Organized, competitive video gaming is booming on college campuses and Carroll joined the world of esports in the fall of 2020. Like traditional sports, players join together to form teams for each game and compete against other teams from other universities. As part of Carroll's recreation and wellness programming, the university offers both recreational and varsity team esports opportunities in a newly-dedicated gaming facility, where students can connect with other gamers here on campus and across the world. Ready to take your gaming to the next level?
