The September 2013 issue of Transformations is on Games in Education, and features five great articles on incorporating games into higher education, as well as two interviews: one with Anastasia Salter of the University of Baltimore (and plenary panelist at the CUNY Games Festival on January 17, 2014!), and the other with CUNY Games Network member and City Tech library faculty member Maura Smale.
