Lane Kuhlman, a first-year graduate student from the Department of Design currently studying at the OSU Advanced Computing Center for the Arts & Design (ACCAD), is one of 10 female students from across the US to be named a Microsoft Research Female Academic All-Star. The scholarship will allow Lane to attend the Serious Games Summit in Washington DC in late October. Awarded to 10 female students, the funding allows them to attend the summit, meet with industry experts to discuss issues facing female game developers and learn about career opportunities.

The All-Stars will also attend more than 60 sessions, lectures and roundtable discussions, learn about key issues in the marketplace, get a sneak peek at upcoming serious games and enjoy networking opportunities. Her travel is supported by ACCAD, and the College of the Arts Diversity Fund.
