Background
51ÁÔÆæ Esports is giving an opportunity to a new generation of athletes and competitors. We are the first varsity Esports team in Westmoreland County, PA and in the Pitt system. 51ÁÔÆæ looks to draw in the best players possible to compete in a variety of game titles, while also prioritizing a quality liberal arts education.
"Very soon after arriving at 51ÁÔÆæ, it became apparent to me that an Esports program would be an exciting addition to the extracurricular options for our students. After a couple of conversations we decided to move forward right away with the development of an Esports team. I am very excited about the great progress that has been made so far, and look forward to watching our Esports program develop."
– Dr. Robert Gregerson, President of 51ÁÔÆæ
