2019 ECU 40 Under 40 Leadership Awards Banquet honors recipients
The East Carolina University Division of Student Affairs hosted the fifth annual 40 Under 40 Leadership Awards banquet March 23 in ECU’s new Main Campus Student Center.
The recipients of the 2019 Class of 40 Under 40 are outstanding ECU alumni under the age of 40 who have excelled following graduation and are now using their experience to make an impact in their respective professions, local communities and around the world.
Student Affairs started the 40 Under 40 Leadership Awards in April 2015 and the event is now a collaborative partnership between Student Affairs and the ECU Alumni Association.
“This is an amazing group of alumni leading as only Pirates can do,” said Virginia Hardy, vice chancellor for student affairs. “We proudly celebrate these men and women who are pursuing their professional passion, leading positive change in their communities and demonstrating leadership, service and excellence at every level.”
Thirty-four of the 40 Under 40 recipients call North Carolina home with other recipients coming from Virginia, South Carolina, New York and Louisiana. The complete list of recipients is below.
