HVCC to Participate in First-Ever SUNY Chancellor E-Sports Challenge

Hudson Valley Community College is proud to participate in the first ever SUNY Chancellor Esports Challenge powered by Extreme Networks. This is a tournament open to all 64 SUNY schools designed to creatively involve students throughout this health crisis.

The goal is to raise #SUNYTogether Student Emergency Funds.

Chancellor Johnson has committed $10,000 and sponsor Extreme Networks has committed $10,000 – meaning that $20,000 in prizes are up for grabs.
