ECU has had a long working relationship with Enterprise for its vehicle rental needs and utilizes the company for all short-term vehicle rentals. Enterprise also hires more students from ECU than any other school in North Carolina and has more than 100 Pirate alumni as employees.
“Enterprise Holdings takes pride in the partnership we share with ECU, not only fulfilling ground transportation needs across the university, but working with Career Services and recruiting ECU graduates to work for our company and excel through our management trainee program,” said Nina Gladysiewski, a transportation consultant at Enterprise.
“Our relationship is a true partnership. Enterprise is heavily involved in the success of our students after graduation,” added Adam Denney, associate director of employer relations at ECU.
Of the $6,500, $5,000 will go to ECU Career Services with the remaining $1,500 slated for the ECU Educational Foundation (Pirate Club).
