Hello, Fellow Eagles<\/strong>,<\/p>\n

Spring is in the air!<\/p>\n

We have been working on increasing our footprint in the region and following up on all the wonderful gifts received from our launch of Eastern\u2019s first-ever comprehensive campaign,\u00a0Build Our Future<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We have raised $73M to our $100M goal with your generosity and support.\u00a0This means close to 5,000 student scholarships and hundreds of paid applied learning opportunities,\u00a0<\/strong>along with leveraging EWU’s brand position; the region’s polytechnic, to showcase the faculty and student hands-on learning in our communities.<\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t do it without you!\u00a0In fact, our annual\u00a0EWU Scholarship Review Night<\/strong>\u00a0takes place on Thursday, March 13, at 5 p.m. at the Spokane Club, in downtown Spokane.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0And, we need volunteers to review applications and help award hundreds of scholarships. Please\u00a0RSVP here<\/a> <\/strong>if you’d like to help.\u00a0Thank you to all of you for building Eastern\u2019s future \u2013 now and beyond!<\/p>\n
