Hello everyone!

We have some great news following our CUHFES student officer election ended last week. Here are the results:

• President: Darlene Edewaard
• Vice President: Dan Quinn
• Secretary: Ellen Szubski
• Treasurer: Katie Lucaites
• Interdepartmental Liaison: Kylie Gomes
• Webmaster: Jackie McSorely
• Social Chair: Amro Khasawneh

Congratulations to all of our new and returning CUHFES officers for the upcoming 2017-2018 academic year! Thank you to all of those who voted in our election, as well.

We are also hosting a movie night this Thursday evening 4/20/2017 7pm – 9pm in Brackett 419! We are going to pick a movie out as a group when the event starts. Food and drinks will be provided.

We recently asked our members what kind of gift they would like to receive for their year-end, members-only CUHFES gift. Thanks to your voting, we have decided to order custom water bottles for everyone! You may pick up your Clemson HFES water bottle at the movie night this Thursday, if you are able to attend. If you cannot attend please let us know (hfes@g.clemson.edu) and we’ll find another time to get your gift to you!

As a bonus: CUHFES recently went to Rainbow Falls for a group hike, and we had a great time. Check out our photos from the trip in our media section and videos recorded by a drone below!

Hi everyone!

We have a new guest speaker and Adopt-A-Family events tomorrow!

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.

Guest Speaker at the Human Factors Discussion Group in Brackett 419

We will have a guest speaker (a former Clemson graduate student) talking with us remotely over Skype. Our guest speaker will be Linnea Hagen from Amazon. She will talk to us about her work as a Senior User Researcher.

See you there!

Hey Tigers, are you ready for some football?!?
The CUHFES tailgate is coming up this Saturday, and we are excited to share the details. We will be meeting up on the patio between Brackett and Hardin Hall at 8:00 am! (See the map below, click the image to expand it)

An early game calls for an early tailgate, so we will be providing breakfast biscuits and coffee! Feel free to bring anything else you’d like to eat or drink.

Please RSVP for the tailgate (https://goo.gl/forms/wzg9b5tmfB6KeWV63), so that we can know how much food and drinks to provide!
Bring a chair and your Clemson spirit as we prepare to watch the Tigers take on the Wolfpack for Homecoming weekend!

See you all on Saturday, and Go Tigers!

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.

From grad student to young professional, how to make the transition with calmness of purpose.

Dr. Eric Muth will be leading a discussion on the ins and outs of careers after grad school this FRIDAY April 8th, 2016. Please join us at 2pm in Brackett Hall Rm 419. Eric will be answering any questions and giving tips and tricks for navigating the unknown after our grad school lives at Clemson. This will largely be a question and answer session, but the focus will be on visioning your future, writing a personal vision statement, setting goals, and finding your professional path in life.

On Saturday March 2, 2016 all willing, able, and semi-rugged members of CU-HFES hiked down from the highest point in South Carolina. The hike started at the top of Sassafras Mountain and included a total of 5 miles of the 77-mile Foothills Trail that runs through the mountains along the SC-NC border. We descended approximately 2000 feet.
