Why Esports?
We want to show that Esports is beneficial to the overall health of our student body. The intellectual and social benefits that it provides are so important to today's students. The Nexus gaming lounge is located in the Wellness Center to promote healthy ways of gaming, such as taking frequent breaks to exercise, fuel properly, and participate in new activities.
What does NEXUS mean?
Nexus is defined as, "A series of connections linking two or more things, a connected group or series, and the central and most important point or place." We wanted the name to show just how much we wanted this space to bring people together and create a sense of community. Come alone, leave with a new friend!
Due to the closure of the Wellness Center due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Nexus is also temporarily closed at this time. Please follow our Discord above for updates.
