Game Meetup: Wed June 1
Dear colleagues,
I hope you will join us for all or part of an end-of-semester game date hosted by members of the CUNY Games Network at BMCC. We will have a selection of excellent games to play. We will also have informal conversations about the pedagogical uses of games as we play. We hope to make this an end-of-semester tradition, so please come help kick it off! Besides, we know that everyone can use a little game time to blow off steam after the stress of exams and turning in grades.
Here are the details:
What: Game Meet-up
When: Wednesday, June 1, 11-5pm
Where: BMCC Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship (Rm. S501B)
We will have a lunch break during the meet-up to get some local fare (either in-house or from the yummy venders off campus).
If you have a favorite game, please bring it with you. Looking forward to seeing you all on the 1st!
Best Regards,
The CUNY Games Network Steering Committee
