Class of 1957

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.

Hey Graduates! Got Email?

2012 graduating seniors have the ability to keep their existing Eureka e-mail addresses.  They do not have to request this from IT Services as the account will not be removed from the system.  This is only for graduates who have successfully graduated from the college. 
E-mail accounts that are inactive for more than three months are subject to removal from the e-mail system. So, if you are retaining your Eureka.edu email account the alumni office would love to know. If you are using an alternate email address, we would like to know as well.

Use this link to keep us connected with you whenever your contact info changes >
