💻🎮 UMFK Computer Systems Administration students don’t just study technology — they build it.

From the ground up, they designed, built, and now maintain the entire UMFK eSports Lab. Along the way, they gained real-world experience with hardware, software, and systems.

And when our eSports team needs support, these students are the first line of defense, turning classwork into a truly hands-on learning experience.
