As part of World Usability Day (WUD) celebrations on November 12, the Information Architecture and Knowledge Management Program (IAKM) at Kent State University will present three speakers who will discuss sustainability issues relating to Kent State such as the redesign of the university web site, http://www.kent.edu. Panelists will include: Melanie Knowles, Kent State's new sustainability manager, who will speak about the various ways sustainability can be manifested and used in an organization; Sameer Jaleel, Kent State manager of applications development, who will talk about the recent Kent.edu redesign from the user experience design perspective and how it relates to sustainability; and Matt Pahls, Kent State senior applications developer, who will speak of the integration of the variety of products for seamless use for students.
The panel discussion is from 1:30-3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 12 in Rm. 332 of the Kent State Library. The conversation will also be streamed live on event day at http://bit.ly/19Cqfz.  For more information on this event, visit the IAKM WUD Web site at http://bit.ly/31ZNOL.
WUD was founded in 2005 as an initiative of the Usability Professionals' Association to ensure that services and products important to human life are easier to access and simpler to use. Each year, on the second Thursday of November, groups across 43 countries organize more than 200 events to raise awareness and train professionals in the tools and issues central to good usability research, development and practice.
The IAKM program offers master's degrees and certificates in the areas of user experience design and knowledge management.  For more information about IAKM see the website at http://iakm.kent.edu<http://iakm.kent.edu/>.
