The SIMULATION & GAMING DEVELOPMENT program at Wilson Community College provides a background in the practical applications of creative arts, visual arts, modeling, design, and programming. Students receive hands-on training in design, 3D modeling, and programming for the purpose of creating simulations and games. Graduates can find job opportunities as designers, artists, animators, testers, and administrators in the entertainment industry, health care, or education.
Marie Deans
In 2005, Marie Deans was laid off from her job at VF Jeanswear. Marie was a supervisor and had worked for the company for thirty one years. Funding from the Federal Trade Adjustment Assistance Act allowed Marie to go back to school. Marie was not sure if she could handle college at her age but decided she would try it. Marie registered in the accounting program at Wilson Community College. In the first couple of weeks Marie thought she had made the wrong decision by going back to college, so she began studying hard because everything seemed like it was more involved than when she was in high school. Her hard work paid off and Marie began making the Dean's List and was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. Marie Deans graduated in May 2008, with a degree in accounting. She still finds it hard to believe that she accomplished something she never thought would happen at her age. Marie has found a job since graduation and has re-entered the workforce. She is especially grateful to her family, friends, and instructors who supported her every step of the way.
