Eagle Family Council

“As an EWU Alumni & proud EWU Dad, I believe the Eagle Family Council can integrate fun events, informational sessions, and educational opportunities to bring together families and alumni. We can also help bring families & communities from all over the state together to celebrate Eagle Pride. We as a council can bridge the gap and help marginalized groups of parents and students to feel welcome and supported.”

“The council is an open communication channel to get real-time feedback from parents to EWU. We have members listening to feedback from several sources like students, parents, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter posts. We bring the issues up in our forum to find solutions that will benefit everyone both before, during, and after college. We all are responding with constructive ways to help both parents and students navigate to make college the best possible experience.” -Kevin

“Being informed helps calm anxiety and provides tools for being successful. It is my hope that Eagle Family Council can assist the university in informing parents of ways to support their EWU child in being successful students and adults.” -Robin

“I believe the Eagle Family Council is important because of the group can help reach families and have them be involved with Eastern Washington University. The Eagle Family Council is an organized effort that works to help provide a voice for families, while keeping them involved with the university. I wanted to become involved with the Family Council to help assure families have a great experience at Eastern. I am hoping to be involved with efforts that not only keep families involved but help provide experiences to make college better for their students. I want to be part of a group providing great experiences for families and Eastern students.”

“The Eagle Family Council is vital because it fosters a strong connection between EWU and the families, creating a supportive community that enhances student success. By offering resources, communication, and involvement opportunities, the council empowers families to stay engaged in their student’s journey. I hope to contribute by facilitating meaningful dialogue, addressing family needs, and helping build a network that strengthens the EWU experience for everyone involved.”

“I hope to support families who are near and far from campus by finding resources and solutions for them. The family council is is an amazing resource of knowledge and solutions. I’m excited to help Eagle families succeed.”
