2012 Oct 22

Eastern Connecticut State University student Brittany Lane '14 of Colchester, CT, has been chosen as a resident assistant for the fall 2012 semester. Lane's major is Physical Education.

RAs at Eastern are carefully selected and trained to help dormitory residents create an environment that is conducive to individual and social growth. Each RA creates recreational, educational and community service programming to involve students in the residence hall community and the community at large. RAs assist individual students in their social and personal development.

Approximately 60 percent of all Eastern undergraduate students live on campus. The peer support of resident assistants in bridging a student's academic, residential and social life on campus is a critical element of Eastern's liberal arts environment. Small classes, more than 70 student clubs and a vibrant cultural calendar contribute to the overall campus experience found at Eastern.

Focusing on undergraduate education as Connecticut's only public liberal arts university, the University combines a strong liberal arts curriculum with experiential learning opportunities - internships, student research and community service - to prepare graduates for successful careers in a variety of professional fields.

Founded in 1889 as a two-year normal school training elementary schoolteachers for jobs in Connecticut schools, Eastern has grown to become a comprehensive, master's degree-granting institution of approximately 5,300 students recognized by such publications as U.S. News and World Report and the Princeton Review.
