Winter Has Officially Arrived
As I look out my window on a cold winter’s day, I feel a sense of warmth as I reflect
on all the good things that are happening at Eureka College. A record number of
students are now attending EC. The new dormitory, Ivy Hall, has opened and it is
beautiful. Gunz Hall has been renovated and it, too, is spectacular. The men’s and
women’s basketball teams are in the hunt for league championships and students are
busy in the classroom, working at internships and planning service projects. It may be
cold outside but here at EC the warmth of the Eureka College spirit makes me feel
good. I hope you feel it too.
