University Relations
Message From the President
Welcome, and thanks for your interest in Blizzard Entertainment's university relations program. Blizzard Entertainment was founded in 1991 by three recent college graduates looking to build a future doing something they were extremely passionate about: making games. Although the company has grown tremendously since then, we've been able to maintain a consistent approach to game development over the years by hiring people who share that passion.
Finding the best person to fill any particular open position at Blizzard Entertainment is always a challenge. Through this program, we'll be collaborating with certain schools to give students more opportunities to learn about the industry and to develop their skills. With luck, this will also give us the opportunity to identify talented new individuals to join our teams.
I hope you'll find the resources here helpful, and I look forward to working with some of you soon.
--Mike Morhaime
