Description
Get ready to play! The Library, in collaboration with UChicago Arts and the Humanities Division, is excited to bring you the Year of Games. Launching in September 2025, the Year of Games will celebrate the joy, creativity, and connections that games bring, and the occasions for scholarly inquiry and career development that they provide. From video games to board games and epic role-playing adventures, the campus will come alive with gaming stations, industry-led career fairs, symposia, play dates, and more. This is your chance to help us level up a year of fun, learning, and discovery!
Donations are applied to...
This Giving Day, your gift to the Year of Games will support programs and resources that celebrate and advance the study of games and gaming. As a pioneer in the fields of game theory and design, UChicago is uniquely positioned to lead critical discussions on the role of games in education, culture, and technology. Donations will help fund symposia, discussions, and access to materials that foster innovation and inquiry, ensuring the Library remains a hub for exploring this dynamic and influential field.
Why are donations necessary?
Donations are essential to make the Year of Games an extraordinary experience for everyone on campus. Your support ensures we have the resources to host exciting events, showcase interactive exhibits, and bring industry leaders to campus for career fairs and symposia. Without your contributions, many of these opportunities to explore the intersection of games, learning, and community would not be possible. Together, we can make this celebration of play and discovery truly unforgettable.
