About this Event
Event Photos

Westminster’s sesquicentennial celebration reaches its pinnacle during Alumni Weekend, presenting an inspiring challenge to envision how humanity will live, work, and learn over the next 150 years. At the heart of this vision is Westminster’s commitment to engaging with and leading the reimagination of higher education to address the complex challenges and opportunities of a global society striving for meaningful, locally-driven transformational change.  

Through the daring and creative lens of game designer and future forecaster Jane McGonigal, this thought-provoking capstone keynote will illustrate how the principles of game design can empower us to solve real-world problems, build resilience, and discover innovative solutions. McGonigal’s forward-thinking approaches will inspire us to embrace change, envision resourceful and impactful outcomes, and reimagine endless possibilities.
