Message from Director
It’s time to celebrate the transformative power of vision and generosity. As we commemorate
the 10-year anniversary of the Eastin Center for Career Readiness, we pay homage to
a decade of pioneering excellence made possible by the remarkable contribution and
unwavering support of the Eastin family.
Embedded within our ethos is the essence of career readiness – a philosophy that infuses
our students with vital skills, an unwavering mindset and preparedness crucial for
triumph in the intricate tapestry of the professional world. It embodies our commitment
not just to produce job seekers, but to empower future trailblazers and innovators
poised to leave an indelible mark.
As we revel in this monumental milestone, we celebrate not only a decade of accomplishments
but the profound impact on students who venture into the world armed with the invaluable
gifts of confidence, skills and resilience. It would not have been possible without
the generosity and vision of the Eastin family and the enduring legacy of the Eastin
Center.
