Community Engagement
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT & ACADEMIC SERVICE
Highlights:
Created regular virtual social hours at the start of my PhD in 2020 to foster a sense of inclusive community building.
Graduate Student Organization elected representative in 2021-2022; created the role of Co-Director of Events to increase community building efforts and resurrect the GSO via a discord channel and collaboration with other elected representatives.
Heavy involvement and effort in organizing conferences, especially the Anticipation Conference in-step with the Chair and redesign of website, and book of abstracts, and managing scientific committee and peer-review process design, EasyChair management, maintenance, and set up along with attending weekly and bi-weekly meetings, and social media set up and content creation for both website and twitter. Reflective of commitment to community service.
Attended every meeting in all of the community-oriented commitments, with genuine interest and active efforts and results in inclusive community-building and supports for student success and benefit, while completing my PhD obligations and coursework full-time and belonging to the NSF in Citizen-Centered Smart Cities and Smart Living and HASTAC scholars communities.
Also attended reading group in Data & Society, was elected as the Graduate Student representative on a junior search committee, and a participant in the Cambridge University workshop on Histories of AI: Genealogy of Power, NRT student council representative, and volunteered at conferences.
