Study Rooms

Within most residence halls are open, quiet rooms in which to study.

Vending

All residence halls are serviced with a variety of drink and snack coin operated vending machines.

Social, educational, and service-learning programs are offered and organized by University Housing staff in all residence halls. These programs range from movie nights on the residence hall floors to volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. Most often, the RAs on each floor host social programming so that the residents can get to know each other and enjoy their housing experience more. Many of the University Housing programs are open to all campus residents.

There are multiple residence halls on campus which include male, female, and coed living arrangements:

Male Residence Halls: Commonwealth Hall and Martin Hall
Female Residence Halls: Burnam Hall, McGregor Hall, Telford Hall, and Walters Hall
Coed Residence Halls: Case Hall, Clay Hall, Combs Hall, Dupree Hall, Keene Hall, Palmer Hall, Sullivan Hall, Todd Hall, and Brockton apartments

  STUDENT SERVICES

The Alumni Association

The Eastern Kentucky University National Alumni Association serves as a link between the University and its alumni by maintaining records, fostering communication, and sponsoring programs and activities designed to enhance this relationship.

All Eastern Kentucky University degree recipients and former students with 25 or more credit hours are considered alumni of EKU. The National Alumni Association is served by a board of 26 alumni volunteers who meet three times annually. Their work includes selection of the Alumni Awards, Alumni Scholarship recipients and other duties.

In addition to active Alumni Chapters, the Alumni Association coordinates multiple gatherings across the nation to encourage alumni and friends of EKU to come together.

Other regular Association activities include Alumni Weekend held annually in April and Fall Homecoming. These events bring alumni back to campus to reconnect with their classmates as well as giving the opportunity to see students and learn about our academic programming.

The Alumni Association helps to publish an Alumni Directory, usually every five years. This directory is a compilation of information about alumni including their name, class year, occupation and contact information.
