Welcome to Eastman Connects! In a time where we are all confined to our homes, Eastman Connects is a way to bring everyone together. This social media project gives our Eastman community the opportunity to engage, while highlighting the talents and strengths of our students, faculty, alumni and community. Together we’ll show that while the world is on pause, the music continues here at Eastman.
