You’re going to FALL for Eastern Celebrates!

Join us on campus for a new and exciting Eastern Celebrates on Saturday, October 5, 2024 with reunions reaching back to the 1950s. We’re keeping all of the things you love about Eastern Celebrates, like the morning reception with President Núñez, campus tours, the Alumni March and Blarney’s, but we’re adding lots more.

Eastern Celebrates will be held along with Family Day, so the university will be buzzing with students, parents, faculty, staff and alumni all together on campus.

It's not too late to make a gift! All of these scholarships were created to honor special members of the Eastern family who — individually or collectively — had a huge impact on the evolution of Eastern from normal school to a top 20 public university.

Whether you choose to mail a check or give with a credit card online or over the phone, we're here to help — just call (860) 465-4509 or email stenkom@easternct.edu.

So call your old roommates and friends and make your plans to come back!
