Catalyst for Change

Eastern Washington University (EWC) is located in Cheney, WA, just 16 mi. from Spokane. It was founded in 1882 by a $10,000 grant from Benjamin Pierce Cheney and originally named the Benjamin P. Cheney Academy to honor its founder. Throughout the decades, the institution has undergone several name changes; in 1977, the university was given the name used today by the Washington State Legislature.                   ‒ w i nter 2 0 2 1 - 2 2
