SHP is Returning in Summer 2025!
SHP is now offering a three-credit honors course called Design, Build, Play (HNRC 281). This course will meet an IUP Crimson Core requirement. This course will also count for three honors credits for students who eventually attend IUP and enroll in the Cook Honors College.
This year’s course is split into two main areas of focus: games and storytelling (known as “ludonarratives”) with Prof. Mike Sell and creative engineering in our STEAMSHOP with Prof. Rick Adkins.
SHP Orientation: June 26 at 4:00 p.m.
Students need to register for orientation. Once registered, look for an email from orientation-testing@iup.edu with a Zoom link for the orientation.
