UB calls it 'quits'

Katie Johnson, a freshman occupational therapy major, had her first cigarette at the age of 13.

"Not just a gamer, but an artist"

While sitting in the peaceful atrium in UB's Center For the Arts, few would expect to hear casual chatter about drag queens and fake mothers - especially from the mild-mannered Sean Feiner. Feiner is a teaching assistant who co-teaches Gaming, Gender and Society in UB's Department of Media Study (DMS). The class focuses on social implications behind common video games and gender roles within them.
