What is Kai Cenat's Streamer University?
Cenat’s pop-in was part of his informal ‘Streamer University’ series, a tour where he shows up unannounced at college campuses across the country. Over the past few weeks, he’s made similar surprise visits in Georgia and Florida.
Notably, earlier this month, the Twitch star announced. “I’m excited to extend to you a most heartfelt welcome to the very first class of Streamer University.”
“Here, you will find a school where chaos is encouraged and content is king.”
Cenat has built a loyal fanbase that follows him both online and off. His content is unpredictable, funny, and often chaotic in the best way possible.
The 2023 Streamy Award’s ‘Streamer of the Year's’ this idea surfaced during a Twitch stream where he shared, “I’m going to rent out a university over a course of a weekend. It will be streaming university. Okay? I’m going to rent it out.”
