[SIGCIS-Members] UVa Human Computer Project

[Hicks, Mar (avg5bd)]

Thanks for the boost, Jonathan! Although the project will start at UVA, and be only for UVA students for at least the first year, the hope is to expand it to other universities in the future--so folks who are interested in that should feel free to reach out.

Best,

Mar
