Dear Eagle Family,
Fresh off our annual awards celebration (The EeeWoos) – congratulations goes out to all of our winners (link below)…

In addition, major kudos go out to Davin Perry who has been the mastermind behind this event. Davin is completing his fourth year on our athletic staff and has basically been responsible for everything multi-media during his tenure. Unfortunately for us, this will be Davin’s last “rodeo” as he is going on to “bigger and better” things . . . actually, he is going on to study graduate level film production at Loyola Marymount. There is no doubt that we will be watching his films some day – or seeing him in front of the camera…he is that talented. We could not be more proud of Davin’s accomplishments within the department and wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors.
EAA FUND DRIVE - We celebrated our annual EAA Fund Drive recently as well. Co-chairs, Sam Anderson and Brendan Genther, did a tremendous job this year in leading the charge. This year’s drive was the best in many years and will give us great momentum going into the summer to attract even more great people into our Eagle family. If you know of someone that should be on board with us or have any questions, please contact Krysta Plato at kplato@ewu.edu.
