ASEE Annual Conference 2024!

ASEE 2024 was my first education-focused conference and, wow, what a group of the most compassionate, insightful, and fun people! Clemson having such a presence was a super cool experience that I wish could happen at every conference.

Having dedicated poster sessions really made a difference from other conferences that I have been to. Almost two hours of feedback, insight, and discussion with others interested in your work is not only motivational but, I think, better than any 5 minutes of questioning at the end of a presentation. Check out my poster on viewer and streamer interactions, as well as the full paper here, and if you want to check out Makayla Moster and I’s joint paper on first generation women in graduate computing degrees.

Outside of the conference, Portland was a wonderful and weird city with so much public transport, the best donuts (mochi donuts, ftw), brews, food, and weather that I could have asked for. Running from the conference to Powells or to get in line at Voodoo couldn’t be beaten, and neither could going to the flagship restaurant for a cookbook that I own, Kyatcha! I could also have spent three whole days in the botanical gardens.
