Chancellor Rogers' Message, December 2024

To the Pirate Nation family:

Looking back on 2024 and all that we have accomplished during this remarkable year, I am inspired by the ground we have covered in striving toward our mission — from earning national recognitions to making tangible differences in the lives of people here in eastern North Carolina.

Our colleges and schools have observed milestones, met goals and received honors that together tell the story of ECU and its talented community. We are a university with many strengths and the achievements we have celebrated are because of the spirit and energy that each of you brings to our classrooms, clinics, offices, labs and spaces where you work, learn and transform lives.

This year-end video includes a sampling of highlights from a memorable and prosperous 2024. Let’s build on the momentum of these successes and carry them into the new year — when we will continue our efforts toward being a national model for student success, public service and regional transformation.

Philip G. Rogers
Chancellor
