Irvine resident finds passion for game design through IVC’s Interactive Media Arts program
William Tate was studying mechanical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, when he realized his passion for the profession was quickly waning and he opted to return to his hometown of Irvine.
It turned out to be a great move. Tate, who enrolled at Irvine Valley College for a fresh start in the spring of 2019, earned his associate degree in computer science and a certificate in immersive design/game design this spring.
