This annual celebration provides an opportunity to recognize publicly the accomplishments of Eastern's extraordinarily talented and dedicated faculty. Faculty research, scholarship, and creative work is often invisible, and by bringing that work forward, we celebrate our faculty and hope to spark ideas and connections as you learn more about one another’s work. From analyses of feminist writers to ethnomusicology to direction of theatre productions to new techniques for studying scorpion venom, the work of Eastern’s faculty is wide-ranging and innovative. The teacher-scholar model exemplified by our faculty is at the heart of our institution and aligns closely with Eastern’s liberal arts mission. Indeed, much of the work we are celebrating today has been made stronger by the scholarly community at Eastern: it is interdisciplinary, inspired by shared interests, and created in collaboration with other faculty and/or students. Faculty, we are grateful for all that you do, and we are so fortunate to have you here at Eastern.

Eastern sociology Professor Nicolas Simon participated in a “Digital Learning Week” Sept. 8-11, hosted at the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO’s) Paris, France headquarters.
Twenty-five years after an Eastern Connecticut State University student and professor successfully lobbied for the beautification and naming of a Willimantic pocket park, the University fittingly hosted its silver anniversary on Sept. 26. The celebration of Julia de Burgos Park brought together poetry, music, history, and community members to honor a public space dedicated to a prolific but often overlooked poet.
When Sara Carroll and Sarah Walters met at a public health conference years ago, they never expected to see each other again. Now the two have neighboring offices in Eastern’s Department of Health Sciences and Nursing, where the duo leads the University’s public health concentration with love, laughter, and persistence.
