From tabletop and roleplaying to computer games and sports, gaming in all forms has long been a favorite pastime for Dr. Eric Stoerm Anderson. It’s more than just a hobby, though. It’s also what led him to pursue a career in nursing and later academia, where he now weaves gaming into his teaching.
“I’ve always kind of seen the world through a gaming lens,” said Anderson, associate teaching professor in the University of Washington Bothell’s School of Nursing & Health Studies. “I recognized the inherent gameyness in the world and that life in general is a sort of game. There are rules, and if you can cleverly use those rules to your benefit, you can do well.”
In his latest course, Anderson explored the utility of games in mental health, education, leadership and professional practice.

Whether you ran, walked, rolled, volunteered, sponsored or cheered from the sidelines, you helped create something special at UW Bothell this past Saturday. A record number of participants — more than 1,000 alumni, students, families, neighbors and friends — all showed up for UW Bothell students.
This event has always been about more than the finish line. Together, we raised more than $15,000 in support of UW Bothell student scholarships. That means more access, more opportunity and more students can keep going to complete their degree.
Thank you for showing up. Thank you for being part of a caring UW Bothell community. And thank you for supporting UW Bothell students!
