Biography

Mohammad was the President of Wolverine Soft in the 2006-2007 school year.

He enjoys learning more about and keeping up with the games industry. To him, there are few other industries that host such an engaged consumer base and provide entertainment to such a wide variety of people.

As President, Mohammad wanted to see Wolverine Soft branch out further than it had before. Under his leadership, the newly acquired office became a hub for Wolverine Soft activities as the club greatly increased its resources both to make games and to share them with other students. Wolverine Soft increased its interaction with other student groups on campus and hosted its first multi-University 48 hour game development contest.

To him, college is the ideal time for game enthusiasts to create their own unique projects.

What he sees out there is a multi-billion dollar industry that Wolverine Soft's members will soon become a part of. However, in order to build an industry that doesn't just emulate itself and rely on graphics' wars, game developers must innovate. Prototype new ideas you have, improve upon the ones you've seen that could use more polish, be your own boss and make what you want to make. This is your time for experimentation and Wolverine Soft is the place.

Plus, in 2005 the Michigan Information & Research Service described him as a "Video Game Expert from the University of Michigan."

Mohammad Dar was a History and Cell and Molecular Biology double major at the University of Michigan from 2004-2008. He is currently pursuing his MD at the University of Michigan Medical School.
