Shippensburg University is a public university in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. It is part of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Relatively new to the esports scene, they just launched their program in January 2020. Still, in its infancy, they're holding internal tournaments for games suggested by the students with plans on establishing competitive teams from it. Popular titles include DOTA, League of Legends, and Rocket League. An interesting and promising thing about their esports program is that it's founded on inclusivity and student initiative. The program facilities offer all sorts of activities and games and have received significant interest from the students.

Joining conferences for the school to compete in is in the foreseeable roadmap. They're currently gathering as many resources and information they can to make official esports teams and organize programs to compete and officially represent the school in the future.

In this episode, Michael Duignan, Executive Director of Student Life, shares the establishment of Shippensburg University Esports and gives us an inside look at establishing their esports program from the ground up.
