Twas the night of December 5th, when the university was filled with holiday spirit, as the Varsity and Club teams celebrated the holidays together at the esports lab. There, the team enjoyed a delectable meal from Raising Cane’s, while playing some super fun party games and adventure-filled board games together. The team also had tons of fun participating in a white elephant gift exchange, where many a chuckle was to be had! It was an amazing opportunity to celebrate one of our best seasons yet, and all of the friends we made along the way! 💚
