Ismail Abdelmegied
Ismail Abdelmegied of Livingston Manor is a senior in Game Design and Development with a passion for playing and creating video games.
“My teacher for the Career and Tech Education program for high school showed my class an ad for the college's Esports Program,” he said. “It caused me to look more into the college, and I noticed it has a major for game design, which was a difficult major to find.”
Ismail is a Special Events Programming Chair for the College Activities Board. He has worked with other board members to run the recent Comic-Con event and will also be assisting with the upcoming western-themed Springfest celebration on May 2.
“Taking a look at what I made now compared to what I made weeks, months, or even years ago made me appreciate how much I've grown,” he said. “You may make something you don't like the result of, but making mistakes helps you grow and improve your work."
Ismail plans to apply for a character design position in the game industry after he graduates.
