More than 250 incoming Eastern Washington University students will participate in Eagle UP! by joining staff and faculty in service projects across Cheney/West Plains and Spokane on Tuesday, Sept. 23.
Projects vary from supporting our local Cheney and Spokane Parks to assisting seniors at Volunteer Chore Services and Cheney Care Center to providing assistance at the EWU and Vinegar Flats community gardens. These students will join the thousands of Eastern students who invest their time and talent serving our local and regional communities each year.
According to Molly Ayers, director of Eastern’s Office of Community Engagement, EWU is committed to developing opportunities for students that are transformative and cultivate “professionally, socially and culturally engaged leaders, citizens and communities.” Ayers said the university recognizes the importance of engaging with local communities and values the opportunities community engagement provides for students, faculty, staff and graduates as well as the communities served.
Residents who would like more information can contact Ayers at 509-359-2792.
