2015 Mar 30

Samantha Walter '17 of Wethersfield, CT, participated in the Habitat for Humanity Club at Eastern Connecticut State University during the fall 2014 semester. Samantha's major is Environmental Earth Science.

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 planned and implemented 322 events for the fall 2014 semester alone. 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.
