The Guildhall at Southern Methodist University (SMU) has partnered with WomenGamers to “present the first-ever women’s-only, industry-funded scholarship to attend SMU’s one-of-a-kind digital games education program in Dallas, Texas.”
The Guildhall at SMU Executive Director, Peter Raad, commented, “Game development studios and publishers must learn to capitalize more effectively on the increasing numbers of women playing games. We believe the most important step toward achieving that goal is for game developers’ staffing choices to be reflective of the growing market of female gamers.”
