“O Lord, hear my plea for justice.
Listen to my cry for help.
Pay attention to my prayer,
for it comes from honest lips.” (Psalm 17:1) #blackouttuesday

"The continuing events of violence, injustice, and death, based on racism are too prevalent and too ubiquitous. We must intercede, intervene, and interrupt the hatred and bigotry that allow evil to overcome good. Human life is sacred. Black lives matter. Mr. George Floyd’s life matters. He was a coerced martyr and his death is a gruesome testimony. If we believe in God, if we follow Jesus, if we are, in fact, human beings, then we must strive for and present a higher and better way to live with and love our neighbors. It needs to take place at every level: nationally, in our communities, at Eastern University, and in each of us. Racism is not just sad. It is wrong, unacceptable, and intolerable. Racism grieves God and represents the work of anti-Christ. It requires address and change.” Read more from President Matthews' letter to the community and join us for a day of Day of Grief, Lament, and Hope for our Nation on June 5: www.eastern.edu/news/grief-lament-hope (link in bio)

“what a strange thing, to reach the end of something that seems like it’s only just begun-
@easternuniversity, you have truly been my home for these past four years. there aren’t enough words to explain the kind of gratitude I have for my school, my community, my family, my source of strength and inspiration ❤️ our community will be able to celebrate together (I hope it is sooner rather than later) in the near future, and I look forward to the many hugs and goodbyes we can share when that time comes.
B.S. in biology (and minor in biochem, and the best job in admissions, and being a TA, and leading the greatest worship teams, and meeting incredible people, and learning so much, and deepening my faith, and growing in immeasurable ways)- check!

what’s next????” #EUGrad20 👏🎓

They’re dedicated, they’re hard working, they’re caring, and they’re some of the first ones to jump up and celebrate when you succeed. This hasn’t been an easy semester for teachers, but they’ve persevered and done what it takes to help their students shine- even if it means needing to do it through Zoom. Join us in honoring our fabulous EU professors and all the teachers in our community for #TeacherAppreciationWeek! We love you teachers! Thank you for all you do! ❤️🍎📚
