Harvard Interactive Media Group

Harvard Interactive Media Group

The "Harvard Interactive Media Group" is an undergraduate student club at Harvard College dedicated to the promotion of interactive media studies, the academic analysis of video games and other new media. The group, founded in 2006, acts as an umbrella group for various projects around the Harvard campus and in the greater Boston area.

Projects

HIMG's most visible on-campus events have been the Multiplay gatherings, an ongoing series of gaming tournaments at Harvard. The first tournament, hosted at Lamont Library in March 2007, attracted over 175 students from all over Boston and Cambridge, including MIT, Boston University and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as well as, of course, many Harvard students.

The group has also announced the Harvard Interactive Media Review, a quarterly publication which will feature content from media studies professors, game designers, students, and others, and the Colloquium project, a series of speaking engagements and conferences featuring guest speakers and workshops. Both have been announced for April 2007.

Other projects include a group specifically devoted to student game design and development, as well as the establishment of a permanent gaming space at Harvard.
