Reunions at East Carolina allow alumni to return to campus, reconnect with friends and classmates, and rekindle memories, friendships, and good feelings about East Carolina. Affinity Reunions are a gathering of a group (or groups) of alumni based on their involvement with a particular group, experience or common connection (i.e. Greek Life, Marching Pirates, clubs, etc.). Class-based Reunions is a gathering of alumni based on their graduation year (i.e. Class of 2000). Traditionally the 50th Golden Alumni Reunion is held in the spring during Commencement weekend.
The East Carolina Alumni Association is happy to work with classes or groups wishing to celebrate reunions. Reunions can be planned throughout the year, according to participant schedules and availability. If you have an idea for an affinity reunion and would like to help bring your classmates back to campus, please contact the Alumni Center at 800-ECU-GRAD or
alumni@PirateAlumni.com.
