"We all make choices, but... In the end our choices make us." – Andrew Ryan, a character from Bioshock.
If you love sports, politics, or Jesus, then there's probably a club for you on campus. Heck, there might even be a few. We founded Argo Gaming, because there was nothing like that for us. An issue with gaming communities is that they are often purely online – rarely will you have friends to game with beyond your personal friends. So we wanted to build a physical, real, tangible community where people who love games can have fun together.

Membership Benefits
Those who join our club can expect to find friends, fun, and a fantastic receptacle for your passion. You'll find plenty of chances to stray outside of your comfort zone in a supportive environment, and try new games that you might not have ever touched otherwise. You can even put yourself to work, if that's more your thing. You can help with event set-up, event coordination, social media management, and even run for a position on the executive board if you so wish. All of this can provide you with a sense of satisfaction, as well as opportunities to develop your skills in these areas.

Mission
UWF's AIS chapter was created to build a lasting connection between Management Information System students and business professionals. In earlier UWF years, ACM (The Association for Computing and Machinery) was the founding organization for the MIS degree field. In the Spring of 2010, UWF students voted that the ACM organization should be converted to the newer AIS (The Association for Information Systems) organization. Primary reasons for this transformation include the one-time opportunity of being a charter AIS chapter, the organization's more in-line focus towards MIS students, and the numerous advances in technology and changes in business attitudes at UWF and the global community. Currently, the local UWF AIS chapter boasts numerous achievements and other recognition. UWF was one of the founding fathers top 50 charters for the global student organization. Your local AIS chapter is one of the few that is backed by an educational institution that is accredited by AACSB
International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Most importantly, its local community is formed from leading and world recognized UWF alumni. UWF's local Association for Information Systems chapter welcomes all students and professionals to join its community and help build a foundation for future MIS students for years to come!
