In May 2024, a DSI Lab project won the PR Xchange Award Competition for best virtual exhibit. The project applies a digital social science lens to promote holistic health and wellness with inclusive design strategies. The Lab Team included faculty and graduate students with interdisciplinary backgrounds including interactive information retrieval, health/wellness, and professional counseling.
The PR Xchange had a panel of 25 judges with 334 entries for the various categories where submissions were assessed based on the quality of content, format, design, creativity, and originality. The jury included a group of UX and graphic designers, marketing professional, visual arts, and information professionals.
Congratulations to the lab team!
