Higher Ed Advisor: esports brings opportunities for institutions and students

Welcome to Higher Ed Advisor, the Baker Tilly podcast series where we speak with higher education industry leaders about practical and proactive guidance to help colleges and universities protect and enhance their value.

We welcome Harrisburg University President, Dr. Eric Darr, Ph.D., and Lackawanna College President, Dr. Jill Murray, Ph.D., to our athletics podcast series to continue our dive into collegiate esports.  

These two collegiate esports innovators share the numerous strategic and collaborative opportunities an esports program brings for both students and institutions, including diversity and inclusion, branding, recruiting and enrollment. We learn why both institutions got involved with esports, where Harrisburg University and Lackawanna College are on their esports journeys and lessons learned from launching an esports program at the varsity level.
