WPI hosts a career fair every semester where many WPI students apply for job or internship positions with various companies. However, there is a distinct lack of attending companies that require the skills of Interactive Media and Game Development (IMGD) students. We interviewed IMGD professors, members of the game industry, a variety of company representatives, and went to networking events in order to understand what we could do to bring more IMGD related companies to campus. Our hope is that our efforts will lead to IMGD students having an easier time finding work as well as planting WPI on the local game industry’s radar.
