Alaska Esports Center virtual grand opening
March 22, 2021
UAF will celebrate the virtual grand opening of the Alaska Esports Center on Thursday, March 25, at 6 p.m.
The 30-minute program will be streamed on YouTube and Facebook, and will be hosted by faculty member Amanda White. She'll speak with student esports enthusiasts and introduce guest speakers, among them John Wayne, the first esports athlete to be signed by the NHL. There will also be a virtual tour of the new space and prize giveaways sponsored by GCI.
This is UAF's kickoff to the statewide philanthropic campaign. During the event, you'll be invited to join the statewide virtual launch, happening immediately after the UAF program.
The Alaska Esports Center grand opening is co-sponsored by University Advancement and the Center for Student Engagement. If you have any questions about the event, please contact Andrew Aquino at ajaquino@alaska.edu or 474-2619.
