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.

Humanities Symposia sessions are free of charge to Trine students and employees as
well as the community. They begin at 3:30 p.m. in Wells Theater inside Taylor Hall.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure a spot in the theater, which has limited
seating of 75 guests.
Whodunit? It’s a question board game players have asked for decades, and Trine Theatre patrons will have the opportunity to make their own deductions when “Clue” takes the Ryan Concert Hall stage of the T. Furth Center for Performing Arts.
Steuben County community members are invited to join Trine University students and alumni and local businesses for Breaking the Silence Together, the university's inaugural mental health walk, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26.
Andrew Ripp will bring his blend of pop, soul and his own faith journey to the Ryan Concert Hall stage inside Trine University’s T. Furth Center for Performing Arts on Saturday, Nov. 14.
