In September, CCNY celebrated its recent Esports Club victory at a Valorant tournament held on August 31 at OS NYC, where the team triumphed over five other CUNY schools, an event streamed live on Twitch to over 2,000 viewers. During Student Orientation, CCNY’s Board Game Club joined in to recruit new members and showcase its unique focus on both gameplay and game design, with meetings now set for Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Gaming Pathways program also launched its courses, offering instruction in game design, level design, programming, and UI/UX design. With new faculty members on board, students gained access to advanced resources like the Alienware Computer Lab and Gaming Library. Meanwhile, Urban Arts initiated its fall College Access Workshops, supporting college-bound juniors and seniors. September’s sessions included “College Application 101” on September 23 and “CUNY Application Support” on September 30, all part of the college prep support for Urban Arts students.
