Existence of UW-Madison Students
Being a relatively new member to the IGDA (as of 5 days), I have yet to attend a chapter meeting or to meet a fellow member. Just out of curiosity, are there any students of the University of Wisconsin-Madison that are part of this organization? Maybe MATC? If there are, please tell me; I have an interest in discussing gaming with some like-minded humans.
Thanks a lot.
Hey, Aaron,
There is a forum of IGDA students at Herzing in Madison. You can join it at:

ITT here in Green Bay also has an official student chapter of the IGDA. Their forum is at:

ITT is gearing up for their annual game fair in March and the folks on there are very active in helping each other out, so, although they aren't in Madison, I'd encourage you to get with them, too. You'll see some of them at the bi-monthly meetings, as well as some of the Herzing students.
I'm in Green Bay, but hopefully should be at the next IGDA meeting. Hope we see you there!
Shelly

Hey there Andy! I'm in Madison. I was going to school doing online classes with Westwood, but have since left there and am in the process for applying to the Guildhall at SMU (down in Plano, TX). I'm over on the west side, by High Point theaters (and only about 5 minutes from Raven). Hit me up!
