Recreation & Games


A great way to be a part of the LR community is through our recreation and game clubs. Find a group that meets your interests and start having fun.

    The esports team competes in multiple different games, against other collegiate teams. The student-led organization provides an environment for students to grow in their respective games, form a bond with other team members and coaches, as well as compete at a collegiate level. Due to the nature of the organization, members tend to grow or improve their communication, teamwork, problem-solving and develop great focus skills. The organization is a growing community and is welcome to students that want to improve themselves.
