HCIS celebration event hosted by alumni ambassadors

Posted on

We wish to thank our alumni ambassadors for hosting an HCIS celebration event for students, faculty, staff, friends, and family. Distinguished alumni shared TEDTalk-style presentations relating to their human-centered research and how they are applying it since graduating. Presenters included Drew Dickens DLS ’23, Kevin Dilliard DLS ’22, Malcolm McGuire MADR ‘14, Ann Marie Dell DLS ’23, and Mary Margaret Carrillo DLS ’23 and MLS ‘17. The event also included complimentary HCIS swag and informative graduate program updates. We expect this to be the beginning of wonderful programming the HCIS alumni will be sharing for years to come!
