a group of friends or create a team from your residence

hall, you can compete in intramural sports and kickball,

volleyball and dodgeball competitions.

Student OrganizationsAt Eastern, there’s something for everyone. If you’re passionate

about a cause or academic area, then you’ll find a student

organization for you. And if not, we’ll help you create one.
