Website Updated - January 2012
As of mid-January 2012, we've made a few significant updates to the Project STEPP website. If you've visited the site before, we recommend taking a look around to see what's new. In addition to posting the application materials for 2013, we've redesigned our staff page, added more resources to the related links, updated the news and events, and made a few other cosmetic and functional changes. It's still a work in progress, so please let us know if you have any suggestions or notice anything we've missed!

2012 Cohort Has Been Selected
Final admissions decisions have been made for the 2012 cohort of Project STEPP. We are currently no longer reviewing new applications for Fall 2012. However, interested students may still submit a 2012 application to be kept on file in case any vacancies arise. Please be aware that late applications for 2012 will expire on May 1, 2012. After that date, no changes to the 2012 cohort will be possible.

Spring Open House - Saturday, April 14, 2012
The next ECU Open House will be held on Saturday, April 14, 2012. In conjunction with this event, Project STEPP is inviting students, parents, and educators to join us to learn more about our program.
The schedule will be as follows:
- From 9:30 am until noon, you can visit the Project STEPP booth at the Student Affairs Fair to pick up informational flyers and chat briefly with a program representative.
- Between 1:00 and 3:00 pm, the Project STEPP office will be open. An in-depth information session and question-and-answer period will be held from 1:30-2:30. Before and after this session, you can tour the Project STEPP office and speak with program staff individually.
