eSports in Higher Education: Charles Murray - An Ed Tech Day FeaturedSession

By Andrew Hogan, February 29, 2020

 On Thursday, March 19th at 12:10 pm in the Clark Lounge Charles Murray a nationally recongized innovator in eSports and Coordinator of the SUNY Canton eSports program will highlight how eSports in higher education has become a cultural phenomenon that is taking college campuses all across the world by storm. SUNY Canton has established itself as a leader in collegiate esports for the North East U.S. with two ECAC championship titles, a varsity program with dedicated full-time staff, and a burgeoning esports population that is beginning to rival the size of traditional athletics on their campus. Attendants can learn how SUNY Canton created partnerships to evolve its program from 18 students playing three games to about 100 students playing 8 titles.

This is one of over 50 sessions that are part of Ithaca College's 30th annual Educational Technology Day, scheduled for March 19th from 9 am to 3 pm in the Campus Center.  No registration is required for members of the Ithaca College community.  Complete information is available on the Ed Tech Day website:  www.ithaca.edu/edtechday.
