<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The proposal deadline for the SIGDOC Student Research Competition has been extended to May 7.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Design of Communication (SIGDOC) invites current undergraduate and graduate students to submit proposals for this year’s ACM Student Research Competition (SRC) sponsored
by Microsoft. The SRC offers a unique forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their original research at a well-known ACM-sponsored conference before a panel of judges and attendees. Participants also have the option of preparing an Extended
Abstract to be published in the conference proceedings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students should submit proposals to the SRC coordinator, Dr. Sonia Stephens at
<a href="mailto:sonia.stephens@ucf.edu">sonia.stephens@ucf.edu</a>. Proposals can be up to 800 words long and should address topics related to the design of communication (a list of example topics is included in the full CFP). Up to 15 undergraduate and 15
graduate students will be selected to enter the SRC. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year’s conference is a hybrid online event with local meeting hubs. The SRC will include a first round asynchronous e-poster session on October 12-13 and a live online second presentation round on October 14.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students in the SRC will be reimbursed for conference registration fees, but are responsible for SIGDOC membership, which begins at $19 per year. There are also monetary awards for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place winners.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For more information, please review the full <a href="https://sigdoc.acm.org/conference/2021/student-research-competition/">
