Eastern Welcomes New Full-Time Faculty Members

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.
