It Just Takes One

IJTO is an internal campaign for ECU faculty and staff.  There are two facets to this campaign which include (1) an article once a month highlighting a student story about the positive impact of an ECU employee on that student’s experience, and (2) graduating seniors identifying “the person at ECU who made the most significant positive contribution to his/her education.”  The purpose of this campaign is to recognize how one person can make a difference in a student’s life.



Starfish

Starfish is a retention tool that provides faculty with a means to alert students to their academic status, both positive and negative.  This system also allows for a communication piece to provide information to advisors, counselors, tutoring and residence personnel ensuring that the people on campus who can intervene on behalf of student success are aware.
