CSU’s Esports Team Attends Academic Honors Basketball Game

Recently, CSU’s esports team, along with other athletic teams, attended a CSU basketball game, where they were honored for their roles on the dean and president’s lists for the Fall 2024 semester. We value our players’ hard work and dedication to their schooling. Keep up the great work, team! 💚

The Cleveland Clinic Visits Us!

Dr. Drew Schwartz from the Cleveland Clinic visited us at our facility recently to teach us how to maintain our health in esports! In the meeting, our players learned about injury prevention, ergonomics, and stretching in esports and had a blast during it too! Thank you to Dr. Drew Schwartz and the Cleveland Clinic for teaching us how to game healthily! 🎮

Player of the Week
Lexi Pewitt, "doverra," Overwatch White
![]() | ![]() |
Hello, dear readers, this is Adam Schuler, assistant director of esports here at CSU, and today I'll be writing about the wonderful Lexi Pewitt, aka “doverra”, for player of the week. If the name sounds familiar, it is because she is the one who puts together these fantastic newsletters for us, and we felt it was finally her time to be in the spotlight. She is from Brunswick, Ohio, and is currently double majoring in psychology and public relations (communications) and working towards a minor in digital content creation. While she serves as a core member of the foundation of our Overwatch 2 program, she also spends time keeping the program afloat as our director of communications! Outside of school and esports, Lexi loves photography and all things horror. She's done great in her first year in the program, and we can't wait to see what else she'll accomplish under our banner. Shoot for the stars, Lexi!
