Eagles - Stay Connected on the Prescott Campus
From physically distanced “escape rooms” to movie and trivia nights, Embry-Riddle is ramping up its student engagement efforts to keep students connected with each other and the school. On the university’s Prescott, Arizona campus, the student engagement team continues to line up many fun social events for students. In addition, almost 20 Career Services opportunities are on the calendar between now and early November.
“Even as we wear our face coverings and remain physically distanced, we should also be forging connections with classmates and peers,” said Embry-Riddle President P. Barry Butler. “Your community is here for you. Reach out for it. At the same time, don’t forget to keep looking ahead to a bright post-pandemic future by taking advantage of Embry-Riddle’s many career services opportunities.”
Prescott Campus Chancellor Dr. Anette Karlsson agreed. “I’m so proud of the overwhelming majority of students who are making good choices and staying safe,” she said. “I would also like to thank all employees as well as students who are working hard to provide engaging social and career opportunities for students.”
Designated Exercise Areas
Designated exercise areas on the Prescott Campus also allow students to remove their face coverings, stay healthy and blow off steam, so long as they keep their distance from others. Review themap of designated exercise areas on the Prescott Campus. Face coverings must be worn to and from the designated exercise areas.
Campus Social Events & Clubs
A fun array of student activities are planned by the Prescott Campus Student Engagement team.
In addition, student clubs and organizations listed on ERNIE are a great way to become more connected, and there’s something for everyone – whether a student’s passion is aviation, music, satellites or unmanned systems.

Students Urged to Ask for Help if Needed
Embry-Riddle students have repeatedly been urged to reach out for help if they need it at this time. Health officials have noted that major disease outbreaks can cause feelings of loneliness and isolation, and trigger or worsen mental health issues and substance abuse. Students should not hesitate to reach out for help – sooner rather than later.
