Pirate Family:

Welcome back to the one and only East Carolina University and the Pirate Nation! It is the hope of our administration that the hospitality of our campus community makes you feel right at home throughout your academic career. As the fastest growing institution in the state, East Carolina prides itself on leadership, research, and service—leading the way as being the University for North Carolina.  

The mission of the Student Government Association is to “Enhance the Total Student Experience” through promoting diversity, protecting the student welfare, and fostering a positive student image. In our efforts to make ourselves more visible, accessible, and accountable, we invite each of you to visit your SGA student leadership in the Student Government Office, located in 101 Mendenhall Student Center.

This upcoming year is full of great promise and opportunity for the Student Government. Our Chancellor Ballard believes it is important to hear from the students.  He wants to hear our hopes, aspirations, and concerns for a better campus. Under his leadership we are assured an audience with the administration, the Board of Trustees, City Council and the Greater Greenville community. As partners, we will work together to uphold the rights of our student body.

Therefore, in order for us to continue to discover, design and deliver our great Student Government to even greater heights, we need YOU. Please seize this opportunity to make the best of your collegiate experience and to make a difference at our university. By taking full advantage of the resources being presented to you as a Cabinet Member, Class Council Member, Congressman, Judicial Board Member, or even a concerned student, you will take part in “Enhancing the Total Student Experience.” Keep in mind that you, as a student, have the right for your voice to be heard and this is the best way to do that!

So, please join our team as we set sail on this journey to promote diversity, protect the student welfare, and foster a positive student image at East Carolina University.  It is said, that to be a Pirate at ECU you must be able to rise to a challenge, overcome adversity, and move onward; which is exactly what you can do! Your tomorrow starts here today!
