the clock. We’re launching a grand renovation of our historic student union,

the first union west of the Mississippi. The renovation work will begin in 2010

and will continue through 2012. It will be completed in phases so that your “campus

living room” will be always available!

Students gather their ingredients for ESU’s Top Chef competition in April hosted by the Union Activities Council (UAC).

ESU offers over 140 recognized student organizations.


The residence halls at ESU offer the perfect setting for your successful introduction to campus life for two main reasons: convenience and support.
