Gaming Club is looking for an advisor

Hi! The Albion College Gaming Club is looking for an advisor in order to register. We will be meeting once a week, and it’s a very low maintenance club, and the advisor is not required to attend club meetings. We are interested in all types of games, but due to hardware limitations we are mostly confined to tabletop gaming. We have access to all sort of tabletops board games, and will run a gaming campaign every other week. All are welcome!
