In Anticipation of the Upcoming Solar Eclipse...

We have a new book display in the lobby on the 2nd floor of the Duderstadt Center, which features books on our solar system. Topics include anything from our own sun to colonizing Mars.

Fall Classes Involving Video Games

Still trying to figure out your Fall class schedule? We may not have a fully devoted video games studies program at present, but there are a number of classes available to study video games this Fall. Try one of them to round out your schedule! Use the links below to see a full class description of each class listed here.

Summer-Themed Book Displays at AAEL

We have two new book displays on the 2nd floor of the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library. Together, they represent the theme of Summer vacation with books, videos and graphic novels from our collection.

Reduced Hours for the Summer Term

Summer term has begun, and with it our reduced hours of operation. We'll be open Monday - Friday 1-5pm through August 18th, when the term ends. Then we'll be closed for the intercession, and will reopen with the start of the Fall term. So enjoy the outdoors, and don't forget to play some video games during the afternoon heat while you still can.

PlayStation VR Available in the CVGA

The heat wave we're having outside is the perfect time to hang out in the air-conditioned CVGA to check out the new games that just arrived for the PlayStation VR that we got towards the end of the Winter term.

New Book Displays for May

There are two new book displays on the 2nd floor lobby area of the Duderstadt Center. In anticipation of the Wonder Woman movie coming out on June 2nd, we have a graphic novel display highlighting the history of the character in comics. The other display is entitled "The Art and Science of Sound" and features books discussing the nature of sound, sound studio production, and sound in art.

Popular Games During the Winter Term

Here is our list of most popular games during the Winter term. We had our usual blend of sports games and first person shooters at the top of the list, with a roleplaying game and several games for the Wii & Wii U making an appearance as well. Our PlayStation 4 consoles were popular during the term, but didn't make the list because people tended to try several different games on them rather than focusing on just one, as was the case for the Xbox One.
