But unlike most awards, DCS is not restricted in the number of candidates whom we can put forward.* -- :::: Graeme Hirst • Professor and Associate Chair, Graduate Studies :::: University of Toronto • Department of Computer Science Begin forwarded message: *From: *SGS Dean <sgs.dean(a)utoronto.ca> *Subject: **Introducing the Connaught PhDs for Public Impact Fellowship Program* *Date: *3 February 2022 at 02:27:05 +1100 I am delighted to announce that the School of Graduate Studies has launched the Connaught* PhDs for Public Impact *Fellowship Program <https://www.cgpd.utoronto.ca/public-scholarship/connaught/> as part of the core offerings of the Centre for Graduate Professional Development <https://www.cgpd.utoronto.ca/>. This program aims to support collaboration and communication across graduate students, academic disciplines, institutions, organizations, and communities to further research, scholarship, and creative practice for the public good. Please encourage your research-stream doctoral students to consider applying for this opportunity. Some of you may know that public scholarship – encouraging students to take their research beyond the lab, the library, or the conference – has been a strategic priority for us at SGS for several years. The *Connaught PhDs for Public Impact Fellowship Program* is an exciting realization of that vision. It would not have been possible without the work of Professor Gretchen Kerr, our former Vice-Dean, Programs and Innovation (now the Dean of the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education), who set the idea in motion, and the leadership of Professor Vina Goghari, our new Vice-Dean, Research and Program Innovation, in whose capable hands the program has blossomed into its current form. Fellows from *PhDs for Public Impact* will focus on engaging the public through a scholarly agenda. This could involve a range of activities, from describing their work in a public forum (e.g., in a tweet, a personal blog post, a podcast interview, or an op-ed) to partnering with a school, community organization, or cultural institution (e.g., museum, theatre, archive) in an ongoing two-way exchange of knowledge and practices. Fifteen fellows will be chosen every year. Each fellow will be awarded $12,500: a $10,000 fellowship to be used as a top-up to their stipend for the year and $2,500 towards research expenses, including professional development to be used during their degree. Applicants must be doctoral students in a research-stream program, registered with good academic standing. The deadline for applications is *April 1, 2022*. The program will begin on *September 1, 2022*. SGS will offer two virtual information sessions for those interested on the following dates: · Thursday, February 24, 2022, from 12 noon to 1 pm · Wednesday, March 2, from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. We ask that interested parties please register in advance <https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=JsKqeAMvTUuQN7RtVsVSEJR…> for these Zoom sessions so we can share details closer to the date. In the meantime, graduate students can also visit theCentre for Graduate Professional Development website <https://www.cgpd.utoronto.ca/public-scholarship/connaught/> to learn more about the application process and the materials required. Sincerely, Joshua Barker, PhD Dean, School of Graduate Studies and Vice-Provost, Graduate Research and Education

HCI Meeting Feb 3: Internships cont. with Professor Paul Dietz
by Blaine Lewis 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Hi Everyone! This week (tomorrow) at our HCI meeting we have a special guest to continue our conversation from last week on internships, Professor Paul Dietz! Paul Dietz is currently visiting the University of Toronto as an adjunct professor in DGP. Over his long research career at companies such as Disney, Microsoft and Mitsubishi Electric he has hosted many interns and frequently played a behind-the-scenes role in fostering academic relationships. Paul was once an intern himself (at Texas Instruments and Analog Devices) and is more than happy to share his experiences from both sides. We're super excited to have him, and hopefully everybody comes ready with lots of questions to ask so we can make the most of his time! Best, Blaine
