If you are like me, Homecoming serves a special place in your heart. Fifteen years ago, Homecoming was my first date with my husband-to-be. It was also my first chance to see how former students show their love of their alma mater. If Homecoming has a special place in your heart, please consider serving on the Alumni Homecoming Committee. As this year's committee chair, I need your input to plan programs and raise awareness of all the great alumni activities that take place during Homecoming. ECU’s Homecoming week is October 8-13, 2012. Committee members will assist with programs and activities throughout the week. Alumni Homecoming Committee planning meetings will take place from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month starting in May. To become a committee member or for more details, please contact Assistant Director for Alumni Programs Stephanie Bunn at Stephanie.Bunn@PirateAlumni.com or 252-328-5775 by Monday May 7, 2012. I look forward to working with you to plan Homecoming 2012! With Pirate Pride, Liz Ellerbe ’01 2012 Alumni Homecoming Committee Chair
