Chess is known to stimulate the brain's activity and is often used as physical therapy. The game could also teach students patience and quick thinking skills. Pierce can benefit from this. The school could offer tables and booths around campus where students could play and enjoy time. There could be sanitizing stations so people can clean the boards and pieces.

College goes one step further and separates their many events into Important Academic Dates, Campus Life or Public Events. Trade Tech also has separate Student and Public Event calendars.

Harbor College has a Google Calendar on its homepage that can be viewed by day, week or month.

It would be a great welcome back for students and faculty who have been at home due to COVID. There could also be people who know the game to offer classes on how to play. Pierce could start a chess club to engage more of the college’s community. This initiative could lead to more clubs and other games including checkers and dominoes getting exposure.

Chess on campus could encourage more in-person social interaction away from social media.

it can accomplish this, as the Transfer Center calendar is comprehensive and straightforward. Like many things on the school’s website, it’s difficult to find or access. While Pierce is waiting for the new website update, this change can be made now.
