Improve the Student Experience & Produce Positive Impacts On Enrollment

Esports programs can be found on campuses around the world. Unfortunately, the fever to add an exciting new experience with significant growth potential in the areas of enrollment and student engagement has resulted in programs being created across various divisions – from student affairs to athletics – with little uniformity.

How do you develop a program that wins in competitions and enriches the student experience while producing overall student success? The cacophony of opinions can be frustrating and confusing for all involved.

An esports program rooted in student development theory and a strong understanding of organizational culture can improve the student experience and produce positive impacts on enrollment. You can create opportunities for access to athletics in a way that traditional athletics cannot – and provide a culture of acceptance and celebration of difference.
