Honor Comes From The National Association of Collegiate Esports

The National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE), a global leader in esports education and engagement, named SU Esports Program Director Joey Gawrysiak, Ph.D., as Program Director of the Year at its convention in July.

This is a tremendous honor to be recognized for this award by all of our peer institutions in the space. We strive to offer the best program possible for our students and to help others build successful, student-centered programs. This award means a lot and could have gone to any number of tremendous directors at so many great programs. It really shows that we are a premier program and truly take esports beyond gaming.”
