2017 Sep 28

Many Eastern Connecticut State University students participate in Eastern's clubs during the academic year.

Kaeley Vera '18 of Willington participated in the Spanish Club during the spring 2017 semester. Vera's major is Elementary Education and Spanish.

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 students who do not participate in any of the clubs/organizations.

Clubs/organizations planned and implemented numerous events for the semester. 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, many of which also benefit the local community.
