Have questions for ECU’s deans? Ask them at these virtual town halls

The Virtual Town Hall Series: Dialogue with the Deans begins Sept. 10.

The ECU Alumni Association will host the Virtual Town Hall Series: Dialogue with the Deans throughout September for people to learn more about what’s happening at ECU’s various colleges.

In each town hall, deans will discuss how they are navigating education during the pandemic, highlight their college’s successes and share their plans for the future. Participants are encouraged to submit questions and share their thoughts in these engaging discussions. The online events will be via Zoom, are open to the public and are free to register.

“Our hope is that this new initiative increases communication and visibility between ECU leadership and the Pirate community. Dialogue with the Deans is a fantastic opportunity to engage with the heads of different university colleges and ask questions, share input and stay connected to ECU,” said Scott Francis, associate vice chancellor for alumni relations.
