The game industry is growing in Columbus, and Columbus State Community College is right in the middle of that growth. 

Adjunct instructor Chris Volpe and assistant professor Henry Bawden appeared on WOSU’s All Sides Considered Tech Tuesday to speak the growth of the industry and Columbus State’s video game programs (Bawden is the Lead Instructor for the Interactive Media department’s Video Game Art and Animation program). 

Volpe and Bawden also contributed to an article in the September issue of Columbus CEO magazine examining the many initiatives to develop the game industry locally. Read the full article. 

Columbus State and its students are a vital part of the game industry here in Central Ohio. From September 29through October 1, GDEX (Game Developer Expo) will take place in Columbus. It’s the largest expo of its kind in the Midwest, and many Columbus State students are volunteers and exhibitors. To learn more, please check out the GDEX website. 

Columbus State teaches game development as part of its Computer Science department.
