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.

Joining the EWU Retirees Association (EWURA) is a great way to stay connected while engaging in fun and positive activities. Membership dues are affordable at just $25 a year for retirees and an additional $15 a year for partners and spouses. Visit our Join Us page to learn more.
Join Us to Make an Impact
EWURA members are dedicated to making a difference for hardworking students at Eastern Washington University. The EWURA Golden Eagle Scholarship Fund has provided more than 40 awards to help undergraduate students over the years. We contribute through membership dues, money raised by the Golden Eagle Golf League and special fundraisers.

Connect with friends old and new during our EWURA presentations and special events. Meetings feature guest speakers who share expertise in topics ranging from the political climate in the Middle East to the history of our national parks. Special annual events include a music concert, a holiday party and breakfast with the university president.
