Fierce Gamer
NIU Esports and Dr. Levi Harrison are proud to announce a multi-year collaborative partnership to promote and support healthy gaming. Known as “the esports doctor,” Dr. Harrison is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the treatment of hand, arm and shoulder injuries. He’s also an avid video game player, mental health advocate and the creator of both the Try-Angle hand fitness device and Fierce Gamer – an app that provides exercises, meditations, healthy eating advice and other information to promote gamers’ physical and mental well-being.
Fierce Gamer Project
Starting in the fall of 2022, at least 100 NIU students will beta test the Fierce Gamer app and use the Try-Angle for hand conditioning exercises, contributing to the NIU Esports mission to create a healthy and inclusive video gaming community.
NIU students who are gamers are eligible to participate for free! Learn more by filling out a simple inquiry form. All participants who complete the program will receive a free one-year subscription to Fierce Gamer.
Fierce Gamer Scholarship
Dr. Levi is also providing support to NIU students through a generous scholarship fund, providing one $1,000 esports scholarship in the first year, while adding an additional scholarship each year for the next five years. Learn more about the scholarship and how to apply. You don't need to participate in the Fierce Gamer Scholarship, but you do need to be a self-proclaimed gamer and an NIU student to apply.
