Holiday Social/Pick names for Adopt-A-Family in Brackett 414

Every year we give back to our community by getting Christmas gifts for children in less fortunate homes. Please come celebrate the holidays and spread the holiday cheer! You may pick a family from our list, then later go out to purchase a gift or two from their child’s wishlist. We will have breakfast food and drinks available at the event.

See you there!

Usability Night Thursday November 3

November 1, 2016

For the past few years, CUHFES has hosted a “Usability Night” where chapter members meet to tackle a small-scale usability project or activity as a team. This year, we’ve scheduled Usability Night for Thursday, 11/3, at 5:00pm-7:00pm in Brackett Hall, room 419. Stop by to get free pizza and hands-on experience user testing our BodyTherapyInc.com redesign!

We’d like to benchmark the existing BodyTherapy site as well as user test the new prototype’s organization, content, and aesthetic. If you don’t have experience with usability testing, don’t worry! We’ll guide you toward another notch for your CV (i.e., ‘conducted user testing for BodyTherapy Inc. website redesign’). We could use folks to run the testing, to participate, or to do both!

During this event, you can get together with your group for each of the Chegg projects. If you’ve signed up for any of these projects, mark your calendars!
