About Us
The People’s Organization of Network Gaming, or “PONG” is a student organization at the University of Wisconsin-Stout made up of students, alumni, and friends that are passionate about video games. Founded in 2003, PONG is the premier gaming experience for all UW-Stout students and the general public of the Menomonie, WI area. PONG specializes in 48-hour LAN parties on the second floor of the Memorial Student Center on Stout’s Campus, with 4 to 6 events during the school year. At these events you can make new friends, win great prizes, and participate in more than a dozen video game and tabletop game tournaments. You don’t need to be a student to join PONG. There is no special requirement for membership, and all gamers (whether PC, Console, Tabletop, Etc.) are welcome.
