[[Randal Bryant]], Dean of Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science, commented on her appointment to the directorship of the Human Computer Interaction Institute that she would "expand the horizons of the institute."<ref name="PBT"/> The Institute studies how people communicate with and through technology.<ref>[http://www.articulab.justinecassell.com/ Carnegie Mellon's Human Computer Interaction Institute "Articulab" home page].</ref>
