- Alex Leonhart, Director of Aesthetic Technologies and Chair of LiveX, will present at the NarraScope conference at Drexel University this June. The conference focuses on the topics of ludonarrative game design studies. As Leonhart explains: “…ludo(game)-narrative(story) design is a subsection of game studies that looks at how play and story interrelate. Often, this is looked at from a core mechanics/game systems perspective and if that meshes well with the storytelling. Everything from character capabilities, environmental navigation, and interactive systems and their relationships to the overall and subnarratives. We can use the lenses of mechanics, dynamics, and/or aesthetics when doing a critical analysis of the stories of games.”
- Maria Provencher, Assistant Dean of Career Development & Internships, was part of a special panel, Unlocking Potential: How Interns Drive Success, at the Lancaster City Alliance’s March Merchant Meeting. Along with representatives from Franklin & Marshall College and Millersville University, Provencher spoke about how college interns can help small businesses and non-profits thrive and grow.
