TRISHA HARSHBERGER – ADVISOR
Graduating College: Eastern Oregon University, Bachelor of Music, 2009 Hometown: Albany, Oregon Why do you work at EOU?As a student, I loved my experiences at EOU and in the community. I want to continue living in an area of Oregon that I love and help other students find Eastern so they have the opportunity to create fond memories in our valley! Favorite memory of EOU: Fall term of my freshman year, there were five of us friends sitting in the common area of Dorion Hall (now Dorion Park) just laughing! I don’t remember how it started but once we all started laughing we couldn’t stop and it lasted for at least a half-hour. I’m an ambassador advisor because… I get to work with a great group of students who love Eastern just as much as I do!
