ECU Plans Moving Ahead for New Student Centers

East Carolina University is moving forward with plans to build two new student centers – one on main campus and one on the health sciences campus – to provide socializing space for a larger student body and to better meet student organization needs.

ECU’s Board of Trustees gave administrators permission to move ahead with the design phase for the project at their regular meeting Feb. 22. The vote was unanimous.

“We've outgrown the current facility,” said Dr. Virginia Hardy, vice chancellor for Student Affairs. “A new student center has been discussed for the past 10 years. This new facility will be the living room of the campus where all members of the campus community – including alumni – can gather. It will welcome visitors, prospective students and the community, and provide a vibrant atmosphere for students to see and be seen." (read Kathryn Kennedy's full story)

ECU Unveils Student Memorial Garden
East Carolina University unveiled the brand new Student Memorial Garden on Feb. 22, 2013. The garden is a memorial to all the fallen ECU students who died while attending East Carolina. The names of the 100 students who have died in the past year were read aloud at a special ceremony on campus.

Families who had lost students, current students, ECU faculty, staff, Board of Trustees and administrators filled Cynthia's Lounge in the Mendenhall Student Center for the ceremony. In the memorial garden, located outside Mendenhall Student Center between the Bloxton House and Erwin Building, is a sculpture designed by current ECU student Donald "Trey" Martin III.

Following the ceremony, those in attendance watched the unveiling of the sculpture in the garden. (Watch photo slideshow from the ceremony)
