2013 Aug 15

Ricketta Johnson '14 of Bridgeport, CT, participated in Pride Alliance at Eastern Connecticut State University during the spring 2013 semester.

Twenty-six percent of all full-time students enrolled at Eastern now participate in at least one club/organization. Students who participate in clubs/organizations excel in the classroom and do better academically than students who do not participate. Students participating in clubs had an average GPA of 3.05, much higher than the 2.90 average for those students not taking part in any of the nearly 70 clubs/organizations.

Clubs/organizations planned and implemented 768 events for the 2012-13 academic year. These programs have a direct impact on the daily life of all students on Eastern's campus. The programs range from social to educational, physical to spiritual, and civic engagement programs that equally affect the community.

Eastern Connecticut State University is the state's public liberal arts university and serves approximately 5,400 students each year on its Willimantic campus and satellite locations.
