One of my more rewarding college experiences (outside of passing my first Dr. Strong test … seriously … it was euphoric!) was the creation and administration of The University of Texas at Tyler Game Club. Let’s rewind a little with our DeLorian-esque powers and look at how on earth I was able to make a club based around card, paper, and board games. I promise not to re-cast myself as somebody like Jude Law or Ewan McGregor in this flashback.
When I first arrived at the campus I had come from three other universities, one of them a BIG campus in a major Texas city, and the other a film school. These college experiences were good or having taught me the inner workings of a trade-style university, and a university where the campus was so big you’d never see all of it, but this one was different. The University of Texas at Tyler was small enough to give me more interaction with people on a social level, as opposed to simply hobnobbing about with people before class only to see them all rush off once the TA was done teaching class, the style of interaction I was used to from “the bigger university”.
