Also, the HFES Purdue Student Chapter presented a poster showcasing the breadth of human factors research conducted at Purdue University (presented by IE students: Nade Liang and Maya Luster). Furthermore, the HFES Purdue Chapter won the “2021 Outstanding Student Chapter Gold Award” for chapters that have made significant contributions to the discipline, HFES, their campus, and/or their community within a particular year (chapter co-advisors: Dr. Robert Proctor and Dr. Denny Yu, https://hfespurdue.wordpress.com/). The HFES Purdue Chapter also organized the 11th Annual Purdue Dinner during the conference, a chapter tradition aimed to help Purdue University alumni, students, and faculty in human factors stay connected.
