Starting in January 2025!

All SCC students are invited to join the eBlackhawks Gaming Club! The club strives to create a community to foster leadership, teamwork, and critical thinking skills through gaming.
The members of the eSports Club come from all of the eSports ecosystem (i.e. players, spectators, fans, artists, and broadcasters,). The purpose of the club is to provide a sense of community for participants; engage students with a wide variety of skills and interests; create an accepting and inclusive environment; and provide opportunities for students to pursue their areas of interest. Membership is free, but the group does a minimal amount of fundraising.

Advisors: Brian Hoekstra & Thad Maxwell
