After thoughtful consideration and review of institutional priorities, Converse University has made the difficult decision to conclude the esports program at the end of the 2025–2026 academic year. Since its launch, Converse Esports has provided student-athletes with opportunities to compete at the collegiate level, build lifelong skills through teamwork and leadership, and represent our University on regional and national stages. We are proud of the program’s accomplishments, including the growth of our teams, the development of student staff roles, and the creation of a welcoming community for gamers across campus. While the program will not continue beyond 2025–2026, Converse remains deeply committed to supporting our current esports student-athletes. All scholarships that have been awarded will be honored through the completion of the program, and the University will continue to provide resources to ensure a strong student experience during this final year. We want to thank our student-athletes, staff, alumni, and supporters who have helped shape Converse Esports into what it is today. Your dedication and passion have left a lasting mark on our community, and we look forward to celebrating this program’s legacy together during its concluding year.
