Laurel Ridge Hosting an Open House at New Esports Arena

Published

on

Game on! Laurel Ridge is inviting all esports enthusiasts and those curious about the extremely popular industry to an open house at the college’s new esports arena 4 – 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 16. The arena is located in the Student Union Building at the Middletown Campus. Free pizza and salad are being offered.

“We have created an inclusive space for present and future Laurel Ridge students to participate in recreational and competitive gaming,” said student recreation and wellness specialist Angela Schroeder. “A couple of Shenandoah University Esports Management majors are interning here. They have been instrumental in fine-tuning the program and offering instruction to students.

“SU welcomes Laurel Ridge students to transfer into their esports program, and an associate of business administration from here would fit right into their curriculum.”

The open house will showcase L.E.O. (Lions Esports Organization), which is made up of competitive players, casual gamers and supporters. In addition to getting a chance to meet some of these players, as well as Student Life staff, visitors will be able to play PC, console and tabletop games.
