Campus Life
Campus Activities and Organizations
There are several student organizations
on campus and, as interest increases, new
organizations may be formed. Student extra-
curricular involvement develops leadership,
cooperative and service skills, rounds out
one's education, and provides a much needed
constructive diversion from academic stresses.
Every student is urged to become an active
member of the student body. Faculty and staff
advisors are assigned to each college-sponsored
club or activity.
ADULT STUDENT PEER COUNSELORS:
This group
assists in the successful transition and student
development of adults returning to school.
Special educational programming, monthly
support groups, and special activities geared
toward adult students are provided. All newly
entering/returning students are eligible and
encouraged to participate in these activities.
ART CLUB:
The EWC Art Club is an organization
for students who love the visual arts, whether
they have professional or amateur interests. The
club works together to engage in and organize
more extensive and intensive experiences in
the visual arts. This group organizes enriching
activities including field trips to museums and
art communities, workshops, visiting artists,
and collaboration with other creative disciplines.
There will be no priority established based on
style, content, media, or individual interests in
art; all interested students are welcome.
BLOCK AND BRIDLE CLUB:
Block and Bridle
Club, formerly known as the Ag Club, is a
nationally recognized organization offered at
numerous junior colleges and universities.
Many of the members are involved in animal
science studies, but all students involved with
agriculture are encouraged to join. The club
participates in events with other Block and Bridle
Chapters, sponsors social activities, and travels to
educational seminars such as The Range Beef Cow
Symposium. One advantage of joining Block and
Bridle is that your membership transfers to any
other school that you attend that participates in
Block and Bridle.
On-Campus Housing
On-campus housing provides students with an
opportunity to easily meet individuals from a
variety of backgrounds, to establish lifetime
friendships, and to participate in a variety of
social and educational activities. We believe
that this experience in community living is both
enjoyable and rewarding for students, as well as
being convenient and economical.
Eastern Wyoming College has two residence
halls on campus; Eastern Hall and Lancer Hall.
Eastern Hall has double occupancy rooms with
community bathrooms for men and women
on separate floors, as well as 2 bedroom (four-
student) suites which share a bathroom. Lancer
Hall has 2 bedroom (four-student) suites which
share a bathroom. Basic cable television and
Internet service is provided in each living
space as is local telephone service. (Telephone
instruments are NOT provided.) Free use of
washers and dryers is available in each building.
In addition, Eastern Hall has a lounge with a
television, DVD, Wii, refrigerator and microwave
on each floor, and a game room in the basement.
Lancer Hall has lounges and study rooms in each
wing and a kitchen in the Atkins Commons area.
Housing staff resides in each residence hall.
Professional and student staff members are
trained to assist students with concerns relating
to their total college experience.
To enable the college to offer students the best
food service possible at reasonable costs, the
college requires all students who reside on
campus to participate in a meal plan. Food
Services offers a full meal plan of 17 meals per
week along with two other plans that offer 14
meals per week or 10 meals per week; the last
two have Munch Money that can be used in the
Cafeteria or Student Center. The housing and
food service charges are included under a single
contract. Exceptions to the meal plan such as
work conflict, religious reasons, class conflicts,
vegetarian, weight loss, or health-related diets are
not made. For further information concerning
student housing, contact the Director of
Residence Life.
