ECU OA: Kenyon Parrish

Major: Interior merchandising

Hometown: Graham

Why did you choose ECU and what are some things that you love most about ECU? I chose ECU because it isn’t too far from home but it’s far enough for me to learn how to be independent.

What do you remember from your own orientation that made you want to be an OA? I remember the excitement on all the OAs faces and the fact they all seemed so out of their shells made me want to be a part of it all.

How will your experiences shape your approach as an OA? My experiences will help me go into it open minded and with this being my second year I believe I am better prepared than I was last year to help guide future Pirates.

What do you hope incoming students and family members takeaway from orientation? I hope students and families find a home here at ECU and see the campus for everything that it is and more.
