Pantherpalooza, an Eastern tradition that occurs each year, is the first opportunity for students to join RSOs that interest them. Hundreds of organizations set up booths around the South Quad so new students can quickly connect with people who share their interests. Student organizations create excitement and vibrancy on Eastern’s campus through their countless events and activities. These events reflect the culture, personality, and diversity of the student body and student organizations. Student organization events educate, inform, entertain, and enrich the university community. Student leaders and volunteers have the opportunity to learn and grow through the process of planning and running these events and activities. Pantherpalooza 2025 has officially been set for Saturday, August 23rd. It will be held in the South Quad from 11AM-2PM. Rain Location is the MLK Jr Union GBR & UBR. Questions?
