We, the Pirates of East Carolina University, support the "BOLD PROMISE." We understand, accept, and are committed to creating and maintaining an environment that fosters diversity. The university defines diversity in a broad context to include the representation, integration and interaction of different races, ethnicities, cultures, national origins, abilities, religions, orientations, intellectual positions and perspectives. We value each other and our differences and will continue to transcend the culture and climate of our university while maintaining respect for all Pirate students, staff, and faculty.
