University News | October 2, 2024
Virginia Wesleyan University is pleased to announce that CompleteU, a higher education recruitment and retention service, has agreed to sponsor the University’s Esports program, funding a major upgrade of VWU’s Esports Arena. The upgrade includes the purchase of new Lenovo Legion T5 gaming computers, each paired with 27-inch Legion monitors, along with high-performance gaming keyboards, mice, and headsets. 
The newly-named CompleteU Marlin Esports Arena will provide players with the tools needed to elevate their competitive gameplay. In addition to supporting the Marlin Esports team, CompleteU will also serve as the flagship sponsor for VWU’s annual Collision on the Coast Rocket League Tournament.
"CompleteU is proud to sponsor the VWU Esports team as it strives to be the best in the country and around the globe,” says CompleteU CEO & Founder John Meyer. “The growth of Esports is something CompleteU wanted to be a part of and we found a great partner in Virginia Wesleyan University."
VWU Director of Esports Brandon Kwon ’23 says the Complete U sponsorship will open new opportunities for the Esports program. “All of our students and staff are thankful for their support and can't wait to make them proud in competition in the years to come!”
In addition to CompleteU's sponsorship, Virginia Wesleyan University is excited to announce a gift from Kellam Mechanical, which has enabled the Marlin Esports program to expand its gaming lineup. Thanks to their support, Super Smash Brothers will now be added as the sixth game in which the Marlin Esports team competes. Our thanks to Sarah, ‘92 and Scott Kellam for their generosity.
