Eastern is proud of its 30,000 living alumni, some of whom went to Eastern when it was still the Willimantic State Teachers College more than 60 years ago. Throughout its name changes, new buildings and student population growth, Eastern has remained a family of learners connected by shared values and a common educational experience. Eastern continues to maintain close connections with its alumni through social events, professional networking and alumni services. At the same time, Eastern alumni support current students through scholarship funds, internship placements and other assistance.

Alumni Testimonials

Cornell University

Quanece Williams ’16

Quanece earned her law degree at Cornell and works for a law firm in New York City. “My Eastern experience was transformative. As a student, I took rigorous courses, conducted research, served as a teacher’s assistant, and went on a global field course to Europe. I learned to think critically, seize new opportunities and strengthen my leadership skills.”

ESPN

Ryan Gable ’22

Ryan is a content associate at ESPN producing video and graphic elements for the ACC Network. He makes montages, highlights and graphics that tell many different stories of athletes, teams and games. “I enjoy every minute that I’m a part of ESPN as this has always been my passion ever since I was a little kid. Eastern prepared me for fast-paced environments and most importantly, sports storytelling.”
