Eastern University has launched Studio 1300, a 24/7 student-run radio station broadcasting from the St. Davids campus and available to listeners everywhere.

Eastern is pleased to share the Topping Out of the Templeton Hall project, marking the completion of structural work on the new facility.

Leaders leave legacies. Since its founding, Eastern has been blessed by transformative leaders who have guided and directed the institution while remaining faithful to its lasting mission.

Eastern’s 100-year history is built upon a vision that began with the founding of Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary (EBTS), whose legacy continues to shape the institution today.

"We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us.” These words, uttered by Winston Churchill during debates about rebuilding the House of Commons, capture truths central to environmental psychology and the phenomenology of space: architecture both embodies and shapes our beliefs and practices.

On March 19, 1925, at two in the afternoon, six ministers gathered at 1701 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia to discuss their shared vision of Christ-centered, world-changing education.

Celebrating a century of inspiring change and shaping futures, Eastern University highlights its many vibrant academic programs and their legacies of nurturing and empowering inquisitive minds. Each of our academic colleges serves not just as a hub of knowledge and learning, but as nurturers of invention and creativity. In our colleges, students and faculty collaborate to transform bold ideas into meaningful action, challenging the status quo, and molding the future of our university and our world.

Our Eastern University alumni represent over 90 countries throughout the world.

The motto of Faith, Reason, and Justice, coined by President David Black, has served Eastern as an identity marker for over 20 years and continues to shape the mission of our institution.

For over a century, Eastern University’s campus has been more than historic buildings and pathways—it has been a foundation for personal growth, lifelong friendships, and dreams that have changed the world.
