OctoberWest, Prescott Campus’s homecoming week, is an event you won’t want to miss. Aeronautical Science major Julie Zembruski’s (’23) favorite part of OctoberWest is the Friday Fair, featuring fun activities for everyone: inflatable games, live music, food trucks and more.
“I love seeing all the planes and meeting Embry-Riddle alumni at the annual air show,” said Aerospace Engineering major William Baca III (’23).
For Baca, anything hosted by the Student Government Association and Board of Campus Activities is a must. One of his favorites in particular has been the roaring 20s-themed casino night.
“My friends and I were the best dressed ones who attended that event,” he said.
Wondering where to hang out? Some of our students’ favorite spots on campus include the Scholars Café, the Jack R. Hunt Student Union and Amphitheater, the remote control airfield and of course – the flight line.
“I have met so many new faces and friends over the past two years attending these campus events,” Baca said.
Students also enjoy attending our many athletics events, like soccer and volleyball games. Josh McBeth (’24) is an Aerospace Engineering major and member of the men’s soccer team.
“I really like the atmosphere,” he said about attending athletic events. Aside from playing in his own games, he also supports the Eagles in several other sports.
Several student organizations host events open to the entire student body. Ever wanted to learn how to ride a Onewheel board? The Onewheel Floatin’ Eagles can teach you.
There are dozens of clubs and organizations open to all students, plus the opportunity to start a new club of your own. Some of the campus’s newest additions include American Sign Language Club and a chapter of the Professional Asian Pilots Association.
