A Message from The Director

When we set out to build esports and gaming energies at OU we knew from day one that desire and demand wasn't going to be the issue. It was going to be administrative buy-in and cultural mindset elevation. Seven years of development and execution have brought us to this elevated state. We strategized our milestones, created intentional programs, and coupled it with the student voice and campus culture to build something that is 100% OU from top to bottom. Our roadmap is still only about 40% executed in 2024 and we have much more to showcase, innovate, and explore! - Moog

The goal of our program since creation was to create student champions from the student organizational beginnings into payroll enabled undergraduate staff then to graduate assistants and finally full-time employees of OU. In the '23 - '24 year both first and second tiers of evolution happened on the road to full-time employment.
