Hoonah and Togiak are sending a little extra encou Hoonah and Togiak are sending a little extra encouragement as we head into finals season. 🐾❤️🦅❤️🦅🐾

This weekend, make time for rest, fresh air, a walk, a snack, a nap or whatever helps you recharge. Finals can feel big, but so is everything you’ve already accomplished to get here.

Take it one assignment, one exam, and one day at a time. You’ve got what it takes, and we’re cheering for you every step of the way.

Maybe it was a professor who checked in when you were struggling, offered support during a difficult semester, or created a classroom where you felt seen and valued.

As our seniors walked back through the pillars at the 10th Anniversary Senior Send-Off, I couldn’t help but think about what this song reminds us: no matter where life takes our graduates next, they will always have a home at EWU. ❤️🦅❤️🦅

Hoonah (EWU’s biggest four-legged fan 🐾) and I loved joining students, faculty, staff, alumni, families, and community members to cheer on the Class of 2026 as they took one more walk through this beloved tradition.

To our graduates: chase big dreams, climb every mountain, and make your mark on the world. Remember we’ll always be cheering for you, and we hope you’ll come back and see us often.

Next stop: graduation! 🎓

GO EAGS!

I believe some of the most meaningful student expe I believe some of the most meaningful student experiences can happen outside the classroom, and Student Affairs professionals get the privilege of helping create those moments. Whether it’s club sports, intramurals, outdoor adventures, fitness programs, or simply finding a community of people, recreation helps students build confidence, develop leadership skills, support their wellbeing, and discover a sense of belonging at EWU. The next Director of Campus Recreation won’t just oversee programs and facilities, they’ll help shape the student experience for thousands of Eagles. If you know someone who is passionate about Student Affairs, student development, wellbeing, community, and leadership, we’d love your help getting this opportunity in front of them. 

🦅♥️🦅 ♥️

Thunderstorm season reminder from your Dean of Stu Thunderstorm season reminder from your Dean of Students team! ⛈️⚡️

EWU friends — if the skies start throwing lightning, thunder, hail, sideways rain, and main character energy…please make good choices 😂 

A few storm survival life skills:
⚡️ If you can hear thunder, head inside
🔋Keep your phone, computer, and backup battery packs charged
📲Have the EagleSafe App downloaded on your phone and make sure you are signed up for EWU Alerts through @ewupolicedepartment https://inside.ewu.edu/police/ewu-alerts/
🚗 Don’t drive through flooded roads
🌳 Avoid trees, metal poles, and “this should be fine” decisions
🐶 Bring pets inside too (Hoonah approves this message)
🛋️ Cozy indoor plans > becoming a weather story on TikTok

College is about learning…including how not to get taken out by a surprise hailstorm.

Take care of yourselves, grab some snacks, have a flashlight handy if power goes out, check in on your friends, and remember: Eagles look out for Eagles!

PUP-date from the Dean of Students crew 🐾 Miss PUP-date from the Dean of Students crew 🐾

Miss Hoonah has officially completed her training and has gone through an extensive process with amazing support from campus leadership (@drj_students1st) to be approved to spend time on campus loving on students, faculty, staff, and visitors ❤️🦅❤️🦅!

While she won’t be around every day, you’ll definitely start seeing her more regularly around EWU. And yes… you are absolutely welcome to say hello because her training is literally centered around loving humans and making people smile.

Meanwhile… Togiak the Terror is now 15 weeks old and currently focused on mastering important life skills like blowing bubbles in his water dish and causing absolute chaos in the cutest way possible. 😂 It’s going to be a WILD training ride with this one, but we’re hopeful he’ll eventually join his big sister on campus too.

Big dog life at EWU continues. 

🐾🦅❤️🦅🐾

P.S. -you can invite Hoonah to your club meetings or events and if we can make it, we will! Just reach out!

Mike and I celebrated the week by giving back which has been something that’s been part of our story from the start, including supporting EWU students. While neither of us graduated from EWU, we have turned into Eagles 4 Life because of the incredible students and @ewualumni we have had the opportunity to cheer on over the years! 

Grateful for a partner who makes life fun, meaningful, and a little adventurous.

Togiak (12 weeks, chaos coordinator) + Hoonah (6 years, wise queen) took on their first coffee run this morning…

10/10 vibes, 2 pup cups, and at least 12 new besties made.

Moral of the story: start your day with good coffee and even better company! Don’t be afraid to bring a little joyful energy wherever you go ♥️🦅♥️🦅
