Why Engagement Matters for Your Eagle’s Success

January 7, 2025

We know that student success extends beyond the classroom. Getting involved in co-curricular activities not only helps students stay in school but also builds essential skills like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving that prepare them for their future careers.

Some students might feel that leadership isn’t for them, but leadership is about growth, not titles. It’s about learning, collaborating, and overcoming challenges—skills every student can develop. To support your student’s growth, EWU offers accessible and engaging workshops designed to help them thrive.
