Ask Jon

by Jon Hull

Dear Jon,

I'm a first year HF/E student and I just found out I can't afford to go home during the winter break. I'm stuck in the Bay area and don't have any idea of what to do. Since I won't be in school for 6 weeks, I am going to have a lot of new found free time on my hands. Do you have any suggestions of what to do?

Dear Lonely,
As always, the yahoo group is your friend. Several of your classmates will be here over the break as well, so watch the list for parties. If you don't see anything that you like, then feel free to create your own activity and post it to the list. It doesn't have to be human factors related, but that always helps. Want to see the new Bond movie? Why not invite a group to see if he holds his gun ergonomically? Does he have a neutral wrist position while snapping the bad guy's neck? Hmm... maybe that is why they switch Bond actors so often.
Thanks,
Jon
Dear Jon,
Is it too late to join a committee?

Dear Helpful,
It is never too late to lend a hand! Just contact the head of the committee you wish to join. May I recommend the newsletter committee? Just send me an email at jhull (at) gbis.com
Thanks,
Jon
