How Prospective Students Can Get Involved
Now is a Great Time to Become a Huskie. Apply to NIU. Play Esports.
If you play esports, there's never been a better time to attend NIU. With an esports arena dedicated to our varsity esports program in DeKalb, a very active student esports club, and an Esports Special Interest Community in the Neptune East residence hall, there are many ways to meet other players, practice your skills, compete in tournaments and grow your community.
We're Recruiting for Esports Varsity Teams
We're actively recruiting new players for our Rocket League, League of Legends and Overwatch varsity teams starting in fall 2020. Email Conner Vagle, our Esports General Manager, for more information about playing for NIU in the Esports Collegiate Conference. Want to participate in the program but not compete? Students can help us with shoutcasting, marketing and event planning.
