Student Organizations

Student officers and faculty/staff advisors guide organizations and clubs in accordance with the purpose of the groups and within the framework of University policy. 

CROSSwalk. Student-led, CROSSwalk provides opportunities for Christian witness both on campus and in the community.  Traveling teams minister in churches, assist in foreign and home missions services and conduct ministry trips during fall, spring and summer breaks. 

Evangel Student Government Association (ESGA). All registered students are members of the ESGA, which consists of two branches—Senate and Activities Board. By means of elected representatives, Senate provides a coordinated means for student initiative in enhancing University life and college policies. Activities Board (AB) plans and implements a wide variety of student social events.  The ESGA Executive Committee, comprised of the executive officers from both Senate and AB, is chaired by the ESGA President, who is elected annually by the student body at large.  Overarching goals of ESGA include facilitating student leadership development and promoting cooperative ventures between the student body and University administration.

Student Media. The University sponsors three publications: a weekly newspaper (The Lance), a yearbook (Excalibur), and an annual literary/art magazine (Epiphany).  These publications provide excellent opportunities for students to use and develop journalistic skills and creative expression. The publications have consistently won national awards for excellence in their respective categories.  The Lance and Excalibur are part of the Department of Communication.  Content of Epiphany is selected by a panel of student editors which review entries. In addition, the University sponsors four electronic media outlets produced by students under the advisement of Communication faculty. 

Evangel Cable Television (ECTV) broadcasts to campus and the City of Springfield via cable.  KECC, the closed-circuit FM campus radio station, broadcasts music, news, weather, and sports.  Crusadermedia.com is a student-designed website featuring all the student media; EU Films is the student film organization that produces a feature film each semester. Students may apply to be on staff or volunteer with these student organizations.
