Orientation Assistant's pose in front of ECU letters New Student Orientation has come to a close! We had a total of 7,696 new students and families join us over the Summer and left feeling excited for the start of new year! This year we had 25 Orientation Assistants and four Orientation Interns that made this cycle run seamlessly.

After reviewing some feedback, here’s a sneak peek at what people are saying:

93% of students agreed that they made the right decision to come to ECU
90% of students agree that they belong at ECU
95% of students rated their Orientation experience as “good” or “excellent”

We had a successful run this Summer and we couldn’t have done it without your support throughout the 5 weeks. Thank you for supporting new students and families and thank you for supporting the Office of Student Transitions!
