Twenty Greenville/Pitt County residents to be honored at ECU 2018 Corporate and Leadership Awards Banquet
The East Carolina University Division of Student Affairs will host the fourth annual Corporate and Leadership Awards banquet March 24 at 7 p.m. at the Greenville Convention Center.
The recipients of the 2018 Class of 40 Under 40 Leadership Awards will be recognized at the banquet. These outstanding alumni under the age of 40 have excelled following graduation from ECU and are now using their experience to make an impact in their respective professions, local communities and the world.
Thirty of the 40 Under 40 recipients call North Carolina home, including ECU baseball coach Cliff Godwin and 19 other recipients living in Greenville and Pitt County. The complete list of recipients is below.
ECU alumnus Michael Aho will deliver the keynote address at the banquet. Aho earned his communication degree with a concentration in public relations from ECU in 2002 before going to work in international relations with the federal government. He has been recognized with ECU’s Outstanding Alumni Award, Distinguished Alumnus Award, and was a member of the inaugural class of 40 Under 40 Leadership Award recipients in 2015.
In addition, corporate and community partners who have made significant contributions to ECU and its students, as well as individuals who serve as advocates for student affairs, will be recognized with the Vice Chancellor’s Advocacy Awards, the Outstanding Corporate Partner Award and the Career Services IMPACT Award.
