Student Resources

Student Resources

Welcome, HCI graduate students, to your student resources page! This was designed to centralize and make the information and resources you need to navigate and excel in your HCI graduate degree program easily accessible. I will continue to add information that I believe will be useful or beneficial. Please do not hesitate to send me any recommendations or suggestions you might have. 

I will send pertinent announcements through to your ISU email.

Thank you!
Tiffany Kayser, HCI Graduate Program Coordinator
