    How are Students Using Generative AI at the Colorado School of Mines? And What is Mines Doing about it? In May 2023, I led a research team including about a dozen students, along with several professors and administrators from across campus to launch a survey of all students at the Colorado School of Mines. The goal was to understand how Generative AI had been adopted across engineering education. The survey was taken by over 600 students--a representative sample of… http://estellesmithphd.com...

    Hey #CSCW attendees! I&amp;#39;m a Community Co-Chair for #CSCW2025. This year, we&amp;#39;re hoping to help folks coordinate things like: hotel roommates, ride shares to/from the airport, and fun travel activities in Norway before/after the conference. Your input will be helpful for us to time this well. Given that the conference is Oct. 18-22, around what time would you estimate that you&amp;#39;ll be booking your travel arrangements? (Blog post coming early this summer!)

    Our panel on Tuesday afternoon is the single event I am *most excited about* at #CSCW2024. Our community dearly needs to balance AI hype against thoughtful opportunities to integrate #AI into mental &amp;amp; spiritual healthcare. Add it to your schedule! Panelists include Munmun De Choudhury, Diana Freed, Rev. George Handzo (a preeminent spiritual care expert with 150+ papers), and myself, moderated by Jingjin Li. https://programs.sigchi.org/cscw/2024/program/content/179230

    Observation for #HCI / #CSCW: Rather than submitting to specific conferences, I should encourage the international students in my lab to submit to #TOCHI (etc.) so that they can *choose* any ACM presentation venue that works, even if it takes much longer to be accepted. 🤔💭💡
