Please join us in congratulating VAL KILBY, our Employee of the Year!! Val has been with Plymouth State Esports since its establishment; watching it evolve from its humble beginning to the robust program it is now. Val has also grown with the department into a star-role model and student leader. From revamping the social media presence of Plymouth State Esports and reviving the casting program for ECAC matches, captaining and coaching teams, even serving as the President of the Esports Club, there isn’t a single aspect of the Plymouth State Esports community untouched by his resolve. Val saw the vision that the founding members of Plymouth State Esports had for the department and used his next-level work ethic and ambition to work with students from all walks of campus life to create an inclusive, successful program that gives students a look into a niche industry with unique opportunities for self-growth and skills that are transferable into the workforce beyond academia. We thank Val for his commitment and dedication in leading Plymouth State Esports into an ever-brighter future and being a key part of its success and look forward to what he has planned next! Congratulations, Val! 💚
