Two faculty members in Trine University’s Department of Humanities and Communication
will discuss how board and video games can be used to examine the humanities during
a Humanities Symposia on Thursday, April 2.
Scott Chappuis, Ph.D., and Joanna Claudy, both assistant professors, will speak on
“Looking at the Humanities through the Lens of Board and Video Games.”
They will share examples and experiences from their classes and their own lives. Attendees
will be encouraged to ask questions and provide their own experiences.
Originally created as a platform for artists and scholars to showcase their research
outside of conferences, the Humanities Symposia has developed into a series of presentations
with diverse speakers, covering a wide array of topics applicable to humanities.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot in the theater, which has limited
seating of 75 guests.
As we celebrate National Nurses Week, the nursing workforce is under pressure across the country. Staff shortages, high patient acuity and increasing complexity of care delivery are besetting our healthcare systems. Nursing education programs are being asked to provide graduates who will step directly into practice - faster, more efficiently and with the ability to cope at an increasingly fast pace with changing environments.
Mitch Daniels, former governor of the state of Indiana and former president of Purdue University, shared advice with graduates he said were entering a world he described as “the most promising and most uncertain and treacherous” as Trine University held Commencement ceremonies on May 2.
