We'd like to thank EWU senior Lili Mackin, who wrote to give us hope, because she wants to "help Eastern Washington University’s future by encouraging students to… make a difference in the future of the world and (create)… a lasting impact for the generations to come." Lili's commitment to ending war crimes, after being inspired by Professors Ashtana and Sharifi, reminds us of the enormous positive impact our students can have on the world.
