Hi Society of Women Engineers!

I’m a student at Vassar College interning for the*gameHERs this summer. The*gameHERS is an inclusive community that connects women, non-binary individuals, and other marginalized genders who play video games. I’m reaching out to see if your members would like to be added to our database for possible career opportunities and/or internships.

  *   The primarily male-run gaming industry tends to hire men, even though other genders make up nearly half of all gamers. Therefore, women and gender minorities are underrepresented in games, and may feel left out of gaming communities.
  *   Many game companies want to hire more women so that they can appeal to a broader, more inclusive audience. So, the*gameHERS is working with large, mid and small gaming companies to create a professional networking database of talented women and gender minorities in STEM who would be interested in entering the gaming industry.
  *   Game companies will look to this database to hire more diverse employees.

If your members are interested in being listed in our networking database for future job opportunities and/or internships, please have them enter their email here<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthegamehers.com%2Fcollegestudents&data=02%7C01%7Ccmoreira%40stevens.edu%7C8c2e4e0140c14d1988bf08d821dca54e%7C8d1a69ec03b54345ae21dad112f5fb4f%7C0%7C1%7C637296578906315810&sdata=7Wsp6LYTeOuuFxolveYHNSxuHHnlGDBXazR3AIxO7gg%3D&reserved=0> . Keep in mind that you don’t have to play video games to get a job in the industry! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you so much,

Alex Tansey (She/her/hers)
