It is my pleasure to welcome you back to campus for the 2009 ECTC and ECC Alumni Reunion honoring the Golden Alumni Class of 1959. I hope you’ll be able to join your fellow classmates and the East Carolina Alumni Association during Homecoming 2009: 100 Years of Treasured Traditions. The weekend is full of fun activities, including the Homecoming Luncheon, Classroom Experiences, tours of campus, the Alumni Awards Ceremony and Dinner, Alumni Breakfast, parade watching, a special reunion photo, Alumni Tailgate, Pirates Football, and of course the traditional ECTC and ECC Alumni Reunion Dinner Dance featuring The Collegians and honoring the graduates of 1959.

If you have not been back to campus lately, I encourage you to come back to your alma mater and see how she continues to grow. ECU currently offers 104 bachelor’s degree programs, 73 master’s degree programs, 18 doctoral degree programs, and first-professional degree programs in medicine and dentistry. From modest beginnings as a school for training teachers, ECU has grown to become an emerging national research university with an enrollment of nearly 28,000 students and continues to fulfill its mission of teaching, research, and service.

I hope you’ll make plans to attend the 2009 ECTC and ECC Alumni Reunion honoring the Golden Alumni Class of 1959 today, and I look forward to seeing you in the fall.

GO PIRATES!
