and encourage critical reflection on the place of technology in culture. She uses insights from cultural analysis of IT to identify and rethink the assumptions underlying technologies, to build systems to support critical reflection on emotional and social experiences, and to develop new techniques for designing systems, including the use of self-experiment in design and new forms of evaluation for open-ended systems. Before coming to Cornell, she worked as a research scientist in the Media Arts Research Studies group at the German National Computer Science Research Center (GMD) and was a Fulbright Scholar at the Center for Art and Media Technology (ZKM) in Karlsruhe, Germany. In August 1998, she graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a self-defined interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence and Cultural Theory. Lunch will be rolled sandwiches (hovan-style) from St Charles Deli. Lunch wil be ready by 11:30; the talk begins at 12:00. Thank you.

Hey girls! Please help out mine and Michelle's User Interface Design (CS3750) project group by taking our survey! Our my team is cooking up a device that is designed to help manage kitchen inventory and make preparing food in your kitchen easier and more enjoyable. Our product would keep track of all the items in your food cabinets and fridge and alert you when items run low. It would have the capability to create grocery lists based upon this information, as well as based upon meal plans created by you or through the help of its built-in cookbook. This device aims at making kitchen life easier for you! In order to create a user-friendly and efficient product, we need to gather some data on how people currently manage their kitchens. We would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes out of your busy schedule to complete a quick, 2 page survey regarding your shopping, cooking, and kitchen habits. Here is a link to the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=899333914119 Thanks so much for your participation! Thanks, Amanda + Michelle --

[UWAB] THE PLAN - PLEASE READ!
by Jordan Garner 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hello ladies!!! Please stop by anytime tomorrow you can to help set up stuff. Even if it is 15 minutes here or there, it will be a great help! Here are the time slots everything will be happening tomorrow: 10:00 - 12:00 -> Finish decorating the binary bridge and 3rd floor commons. We got a good chunk of it done tonight, but the rest of the decorations that need to go up on walls and stuff are in the cardboard box on the cart in Vickie's office. Balloons also need to be blown up using the helium tank in the mail room, tied with knots to keep the air in, and put up around the Coc, Klaus, and the binary bridge. 12:00 - 3:00 -> Set up tables, decorate tables, and set up games. Remember, on the binary bridge will be the sign-in table, the DJ table, as well as all the tables for blackjack, roulette, and craps. In the area where the elevators are, there will be the table where you trade in your chips for tickets as well as the UCouncil table. In the 3rd floor commons, there will be the area for Texas Hold Em, closer to the railing, the food/soda area, where the couches are right now so the line can have stretch room, and the prizes table. In the little conference room off of the commons, we will have the cut-outs to take pictures with. All the tables will need table clothes, signs, and anything else necessary for them to do their function. All of these things are also in Vickie's office. Also, do any final balloons and set up the balloon archway. 3:00 - 4:30 -> Do final stuff! Make sure every table has everything it needs. Make sure we have all the rules ready for the games and the schedules printed out for who is working where. Re-tape anything that has fallen down. Show up in your black or denim bottom and get your T-shirt to where. Bring cameras! Everyone gets their assignments for where to work during the event. Assist the DJ, who should be coming at 4:00, with setting up his equipment. Help Giselle and Alicia to not stress out. 4:30 - 7:30 -> ENJOY!!! It is going to be so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see you there! xoxoxoxo, Jordan -- Jordan Garner Optimus Solutions jordang(a)gatech.edu jgarner(a)optimussolutions.com (443)280-3164

With media computation we teach computing concepts by writing programs that manipulate media such as negating an image and reversing a sound. We also run summer camps for middle and high school students. We use PicoCricket kits which are arts and crafts kits for the digital age. With the Cricket kits kids can create a musical pickle or a stuffed animal that can react to petting. We use Scratch which is free software from MIT that can be used to create 2D animations and games. We use LEGO Mindstorms NXT robots and have kids build robots and program them for several different tasks. We also use Alice and Media Computation. We will have 2 information meetings this week. One on Wed April 11th and one on Thurs April 12 both from 3pm - 4pm. These will be in room 109 of the College of Computing building. If you are interested but can't make either meeting contact Felicia Auzla fauzla(a)cc.gatech.edu. Thank You, Barb Ericson Director, CS Outreach College of Computing Georgia Tech ----- End forwarded message -----

[UWAB] CoCaesar's Idea
by Laura Parker 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

So, since the Klaus building doesn't want us to enjoy their atrium, I had another brilliant idea... let's have CoCaessar's on the binary walkway, with the tables all in a row along the way and ballons everywhere, it's outside, there's a roof, there's ones and zeros all around, it's cozy yet roomy... all around a good solution.

Girls, I hope several can participate in this service event. It's a great way to get involved and to build relationships with the women in our group and others in the College of Computing. ACM and M@CC are both participating in this event. Please let Jam know if you're interested by emailing your name, email, and phone number to jam(a)gatech.edu. Jennifer -- Jennifer Whitlow Computational Media Georgia Institute of Technology gtg160x(a)mail.gatech.edu * 7th Annual Technology Service Day <http://www.handsonatlanta.org/specialevents/viewSpecialEvent.php?_mode= eventDetail&_action=eventDetail&ixSpecialEvent=703> : A one time event on Saturday March 10th sponsored by IBM and Deloitte. The networking portion starts at 7:30am at the Hands on Atlanta Headquarters and includes continental breakfast and talks by representatives from both Deloitte and IBM. After the networking portion we break into groups and do the community service from 9am-1pm. I believe the early morning portion is an option but it'd be a good networking opportunity (hopefully) . Below is a more detailed breakdown of the schedule: * 7:30am-8:30am: networking breakfast with speakers from Deloitte and IBM * 9am-1pm: service projects at nonprofits and schools throughout metro Atlanta If the women are interested please have them email me at jam(a)gatech.edu by Thursday March 1st at 9pm EST with their name, email address, and phone number. I will be registering everyone interested as a group so that we will be working on the same projects during the day. That will give us a chance to socialize among the groups.
