As we begin this new school year, it is good that we remember how much we have to be thankful for in Eastern’s community. So, as we gear up for a new semester, let us remember to be intentional about the ways in which we celebrate the community we love so dearly.
A good way to do this is to issue a warm welcome to the new full-time members of our faculty. Most students would agree that part of what makes Eastern such a unique and wonderful school is the dedication and love of their professors.
