Eastern Student Entertainment (ESE) is a student organization that provides campus-wides wide programming for all EOU students. The programming board serves as a large programming unit of EOU by providing cultural, recreational, and social activities for the campus. ESE members are active in conception, planning, and implementation of these programs.

ESE receives most of its funding from student incidental fees (SIF). Through committee work, ESE decides how to spend that money and what events/performers come to campus. Because of extra expenses, some ESE programs have minimal admission charges to help support the overall program.
