Hello, fellow Eagles!<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we prepare to welcome students for the 2024-25 academic year, and our traditional homecoming celebration, change is in the air.<\/p>\n

Soon, the University will launch a strategic plan to chart our path over the next five years while also revealing a brand platform highlighting Eastern\u2019s many strengths.<\/strong>\u00a0The new branding will differentiate Eastern from other public universities in Washington, while supporting the enrollment, recruitment and retention of students from all backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Eastern is building a future with the help of supporters like you \u2013 a future that creates life-changing opportunities that propel students like single dad\u00a0Kevin Uyekawa<\/a>\u00a0into high-demand careers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This means donors, alumni and friends of Eastern have stepped up \u2013 and will continue to step up. So, I guess, the secret is out.<\/p>\n

In the months ahead, look for a bold presence as we honor Eastern\u2019s humble past and lay the groundwork for our future.<\/p>\n

In the meantime,\u00a0thank you for supporting Eastern<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 and Go Eags!<\/p>\n
