One of the biggest personalities in streaming media recently put the University of Akron on the map in a new way for a new audience.

Cenat, who has 17 point 6 million followers on Twitch, and more than 20 million subscribers on YouTube, brought 120 rising content creators together on campus for a hybrid in-person and online experience called "Streamer University", which was designed to be both fun and educational.

Listen now for details about how the internet personality created a fictional University on a real college campus, attracting the attention of more than a million fans online, and and thousands more in person, over the course of the four-day event.
