SUNY Chancellor Kristina M. Johnson has announced the first ever SUNY Chancellor Esports Challenge powered by Extreme Networks — an esports tournament open to all 64 SUNY schools that begins on April 22. The main goal of the challenge is to raise money for #SUNYTogether Student Emergency Funds to help support students who need access to basic resources due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Chancellor Johnson has committed $10,000 and sponsor Extreme Networks has committed $10,000 for a total of $20,000 available in prizes. All prize money will be directed to the winning schools’ Student Emergency Fund. Participating SBU students will raise money for Stony Brook’s Student Emergency Fund.
