2014 Jul 28

Katherine Burgos '15 of New London, CT, participated in the Organization of Latin American Students (OLAS) at Eastern Connecticut State University during the spring 2014 semester. Burgos's major is Biology.

Twenty-four 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 3.06, much higher than the 2.91 average for those students not taking part in any of the nearly 72 clubs/organizations.

Clubs/organizations planned and implemented 853 events for the 2013-14 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.
