Active Clubs
Esports Club
The esports club is both a student-led video game club and an opportunity for competitive, intercollegiate competition amongst other schools in the realm of esports. Students involved in the club can use the gaming room located in Room 340 for a free-play gaming space outside of classes, but students interested in participating in competitions will be able to form teams with their peers and have formal practices, weekly matches against other schools, and more. Donnelly is in the NJCAAE collegiate esport conference, which allows for a multitude of games in all different genres and team assemblies (including 1v1) and allows students to compete representing Donnelly from their own homes on their own systems. The esports club hosts tournaments exclusively for Donnelly students on campus for prizes. There is also an opportunity for interested students to explore the space of free-play streaming using the Donnelly Twitch or YouTube account. Finally, the club is an opportunity for students who are interested in using esports as an opportunity to further their education via scholarships and recruiting transfer schools with esports programs.
The esports classroom is available for any and all students to use respectfully, but students interested in creating a varsity team for competitions can contact the esports club student coach, Peter Martin, or staff advisor, Jacob Marlay.
Math Club
The Donnelly Math Club is here to help students develop, learn, and be confident with their math skills, whether they are applying their skills in class or in everyday life. The Math Club meets in Room 330.
