Eastern Washington University (EWU) is a public
university in Cheney, Washington, with programs offered at campuses
in Cheney, EWU Spokane at the Riverpoint Campus and at
multiple campus locations throughout the state.
Founded in 1882, the university is academically divided
into six colleges: Arts, Letters & Education; Business & Public
Administration; Science, Technology, Engineering &
Mathematics; Social Sciences; Health Science & Public
Health; and University College.
As of fall 2014, Eastern Washington University enrolled over 13,000 graduate and undergraduate students at both its Cheney and Spokane campuses.
The city of Cheney, then known as Depot Springs,
was surveyed in 1880 along the tracks of the Northern Pacific Railroad;
expressman Benjamin Pierce Cheney was a member of that railroad's
board of directors. Officials renamed the city for Cheney by October 1880,
prompting him to donate $10,000 to establish the Benjamin P. Cheney
Academy in 1882 on an 8-acre (3.2 ha) site at present-day
Showalter Hall. At the time, the school was a private institution losing pupils
to the competing public school district; after Washington was admitted to
the union in 1889, the Enabling Act allowed the establishment of normal
schools in the new state and in 1890 the school was renamed the State
Normal School at Cheney to train future elementary school teachers.
The first class of teachers began their studies on October 13, 1890, under the
administration of W. W. Gillette (principal) and William J.
Sutton (vice principal).
