Esports is growing at an unprecedented rate in the SUNY System! Canton, NY – A few short years ago, SUNY Canton became the first college in New York to join the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE), competing with roughly 40 other colleges and universities in the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC), after garnering recognition as a Division III Varsity sport at the college. SUNY Canton would open the first collegiate esports arena in the SUNY System, making it one of the largest dedicated gaming spaces in the Northeast. The 1,800 square-foot, $500,000 esports arena houses 25 high-end gaming stations, each equipped with ergonomic gaming chairs, multicolored LED backlit mechanical keyboards, and mice. Home of the first Varsity Esports team in the SUNY System, the arena was designed after a professional gaming space and includes a streaming station for collegiate matches.

by Sarah Battaglia Heading north on 86th from Stillwell, the elevated B train rumbles. Coney meets Gravesend, and scents of buttery cookies bless the corner of 25th Avenue, rivaling the fragrance of L&B Pizza, the borough's best, hands down. Paper towel facades of discount stores brighten the concrete landscape between Italian designer shoes and Russian fur vaults. A bridal mannequin vogues across the street from the salumeria as the cugines cruise toward Bay Parkway in shiny Infinitis and Mustangs. Bensonhurst segues to Dyker Heights and, as the "el" veers right, the sky opens straight ahead to Bay Ridge. Actors shoot scenes at 18th Avenue while Independence Bank welcomes a stream of customers. Turkish halvah and Mandarin chicken share a small, busy corner, but the Sicilian social club entrance remains silent. An upscale furniture boutique borders the Greek café. Cars pull into the four-level garage at Fifth Avenue (double-parking spaces are filled on the strip). Italian women with bloated ankles push shopping carts past Korean boys on skateboards. A Dominican mother and son wait at the corner for the crosstown bus to Sunset Park. I stop at the Third Avenue intersection where a mosque and video store co-exist. One last look behind me and I drive toward the bridge, back to suburbia, and away from the borough of my soul. Please help the UFS follow through on our January 21 resolution to add anti-racist language to SUNY's official Mission Statement. |
