Hawkeye Gamers Club

Social Club for Students Who Enjoy Playing Games

The club provides an opportunity for students with a common interest in games to gather and have fun. Members play a wide range of games: PC games, console games, board games, card games, and Tabletop RPG games. The exact games played at events vary by member attendance.

Membership

Membership is free and open to all Hawkeye Community College students. Members must sign a form each semester. Members need to help the club officers to meet the club requirements for Student Activities.

Meetings — Spring 2025

The Hawkeye Gamers Club meets every Monday at 3 PM in Black Hawk Hall 132 or online through Discord voice.

Gamers Club Events

All events are announced on our club's Discord server.

We host a 27 game event once a month during the school year. These events typically start around 3 PM on Friday and end around 3 PM the following Saturday, with a quiet room available for sleeping overnight if needed. The club will provide a few TVs, ethernet cables, switches, and internet access for these events. Anything else that is needed will need to be brought by attendees. Fee: $8.

Each May, the club hosts a 48-hour game event. The fees gathered from other events throughout the year are pooled to buy prizes for this big event. Typically, we give away over $1,000 worth of prizes at this event. The fee is to be determined but will cost more than the monthly events. Fee: TBA

We have had an enormous surge in interest in playing Dungeons & Dragons over the last few years, so we've set up ways to play Dungeons & Dragons online as well as in person. Connect with us on Discord to learn more!

Come gather and play board games and card games! The games played vary depending on what games are brought by attendees. These events are held on scheduled Fridays from 3 – 10 PM.
