The Gaming Pit
Tue, 10/23/2007 - 13:21 — Brett Bixler
Check out this video about a gaming lab at Northern Virginia Community College. John Min, Dean of Business Technologies, started the lab because IT emrollment was falling, and he saw how motivated students are to engage in these games and with each other.
We're wrestling with what the Educational Gaming Commons Lab should be at this moment, so this video was a welcome view!
After you watch it, if you have any ideas for a lab at Penn State, please let us know!

Hub Late Night
This would be a good idea for the Hub, especially "Hub Late Night", which gives students non-drinking alternatives for weekend activities. What do you think?
