Eastern Arizona is a public community college. Founded as
St. Joseph Stake Academy in 1888, it provided education for
the youth of the Gila Valley from 1890 until 1933. The institution
introduced junior college courses in the early 1920s.
On March 25, 1933, it became a public county institution
under the authority of the Arizona State School Code and was
renamed Gila Junior College. On July 1, 1950, the name of
the College was changed from Gila Junior College to Eastern
Arizona Junior College.
In 1962, the College became the first official state junior
college in the newly formed Arizona State System of Community
and Junior Colleges. In 1966, the word "Junior"
was dropped from the name of the institution.
EAC Alumni Association
The Eastern Arizona College Alumni Association was organized
by President Emil Maeser, fourth President (1898-1903) of
the Latter-day Saint Academy during the spring term in 1900.
The EAC Alumni Association has played a significant role in the history of
Eastern Arizona College. Beginning with Old Main, down through the present-day
Middle Campus Expansion, Eastern's alumni have contributed to the growth and
development of the College.
Today, the hundred-year old Alumni Association boasts a membership of over
25,000 individuals. The Alumni Association has a Board of Directors and
three standing committees to assist in fulfilling its purposes. The Alumni
Association provides scholarships, reunions and other alumni events to support
current students and alumni.
Together, we are building a bright and vibrant future for
all who come and experience Eastern Arizona College.
