GoCrossCampus, created by a team of undergraduate members of the Yale
Entrepreneurial Society (YES), is launching the first alumni game, the
Yale Alumni Tournament, on March 1st at http://yale.gocrosscampus.com.
The game has been phenomenally successful in its private beta launch
to college students at universities across the country, and now we
alums get to play it.
GoCrossCampus is a multiplayer social gaming platform that gives
hundreds or even thousands of Yale alumni throughout the world the
unprecedented opportunity to interact online while they compete in an
epic tourney for conquest on the Yale campus between all 12
residential colleges. Alumni join the game and fight for their alma
mater residential college against all the rival teams. The
residential college that conquers the entire Yale campus wins!
There's also a real-time chat interface on the site, so alums can
connect, socialize, and strategize with one another during the game.
The more alumni from your residential college who play, the better
your team will do in the game -- so start recruiting far and wide!
Your kids can also play using your AYA email address.
To join the game, just follow these three easy steps:

instructions to pick your team.
That's it; you're all set to play! Links to the rules and other
information are at the top of the page. Now spread the word, and
encourage your fellow alumni to join in the fun.
GoCrossCampus (GXC) is a venture-backed web startup, with a growing
staff on both coasts, was founded in the spring of 2007 by a team of
Yale undergraduates from the Yale Entrepreneurial Society
(http://yes.yale.edu) and a Columbia undergraduate. All five founders
are still undergraduates. GoCrossCampus was incubated last summer at
the first-annual Yale Entrepreneurial Institute (YEI) Summer
Fellowship Program (http://yale.edu/yei), a new institutional Yale
initiative dedicated to fostering student startup ventures. The
company is continuing to expand rapidly, developing its brand and
software into a groundbreaking new multi-platform team-based social
gaming destination.
