The Dome is a symbol of education for Southeast. We make the journey to the top and sign its beams as we take our place as Redhawks. Let us show you around this beloved landmark! 
SEMO students love eSports and we have an entire eSports Arena just for them along with a club, tournaments, and prizes. 
Whether you play to compete or for fun, we offer a variety of gaming options from consoles to PCs.
