Students Today

Hurry the Colonel Crew Application closes at midnight on April 14! This engaging leadership opportunity allows you to positively impact first-year students as they embark on their college experience during the Big E Welcome, August 16-20, 2017.
Colonel Crew Leaders lead the way in this initiative by leading a small group of first-year students through dynamic programming, discussions, and experiences during the Big E Welcome. Big E Welcome helps first-year students build their Colonel spirit, make meaningful connections to EKU students and staff, and prepares them for their experience inside and outside the classroom.
In addition to the opportunity to make a positive impact on the university and first-year students, Colonel Crew Leaders will receive the following: early move-in, meals during training and Big E Welcome, EKU swag, and numerous transferable skills and resume builders.
