EKU x 100: A History of Eastern in 100 Objects, People, and Places
Item 15 of 43
When you leave EKU, will you ever come back? Each year, alumni return to their alma mater to reminisce and meet with old colleagues. For years, they met in the Adams House, the old Alumni Center. Now they meet in what used to be the home of Eastern’s presidents, Blanton House. EKU has a dazzling array of alumni, from teachers and actors to FBI agents and pilots. Not only do alumni get to celebrate their time at EKU, but the University celebrates alumni, as well. EKU is always looking for graduates to induct into the EKU Hall of Distinguished Alumni.
