UW President Attends dub Retreat, Notes Importance
Over 100 UW faculty, students, and industrial collaborators came out for the 4th annual dub retreat at the Waterfront Activities Center (WAC) today. The meeting included a celebration of awards, short research talks, and poster sessions. The excitement of the event was bolstered by the attendance of UW President Michael Young. President Young saw talks on topics that included the relevance of dub to Microsoft Research collaborations, the collaborative design with Boeing of concepts for the future flight deck, and World Lab, a new joint institute with Tsinghua University in China to apply human-centered technologies to solving worldwide problems in the areas of environment, health, and education. President Young's extensive remarks concluded “This is something that is really important to the university.”
Jill Palzkill Woelfer named 2012 recipient of the UW Graduate School Medal
iSchool Ph.D. candidate and dub member, Jill Palzkill Woelfer, was named 2012 recipient of the University of Washington Graduate School Medal. This award recognizes Ph.D. students whose "academic expertise and social awareness are integrated in a way that demonstrates an exemplary commitment to the University and its larger community.” One winner is chosen annually. Jill Palzkill Woelfer’s commitment to helping homeless youth and her dissertation research about the use and access to technology by these young people, made her work stand out to the selection committee. She is currently on a Fulbright Student Award in Vancouver, B.C., where her research engages 200 homeless young people and collects data that include factors related to technology use, risk-taking behaviors, mental health, and music preferences.
