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

Margaret Sayers '16 of Windsor Locks, CT, participated in the Health and Physical Education/Sport and Leisure Management (HPE/SLM) Club at Eastern Connecticut State University during the fall 2015 semester. Sayers's major is Physical 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 students who do not participate in any of the clubs/organizations.

Clubs/organizations planned and implemented numerous events for the fall 2015 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.
