Leveling Up: The Rapid Growth of ECU's Esports Program

By: Sunnie Dawn Baker 

When Cody Soden took the Director of Alumni Relations position at ECU in March of 2023, he had no way of knowing where his life was going to lead. Within three months, he became involved with the Esports program at ECU and by August, he was officially splitting his time between the two programs. This year, as of July 1st, ECU officially appointed Soden as the full-time Director of Esports. Soden has an unbridled passion for this work; the administration saw his passion, and the value in what he was trying to accomplish and decided to let him run with it.
