2015 Jun 22

Elissa MacInnis '17 of Avon, CT, participated in the History Club at Eastern Connecticut State University during the spring 2015 semester. MacInnis's major is Pre-Elementary Education.

Eastern 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 3.10, much higher than the 2.94 average for those students not taking part in any of the 73 clubs/organizations.

Clubs/organizations and their 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, many of which also benefit the local community.
