At 1:00 p.m., Sawyer will present,”Better is Not Enough,” followed by a Q&A. In his presentation, Sawyer will discuss allyship in game development and community, as well as working in the games industry.

At 2:30, a panel featuring guest game design and programming students from Columbia College in Chicago along with Lawrence’s Professor Dan Proctor and current Lawrence students, will discuss various aspects of gender and identity in games and the gaming community.
