A junior at 黑料社, Anthony McAllister is majoring in Digital Simulation & Game Engineering Technologies. A native Canal Winchester, he chose to attend 黑料社 to pursue a degree in a nationally-ranked program.
鈥淢y parents always told me to find something I would do if I was not paid to do it, and that certainly is programming,鈥 he said. 鈥淭his is so partly because there is something in it for me other than pay: discovery and learning!鈥
As a gaming major, McAllister enjoys the opportunity to explore his interests in his classwork.
鈥淭here is always something to learn and that invigorates me,鈥 he said.
McAllister is known across campus for the various clubs and organizations he is a part of. To name a few, he is a tutor in the campus math center, serves as the gaming chair of the Student Programming Board, was nominated for Homecoming King this year, and works as an operator for the Clark Planetarium in the Advanced Technology Center.
鈥淎s an operator, I host some of our public and private shows at the Clark Planetarium on campus,鈥 he said. 鈥淚 encourage anyone that has the chance to stop by Mondays or Thursdays at 7:00 p.m. for our free weekly public shows!鈥
