Virtual Kickoff
Thursday, July 22
Noon
|
First, join us on online for a virtual tour that highlights recent additions to campus, including the new bowhead whale exhibit at the UA Museum of the North and the Alaska Esports Center.
|
|
After the virtual tour, experience an alumni gaming event hosted by the Alaska Esports crew. Players will need a tablet or smartphone with internet access. No experience required!
|
Join us for a series of silly games where you can share your funniest ideas. Answer prompts such as "The best way to impress an alien from Mars..." or "The hit song from 'Recycling: The Musical.' " It will be a fun competition full of laughs, and a chance for you to get answers to questions about esports at UAF!

Check out the reunion webpage for links. Make your plan to attend as many events as possible!
