If you’re a gamer, consider attending Lourdes Univer-
sity, who has just added an eSports
program to their athletic roster. The Catholic
university will be the first in the Wolverine-Hoosier
Athletic Conference to offer an eSports scholarship
program, meaning all those years of gaming might
just pay for your schooling. “Competitive video gam-
ing requires students to possess excellent critical
thinking, problem-solving and teamwork skills –
which are transferrable to their academic pursuits.
In addition, these individuals must follow a strong
fitness regimen and have a healthy mind and spirit,”
said Lourdes President Mary Ann Gawelek.” First-
person shooters or violent games will not be a part
of the curriculum. Cory Cahill, Assistant Men’s and
Women’s Gray Wolves Volleyball Coach will be overseeing the eSports program, and the teams will play in the school’s new gaming arena, located in the rec center.
