Lander Esports competes locally and nationally in several conferences for League of Legends, Overwatch 2, Rocket League, and Valorant, and also houses several opportunities for students to showcase their talents in broadcasting, graphic design, and much more.
Complete the Lander Esports Recruitment Form.
These titles compete in official Peach Belt and national competitions and have full access to our on-campus esports facility, scholarships, our strength and conditioning facilities, and other benefits.
The Lander University Esports Production Crew was created in the Fall of 2023 and offers internship experience to those who successfully complete a full semester in the program. With each semester, a student earns a Certificate of Experience and cumulates in a Letter of Certification. This can be used and counted as an internship on resumes and will be validated by the coaching staff and Lander Athletics to help jump-start your career when you leave Lander.
These titles are recognized by Lander Esports but do not receive scholarships. For more information, please contact bhoward@lander.edu
