Shenandoah University’s esports program is proud to announce its newest partnership with fashion innovator and health advocate Ray Dasher.

The new partnership highlights Shenandoah’s commitment to the health and well-being of those in the college esports scene by introducing products to esports athletes that will preserve an important part of their everyday lives: their eyesight. This collaboration will improve the quality of life of Shenandoah student-athletes in esports by providing them with blue light glasses, allowing them to safely look at monitors for extended periods of time.

It’s great to be working with a company like Ray Dasher to help our learners have a healthier experience as part of the esports program at Shenandoah University,” said Joey Gawrysiak, Ph.D., Shenandoah University’s director of esports. “By providing high-quality blue light glasses to all of our student-athletes, we are able to teach them about healthy gaming habits and help them understand the importance of wellness.”
