Student Affairs at East Carolina University creates transformational experiences beyond the classroom.  Our commitment to student success through meaningful relationships provides cultural and educational opportunities, leadership experiences, and a focus on service.  The Division of Student Affairs impacts every aspect of a student’s daily life to guide them from their very first step on campus through graduation and beyond.  Our passion for the Pirate Nation is unmatched in North Carolina and around the world.

Significant financial support is necessary to ensure the growth and development of the Division of Student Affairs at East Carolina University. This support can be garnered from informed, interested and invested individuals who feel involved in the Division’s goals and direction.
