Greetings from Eureka
Can you believe the Holiday season is here already? Such special days as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day give us occasions to celebrate our faith, family and all the joys that make up HOME for the Holidays. I hope you feel that Eureka is your home away from home and continues to be your special place. Home is where you are remembered and valued. For this reason, the alumni of this historical place are like family. FAMILY takes pride in its home and in its members, and we on campus take pride in you! As you count your blessings during this season, I hope Eureka is on your list because our alumni and friends are always at the top of ours!
Be blessed this Holiday Season,
Shellie Schwanke
Director of Alumni Relations - Class of '87 |

Dr. Logsdon’s Studs Terkel Project
Dr. Loren Logsdon, Professor Emeritus of English, has captured the spirit of Eureka College history in a special project he fondly calls the “Studs Terkel Project.”
The project is a collection of alumni memories and stories which weave a rich tapestry of the Eureka College experience during the '40s, '50s, and '60s.
We are proud to share another installment.
