First Year Experience, in conjunction with the Interface Lecture Series and the Center for Applied Gaming and Media Arts presents its Fall Speaker: Ian Schreiber of Global Game Jam on Friday, October 5 at 11am in the Student Center Theater. Come hear Ian speak, stay for the Q&A, and bring (or buy) his book for the book signing.
We call this event Convocation, but instead of asking Faculty to wear robes, First Year students are being encouraged to wear the T-Shirt they received at Journey Orientation. The color of the shirt indicates in which academic school is their major.
As a motivator, the school with the highest level of participation wins a pizza party and bragging rights until the Spring Lecture!
So, everyone come to the lecture, and wear your Journey T-shirt. Your school can win a pizza party! If you have any questions, please contact me ([email protected]).
