2012 Mar 13

Jessica Kennedy '13 of Broad Brook, CT, is a member of Eastern Connecticut State University's American Advertising Federation. Kennedy is majoring in Communication.

The purpose of the American Advertising Federation is to inform and educate students about the different aspects of advertising and the advertising industry.

More than 30 percent of the full-time students enrolled at Eastern now participate in at least one club/organization, an increase of almost 10 percent since fall 2008. Students who participate in clubs/organizations excel in the classroom and do better academically than students who do not participate. In spring 2011, 1,345 full-time students participating in clubs had an average GPA of 3.06, much higher than the 2.84 average for those students not taking part in any of the nearly 70 clubs/organizations.

Clubs/organizations planned and implemented almost 600 events last 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.

Eastern Connecticut State University is the state's public liberal arts university and serves approximately 5,600 students each year on its Willimantic campus and satellite locations.
