  1. Student Campus Champion Program NitinSukhija PhD Student Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) Mississippi State University

  2. Goal To gather the local HPC needs, articulating these requirements to the Campus champion, catalyzing usage of XSEDE resources by students, researchers and educators to advance scientific discovery in their respective domains. Hence, educating and initiating practice of involvement of XSEDE in all research areas, not limiting XSEDE to only Computer and Computational Scientists.

  3. Motivation • Campus champions who are the only source of local, regional and national HPC and CI at local University/Campus are: • Directors • CIO’s • IT professional Staff • Passionate Faculty members involved in HPC • Campus champions who obtain extremely busy, and challenging job profiles at their local campuses are best at propagating XSEDE, but it is not a one man job. • Not easy to convey the usage of XSEDE to non computer or non-computational researchers.( There is a lot of communication gap as learning curves differ in both areas)

  4. Motivation • Problem: • Students who are forms a majority of actual testers or users of XSEDE remain unaware. • Forced to use Simulators • Spend large amount of time on configuring the test beds, rather than concentrating on actual problem. • There is a requirement for a student body to meet, convey, and easily educate other fellow student members to use XSEDE, helping Campus champions to fulfill their goals.

  5. Student Campus Champion Program Use case • Assisting Campus champion to arrange learning sessions/ workshops to train and support students, researchers, faculty and educators about XSEDE usage. • Start research groups to increase involvement of students from multidisciplinary fields and underrepresented groups. • Have presenters to give talks on success stories which involve XSEDE usage to raise awareness. • Start email-groups, group chats or help-desks which can be volunteered by student campus champions to provide local as well as offline users, software tools, support and recommendations, assisting users to engage XSEDE resources. • Start a Student online forum which can be developed using Web 2.0 that is Wiki for all users in which users can edit or add information regarding usage of XSEDE in different domains anytime via internet.

  6. Student Campus Champion Program Use case • Exploration of new topics can be triggered, and students can get assistance from more mentors, which will lead to valuable contribution to campus bridging program of XSEDE. • Collaborative research potential can be maximized by including faculty, staff and students from diverse environments , fostering increased use of XSEDE, and resulting in more journal papers, knowledge and Cooperative research grants. • Conduct activities which may include talent presentations online, and also recreational activities. • Develop webpage for student campus involvement in addition to campus champion webpage, on local campus website which will display all news, events and information pertaining to XSEDE. • Develop a Metric to evaluate the effectiveness of Student champion program
