Unexpected Blessings

In many ways, Palmer Seminary's move to Eastern University’s main campus in St. Davids two years ago was a full-circle moment. Over 90 years ago, the Seminary was born and out of it grew what today is Eastern University.

Top 5 Favorite Places on Campus

It’s no secret that Eastern’s charming campus leaves a lasting impression. Through social media and a dining commons poll, we surveyed our current students and alumni in order to find out their favorite places on campus and what makes them so special.

When a Computer is Your Classroom

Can Eastern’s legacy of transformative, community-based Christian education translate to the world of online learning?

The power of place and its ability to shape us is the main focus of our new issue of Eastern Magazine. This semester, we surveyed our students to see which places on campus have been the most influential. Take a look at the Top 5 Favorite Places on Campus and see if your favorite spot made the list (link in bio)!
