Eastern takes pride in its 30,000 living alums, some of whom attended when it was known as the Willimantic State Teachers College over 60 years ago. Despite changes in its name, the addition of new buildings, and an increase in student population, Eastern has remained a community of learners bound by shared values and a unified educational experience. The university maintains strong ties with its alums through social gatherings, professional networking, and alumni services. Furthermore, Eastern's alumni support current students through scholarship funds, internship placements, mentorships, and other forms of assistance.
