Some VERY good visitors on campus this week. 🐶💙

We wrapped up Wellness Week with puppy yoga today, because sometimes taking care of yourself means putting everything else on hold to hang out with some dogs.

🐾 Thank you, @doggynosesandyogaposes for bringing the pups and zen to campus!

An Eastern alum is helping bring a potential ALS treatment one step closer to patients. 💙

Marc Freeman ’93 is at the forefront of research into neurological diseases like ALS, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. His team's discoveries have helped advance an experimental drug into human clinical trials focused on ALS. 🧬 🔬

Now one of the nation's leading neurobiologists and a 2026 inductee into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Freeman returned to Eastern to share his journey.

And here's what makes his story even more remarkable: He never took a neuroscience course at Eastern. It was the mentorship of two Eastern professors that helped set his career in motion.

Read more about his research and the Eastern roots behind it on Inside Eastern! 🔗 in bio.

Why is Iceland consistently ranked among the happiest countries in the world? 🇮🇸

This June, 20 Eastern psychology students traveled there to find out.

They learned about Iceland’s mental health care system, visited free counseling services for young people and spoke with a mental health specialist at the country’s Directorate of Health.

They also looked at the role nature plays in well-being, with coursework taking them to hot springs, waterfalls, a black sand beach, a lava tunnel and the top of Eldfell Volcano. 🌋

“I realized I can do hard things, even when I believe I would never do them,” said junior psychology major Jenna Moore after climbing Eldfell Volcano.

Psychology class in Iceland? Adding that one to the Eastern bucket list. ✈️ More on their trip can be found using the 🔗 in bio!
