| Abstract | This study used appreciative inquiry and was designed to explore university awareness of Internet gaming addiction and whether the university was prepared to address Internet gaming addiction as a community. Data collection for this study included interviews of a sample of university professionals, a field journal, and review and analysis of an artifact collection. The sample size for the study was eight full-time faculty and staff members, representing 40% of the professionals from the higher education institution. A thematic analysis of the data was generated from categorization and coding of answers to interview questions and insights reported by participants. The thematic analysis revealed that the campus community was formerly unaware of the academic and behavioral health detriments Internet gaming addiction has on their students. This qualitative research study incorporated a professional development action presentation that disseminated the end results to four of the study participants, who as a group, discussed answers to interview questions. The group discussion generated campus community responses that included policy development and practice recommendations that addressed the problem of Internet gaming addiction with a focus on improved student success, persistence in matriculation, and retention to graduation. These recommendations included strategically briefing new personnel and first-year students of the dangers of Internet gaming addiction, intentionally asking academically poor performing students about the amount of time they game, and deliberately fostering mentoring relationships.
