One of the many hats I wear is working as a Resident Assistant at New York University. In the past few months, I’ve been pushing the university to accept a videogames floor to their Explorations program. The Explorations program gives students a wide variety of themed living options based on their interest. The programs, which encompass entire themed floors, range from movies to leadership to bohemian lifestyles. It’s a very good program, especially when students get involved.

The good news is that most indications point towards a videogame floor happening. The bad news is that there has been some concern expressed over a lack of “female interest” in the program. I want to prove them wrong.

Here’s what I need you to do: if you happen to know of any women entering New York University and are interested in videogames for the 2005-2006 school year, please tell them about the Explorations program. It’s fun. It’s well funded. And the more diversity you can bring to the floor, the better experience everyone will have. There will be museum trips, conversations with professors, and the works. Almost everyone in the other Explorations programs fall head over heels in love with it.

And the floors for Explorations in my residence hall are by gender, so don’t be concerned you’ll have your privacy violated by us seedy gamer guy types.
