Butler Community College recently unveiled the new Grizzly E-Sports and Gaming Lounge on the El Dorado campus. The new facility will support the eSports and Digital Events Management program.

Butler’s course catalog describes the program as one that will “prepare you to use concepts of digital video and photography, livestreaming and podcasting equipment and software, gameplay concepts and tactics, UX/UI design principles, organization concepts and rollout of digital based events including eSports events, educational events, company events, etc.” The catalog also says that students will work either as individuals or in a team-setting and the content they create will be used in all sorts of mediums, like corporate events or television and radio-based content.
