Seniors Give Back Through Senior Gift Program

Last August, a terrible storm hit Eureka College, causing destruction to many buildings on campus and taking out old beautiful trees that were hundreds of years old. It's easy to take the beauty of trees for granted until they are gone. The senior class decided they would like to give back by donating their class gift to beautifying campus and buying new trees to plant. Each senior’s donation will be part of this Earth-friendly initiative. Someday they will be able to show their grandkids the mark they left on Eureka College.
