University President Sue Thomas welcomed Isiah Slater from the Truman esports team for a recent episode of “Tea Time with Sue.”
A computer science and graphic design double major, Slater was instrumental in establishing the University’s esports program, which began competition in the fall. In addition to being a member of the team, he also coaches the “Rocket League” squad that qualified for National Association of Collegiate Esports playoffs.
Slater discussed how the pandemic led to an interest in livestreaming. On his Twitch channel, Awesopossum, he covers everything from video games, to art and 3D modeling. During the episode, Slater also mentioned his love of baking and his entry of Krabby Patties in his family’s annual contest. The entire podcast conversation can be found on the Truman Spotify channel. The complete video is also posted on the Truman YouTube channel.
All full-time Truman students are eligible to try out for the esports team, which competes in “Rocket League,” “League of Legends” and “Super Smash Bros Ultimate.” More information about the team can be found by following @TrumanEsports on Instagram and Twitter. Livestreams of esports events are available at twitch.tv/trumanesports.
Throughout the school year, President Thomas will welcome guests for one-on-one chats that shine a light on the people and things that make Truman the special place it is. New episodes will be announced in the Truman Today as they become available. Guests for “Tea Time with Sue” can be nominated at truman.edu/teatime.
