Hi CUHFES members!

Last week we had a great time at the national HFES conference in Washington, D.C. Students, faculty, and alumni had a chance to catch up and hear about the latest in HF/E research. We also received our chapter’s gold award!

Now that we’re back from D.C. we have some announcements to make.

Happy Hour: Friday 9/30, 4:00pm, at Study Hall

We will have a happy hour this Friday, September 30 at 4pm. We will meet in Study Hall Kitchen & Bar in downtown Clemson. We welcome current members, new members, and anyone considering joining Clemson HFES.

Pay HFES member dues before Friday 9/30 to get an HFES gift

We are still accepting dues for this year. In order to pay dues, you can go to the ‘Become a Member’ page on our website.

Our chapter dinner for alumni, faculty, and students is next week at the HFES conference in Washington D.C., and we have made reservations with a different restaurant. Thank you to those who alerted us to the conflict with the Clemson vs. Georgia Tech football game.

Yesterday, Tuesday September 13th, HFES officers visited Dr. Gil Einstein‘s undergraduate psychology class at Furman University to deliver a guest lecture on Human Factors, its impact on our daily lives, and the research pursuits of our Clemson students and faculty.
