message from the president
Dear Friends, It is a great privilege for me to thank you, our generous donors, for choosing to “Give It Up 4 EWU� so that Eastern Washington University students can achieve their dreams. Your generosity has been critical during this period of record enrollment. Many students would struggle to stay in college without scholarship support, which helps students with tuition, housing and the cost of books. Just one gift to the scholarship fund, a college, department or program helps students achieve their academic and lifelong goals, while assisting the university in its primary mission to help students succeed. Take a moment to read the inspiring testimonials in the following pages to learn how your support has made a tremendous difference to our students. Most important, these scholarship recipients understand the value of giving and sharing, and they are eager to return the favor through philanthropy, community service and volunteering. As president, this means a lot to me as well because I want to ensure our students not only stay at Eastern but graduate with a sense of pride and civic responsibility. It is a great honor to recognize those who know the importance of investing in students at EWU. With gratitude,
Rodolfo ArĂŠvalo, PhD President
