Esports

Esports at Southern Miss is a multi-phased program centered around competitive esports teams established to represent the university in intercollegiate competition and providing a place for every student to game!

Our Mission

The primary mission of this community is to develop learning focused, connected, and healthy individuals through competition, community, and esports experiences. 

The secondary mission of this community is to prepare students for post-graduation with non-competitive industry training in their chosen field of study.
