@SukritVt I'm going to try and update this document to make it more generally applicable across our conferences... while keeping it unofficial. Help is welcome! 🙏

@CornellCIS Congratulations, @imadityav! 🥳

Here are the venues in Human Computer Interaction, ranked according to Scholar, with @acm_chi at the top. https://t.co/ObrNCJmf0c

What @plopesresearch said. Regardless of who you voted for, we're here to serve, and we want this to be a better #SIGCHI4all. The survey will take you a minute. Thanks for your time! 🙏

[Pedro Lopes @plopesresearch]

Congrats to the new team leading @sigchi into bright futures, spearheaded by @nehakumar ! Even more important than who you voted on is that they are already at work and soliciting feedback from us, I've filled out the survey (takes 1 min): what changes do you want to see in #HCI?

[Neha Kumar @nehakumar]

This is an invaluable set of reminders! Thank you @NivArora for putting together this list. 🙏🏾

[Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing @ICatGT]

On Saturday, @NivArora became the first @GeorgiaTech alumnus to receive the @TheOfficialACM Doctoral Dissertation Award. An amazing achievement! Nivedita did her master's, Ph.D., and postdoc with us. We couldn't be prouder! #wecandothat 🐝 @gtcomputing

Thank you @sigchi! I'm overjoyed that all members of our current team on the slate of candidates were elected. This team accomplishment speaks to the vision and impact we've been striving towards. No greater reminder that team work truly does make the dream work! ✨

[Neha Kumar @nehakumar]

It has been a tremendous honor and a privilege to serve as @sigchi President over the last three years. It took time, energy, commitment, a whole lot of love (and undoubtedly some tears), to pull us out of the pandemic to the point that we are at today. [1/6]

[Neha Kumar @nehakumar]

Kudos to everyone who had the courage and commitment to run! To those who voted us in, we count on your continued support in coming years. To others in SIGCHI, I hope we can draw on shared goals and commitments to drive the SIG's success. [2/3]

@nargesmahyar @ali_sarvghad @manningcics @hci_vis Congratulations! That's wonderful news!

If you are a @sigchi member, and would like to know where the SIG spends and why, do read this post, long as it admittedly is. And tell us what more you'd like to know! 🙏

So priceless to have been a part of @SachinPendse's PhD journey so full of insightful learning, inspirational commitment, and memorable conversations. You will be missed, Sachin! 🥳

[Sachin Pendse @SachinPendse]

Last week, I had the honor of sharing 5 years of collected research during my (successful!) PhD defense. Next, I'll spend one year as a @cbitshealth postdoc, then begin as an assistant professor at @UCSF_DOCIT in Sept 2025. I am so thankful and excited for what the future holds!

[Neha Kumar @nehakumar]

@daepstein Love the #tenuredturtle :). Congratulations!!!

[Neha Kumar @nehakumar]

to take the SIG forward. And if not, we will absolutely stand in support of the team that does. 🙏

I deliberated a fair bit before deciding to run for re-election. It has taken hard work to introduce structural changes, and I feel driven to institutionalize these changes for the long-term wellbeing of the SIG. SIGCHI is a complex organization and it takes time [4/6]

[Neha Kumar @nehakumar]

(indeed, years) to get past surface level operations to know and understand the changes needed from a systemic perspective. If given the opportunity, @luigidr and I would consider it an honor to leverage the understanding we have gained in recent years [5/6]
