| Description | The Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies and Media at Michigan State University has been teaching games for 10 years! The department first began teaching game design classes at MSU in 2000. The game design program has grown from one class to a rich program with offerings for both undergraduate and graduate students. In 2005 they began to offer the Game Design and Development Specialization to undergraduates and in 2007 they started the Serious Game Design track and certificate program for Master of Arts students. In 2008, they began to offer summer camps for high school and middle school students in game design. Game alumni have gone on to start their own game companies and work in the game industry, as well other technology fields.
To celebrate this occasion, MSU is hosting this happy hour for alumni of the program and Meaningful Play attendees. Wind down from the day with a refreshing beverage and tasty appetizers as you socialize with your fellow Meaningful Play attendees. This informal gathering takes place at Harpers Restaurant and Brew Pub located at 131 Albert Ave., just one block from the MSU Union, near the East Lansing Marriott. NOTE: Bring your conference badge for a free drink ticket. |
