The glow of computer screens and the click of keyboards filled the room as students gathered for Meridian Community College’s esports interest meeting. Students who found their way to the College’s Reed Hall room learned more about a team that’s found its place on campus. MCC’s team is part of the National Junior College Athletic Association Esports, a league that connects more than 6,000 students at over 230 colleges across the country. “I like it because it’s accommodating for all skill levels,” Beckman said. Many of the state’s community colleges field esports teams, and Beckman anticipates the Eagles building on the momentum.
