The other is Prairie High School of Brush Prairie. We re excited about having this event on campus, said EWU President Stephen M. Jordan. These are some of the nation s best and brightest students, competing in challenging and enjoyable science competition events. The day will be a homecoming of sorts for many EWU graduates. The bookstore will be open, stocked with the latest in T-shirts, sweatshirts and other spirit items.
Visitors are welcome to see the planetarium and the remodeled library and science building.
Eastern alumni who haven t seen the campus in several years will be amazed at how much it s changed, said EWU journalism program director Steve Blewett. The new mall is beautiful with the theme stream that runs down from the steps of the new library. Eastern is the only university in the nation with a biology lab at a national wildlife refuge and is home to the only undergraduate biotechnology program in Washington. The university offers the unique opportunity for undergraduate students to perform original research and present their scholarly work at an annual symposium and national conferences. At Eastern, students get to work directly with highly qualified, senior faculty in the classroom, in the laboratory and in special projects, said Dr. Ray Soltero, dean of the College of Mathematics, Science and Technology.
