The University of Rochester Simulation Gaming Association (URSGA) is an organization made up of students, alumni, other members of the University of Rochester community, and residents of the surrounding area who share an interest in what are commonly referred to as simulation games or adventure games.

As a self-funded Agency of the UR Students' Association, our mission is to provide a meeting-place for gameplayers at the University and throughout the Greater Rochester area, to promote the growth of gaming as a useful and beneficial activity, and to foster a greater understanding of gaming in the non-gaming public, which often has some pretty peculiar misconceptions about some of the games we play.

URSGA membership is open to everyone — no University of Rochester affiliation is required, though one must be a UoR undergraduate student to hold elected office. Meetings are held (when the UoR is in session) every week, with plenty of room for games and other activities following the official meeting. Our office is in the main UoR student activities center: Wilson Commons 504.

Among many other activities, URSGA sponsors an annual games convention, SimCon, which is held every spring on the University's River Campus. For more details on SimCon, see the official convention site at simcon.org.
