The Challenge

Student needs were unmet due to lack of gaming opportunities. Conflict existed between recreational and competitive gaming crowds.

My Approach

I utilized a student-first approach of surveys, community engagement, and increased advertising. Events engaged gamers of all interests through free play events and esports teams.

The Outcome

The organization became the largest student organization on campus. I balanced recreational and competitive gaming while creating an inclusive space for all students.
