Welcome EWU Retirees!
The EWU Retirees Association is an all-inclusive organization open to retired faculty and staff who worked at Eastern, and others. Our members enjoy good times and camaraderie while making a positive impact on students through the EWURA Golden Eagle Scholarship.

We contribute through membership dues, money raised by the Golden Eagle Golf League and special fundraisers.
