Rooted to Grow

If Eastern were a tree, what would our roots be? Ask many people in our community and they would quickly reply, “Faith, Reason, and Justice.” These three words, known as Eastern’s motto, encompass our core values as a university. Since our founding in 1925, we have been inspired by our faith, passionate about learning, and committed to making a difference locally and globally.

His focus was on the pursuit of a law degree and the burning passion to make a difference as a human rights lawyer.
