Current Opportunities

Is this a class or a job?!

Technically, echoes is a class. More specifically, echoes is a credit-bearing faculty-led, student-run project that leverages the Vertically Integrated Projects’ model where students:
  • Must apply & be offered a position
  • Are enrolled for 1-3 credits
  • Can participate over multiple semesters, rising to senior & leadership roles
  • Work on interdisciplinary projects with students of all year levels
  • GCIS-410 & GCIS-610 count as advanced electives for NMID & GDD students.

What will YOU do?

  • Design & develop games inspired by local community members & their work.
  • Learn about the production and technical infrastructure required to support revolving cross-functional teams.

The 2026-27 academic year will focus on production, marketing, and release of the Resonant Voices games on this website & at Imagine 2027. Students of ALL year levels are encouraged to apply!
