games-related research that students from multiple disciplines conduct here. <span style="color:black;background:white">
We'll be showcasing some of the GI research projects and playtesting some recently developed games, and, if you wish, you can play some favourite video and board games while enjoying refreshments (and yes, there will be cake).</span> Beginning at 4:00pm, we’ll
have opening remarks from Dr. Charmaine Dean, VPUR and Douglas Peers, Dean of Arts.
