Eagles for Recovery
You don’t have to choose between your education and your recovery.
Eagles for Recovery is a supportive community at EWU for students who are in recovery, considering recovery, or allies of those in recovery. This program is designed to foster meaningful social connections and provide support as you navigate both college life and your recovery journey.

Eagles for Recovery is a space for students to hang out, play games, watch tv, learn about recovery or harm reduction, get support, and build community.
The lounge is currently closed for the summer. If you are interested in recovery services, please contact our Wellness Director, Martha Staeheli, at mstaeheli@ewu.edu.
