Welcome to Campus LivingA Word from our Associate Vice Chancellor
Welcome
to East Carolina University and campus living! As the Associate Vice
Chancellor of Campus Living it is my responsibility
to oversee all aspects of the students who live on campus, the places
where they eat, and the transit system that supports the movement both on and off campus students. With fifteen residence halls housing 5,491 students, twenty-seven different food locations serving almost 140,000 people
weekly and a transit system that has over 2 million riders annually….it is a huge responsibility. I am always interested in hearing
from students about ways that we can improve their East Carolina University experience
and want to hear comments from people about ways that we can improve
their daily existence while at ECU. So feel free to send me an email or
stop by Jones hall to share your ideas and experiences with me!

Welcome to Campus Living
Hi folks, I am the Assistant Director of Campus Living for Special Projects and Conduct at East Carolina University. My many "special projects" include work with health, safety, and security including fire and critical incident planning. I am also responsible for managing and addressing community conflicts. Two of my favorite projects are working with the campus living Diversity Education Team and the Campus Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drug Task Force. On my own time, I spend two weekends a year teaching selected legal issues and topics for Duke University's Talent Identification Program. Now, well into my fifth year in North Carolina, I enjoy free-time by writing and re-learning to bake -- one of my favorite television shows is Top Chef. My favorite words to live by are “That we live for nothing if not to make life better for others."
