Some of the truly great moments in East Carolina’s history are defined by the pursuit of ambitious goals even in the face of difficult circumstances. As we look back at our history, these endeavors stand as landmarks, defining the path of our growth and achievement. To these we now add another, for the remarkable success of our Second Century Campaign now stands among them, pointing the way to a bolder and stronger future for ECU. As is always the case, our success is the result of the dedication and support of our many alumni, friends, faculty, and staff. Our work together has done more than make history; it has shaped the future of this great university. Tomorrow starts here.

When Bill Clark glances up at the picture of the most recent group of Access Scholars that hangs in his office, he knows their ECU experience is possible because of donors who recognized that some students were being left behind. Those donors acknowledged the need for a program that helps students who show potential in the classroom but fall short of being able to fund their education. “It reminds me of the tremendous potential in this generation of students,” said Clark, president and CEO of the East Carolina University Foundation Inc., “and the responsibility we have to provide the opportunity and resources and education for them to succeed.” The foundation’s board recognized a need for such scholarships; during the past five years through the Second Century Campaign, donors gave $1.6 million toward Access Scholarships and another $2 million to establish 10 endowments that will support the awards in perpetuity. This year, they funded 78 scholarships, up from 32 in 2007. The Access Scholarship is worth $5,000 per year for up to four years of undergraduate study. The program is the second-largest scholarship at ECU, both in the number of students supported and in the total amount each student can receive. The retention rate of Access Scholars is 94 percent, remarkable because of the financial hardships the students once faced and overcame because of the generosity of donors. Beyond the numbers, donors have handed Access Scholars opportunities for a better life. “Many students have told us that they cried when they got
4
the letter telling them they were getting the scholarship,” Clark said, “because their families had decided they could not afford to send them to college.” Other students are able to earn those treasured degrees because of scholarships funded through the East Carolina Alumni Association. The association has awarded more than $165,000 in scholarships during the past seven years because friends of the university chose to invest in students. “True Pirates want to see a better ECU for those who follow them,” said Paul Clifford, president and CEO of the association. “Support from alumni ensures a strong ECU today, tomorrow, and forever. Scholarship dollars allow some students to stay in school, and others to study abroad or afford to enhance their ECU experience with an internship.” Many gifts to the campaign not only acknowledge students through the Alumni Association but also honor academic and civic achievement. “Besides money to ease their financial burden and debt,” Clifford said, “the criteria for our scholarships makes earning one a significant accomplishment.” The Second Century Campaign has also contributed to the growth of the EC Scholars program, the university’s most prestigious undergraduate scholarship, housed in the new Honors College. “The campaign helped us put a focus on meritbased scholarships and allowed us to bring in more academically talented students,” said Dr. Katherine O’Connor, associate dean and director of the EC Scholars program. “We certainly could not do
it without the generous support of our alumni and friends.” There were 11 EC Scholars in the 2010 entering class and 15 in 2011. In the fall of 2012, the program will offer 20 students $40,000 scholarships with an additional $5,000 stipend for a required study abroad experience. “The EC Scholars benefit from varied academic, service, research, and leadership opportunities that we offer inside and outside the classroom,” O’Connor said. Donors have also made success possible for more student-athletes on the court or field and in the classroom. During the Second Century Campaign, the ECU Educational Foundation Inc. raised $3.7 million in endowment gifts to support student-athlete scholarships. Six $250,000 first-ever position endowments went to football (three), men’s golf, baseball, and women’s basketball. Seven endowments were established in honor or memory of former ECU coaches. “Pirate pride and passion drive the desire of alumni donors to provide others with the same opportunity that the donors experienced at East Carolina,” said Terry Holland, director of athletics. The campaign helped push the Educa tional Foundation Endowment Fund assets to more than $12 million, providing $4.6 million in student-athlete scholarship support during fiscal year 2011–2012. “East Carolina’s athletic programs have been ‘fully funded’ for only a few years,” Holland said. “Now that all of ECU’s athletic teams have the same number of scholarships that our competition has been giving for years, we are able to attract the best athletes and the best students.”
Scholarships
Because of gifts that fund scholarships, students’ futures look brighter than ever.

During his postdoctoral career, Ethan Anderson—now of ECU’s Department of Pharmacology—wanted to study human tissue that would normally be discarded after a tube is inserted in a patient’s heart. Anderson hoped to use those tissues to study atrial fi brillation— and through his research, improve patient care—but couldn’t afford the equipment. So Dr. Randolph W. Chitwood Jr., director of the East Carolina Heart Institute, used some of the $80,000 income from the $2-million Eddie and Jo Allison Smith Endowment to buy the necessary equipment. Anderson compiled basic data and with it earned a grant from the National Institutes of Health that will help him continue his research. Research to treat patients and educational opportunities for both teachers and students are crucial to the life of East Carolina University, but ideas cannot carry themselves. That’s why distinguished professorships, such as the one held by Chitwood, are essential to making ECU a hub of education and research. Part of the funding from the Second Century Campaign has been used to create professorships such as those held by Chitwood. Eddie and Jo Allison Smith created an endowed chair in their name to assist the director of the East Carolina Heart Institute, with matching funds provided by North Carolina’s Distinguished Professors Endowment Trust Fund. As the founding director, Chitwood has used that money to provide funding for starter grants and give educational experiences to people
6
who otherwise might not have had the chance, such as two Park Scholars from N.C. State University who spent a summer studying at ECU. One of those students has since interviewed with Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Chitwood said this student’s interviewers were impressed by the experience and knowledge he had gained at ECU. Money generated by the endowed chair can also fund training opportunities and help attract whomever succeeds Chitwood as the director of the heart institute. Gifts such as these are crucial, especially at a time when clinical revenues have dried up. The generous acts of donors make possible many initiatives that otherwise might not receive funding. “What happens in so many places, you just end up not being able to do the research and stuff,” Chitwood said of the lack of clinical revenues and the impact of the Smith endowed chair. “We’re fortunate with this.” The Department of Math, Science, and Instructional Technology Education has profited from the $1 million professorship established by Thomas and Dr. Elizabeth Taft, made possible by the Tafts’ gift, which was matched by both the UNC General Administration and the C. D. Spangler Foundation. Not only is their contribution meaningful, but Elizabeth Taft is also a faculty member in the department and knows firsthand how that money can help its goals. In addition to being a faculty member, the person selected for the Taft Distinguished Professorship in
Science Education will also serve as the future director of the STEM Education Center. Formerly the Center for Science, Mathematics, and Technology Education, the center will continue to provide professional development for teachers as it takes on the added roles of learning what the workforce needs from graduates; identifying ways in which students are lost in the school system and seeks to correct them; and securing funding from both government agencies and private foundations. The department is looking for a director whose academic experience is complemented by their having led largescale programs and their contacts in the business world, said Susan Ganter, professor and chair of the Department of Math, Science, and Instructional Technology Education. “That combination of someone who understands the academic world but also has that leadership experience is really what we’re looking for,” she said. Both gifts have allowed the heart institute and the department the chance to do things they either would have not been able to afford or complete goals that otherwise would have taken much longer to fulfill. Although he was speaking specifically of the Smith endowed chair, Chitwood sums up just how important these gifts are to ECU: “It lends terrific support to the university not only in money but also in kind, as far as their endorsement, so to speak, that this is a great university and a great place to put their funds.”

Researchers
Partially supported by gifts to the campaign, the East Carolina Diabetes and Obesity Institute is conducting groundbreaking research on diabetes and obesity, which is especially important in eastern North Carolina, where researchers predict that as many as one in three people will develop diabetes in their lifetime. “The objective of the institute is to figure out intervention programs to make a differences in people’s lives,” particularly targeting at-risk groups such as children and adolescents, according to Dr. Darrell Neufer, director of the East Carolina Diabetes and Obesity Institute. “It is our hope that the institute leads to basic scientific discoveries that lead to important treatments for patients, and the research at the institute leads to interventions that are proven to be accepted and effective” in dealing with and treating diabetes and obesity. The East Carolina Diabetes and Obesity Institute began as collaboration between physicians and basic and applied scientists working with obese/diabetic patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery. The institute was established with an integrative, interdisciplinary philosophy that has since been recognized as a key to success by most major universities and the National Institutes of Health. And researchers expect that their findings will have a real, demonstrable effect on the health of people dealing with obesity and/ or diabetes and how these diseases are treated in patients of all ages. By leveraging funding from the Golden
8
LEAF Foundation, the ECDOI has been able to hire a permanent director for the institute as well as two research assistant professors and recruit six new faculty members to ECU in the past four years, all of whom are conducting diabetesrelated research. Also, the institute has used this funding to purchase critical pieces of equipment and build the facilities necessary to conduct this groundbreaking research. As the director of Project STEPP (Supporting Transition and Education through Planning and Partnerships), Dr. Sarah Williams understands the true impact that private contributions can have on programs at ECU. Project STEPP provides comprehensive academic, social, and life skills support to students with learning disabilities who traditionally may not have access to college. Students are accepted prior to their senior year in high school and receive guidance during their transition from high school to college. At ECU, they participate in a structured schedule and receive support from a network of advisors, mentors, assistive technology specialists, tutors, counselors, instructors, and other experts whose services are provided without any cost other than the normal tuition and fees to attend ECU. Most recently, support from the Harold H. Bate Foundation, the Geneva, Switzerland-based Oak Foundation, and a number of key individuals has proved vital to Project STEPP, allowing the program to be fully staffed and providing scholarships to students who may not have been able to attend college otherwise.
“Nationally, we’ve just not found other programs that provide this comprehensive level of support to students who are very deserving and very capable of being successful in the college setting without any additional costs to students,” Williams said, “and that’s something we’re committed to keeping in place for our students.” Through a grant to the UNC system from the Oak Foundation, Williams is working with two other universities in the UNC system—UNC-Greensboro and Appalachian State University—on College STAR (Supporting Transition, Access, and Retention). This effort aims to create similar programs that identify the students who are slipping between the cracks in traditional university programs, find a common evaluation model to gauge the success of the programs, and work with faculty to increase awareness of the needs of students with learning disabilities in a university environment. “East Carolina University has become a model for similar efforts across the university system and, in so doing, meets it mission of becoming a model for public service and regional transformation,” Williams said. “Funding support contributed during the Second Century Campaign is making this program possible. Continued funding, however, will be critical in order to build an endowment that can sustain the program. As Project STEPP participants begin to graduate from ECU and start their careers, and as we share our model with other universities, the impact of the program will continue to grow.”

The first structure completed in the university’s second century was the Clark-LeClair Baseball Stadium, which houses the Lewis Field and the Williams Jungle. The new design allows for nearly twice the amount of fans to attend games compared to the previous venue, Harrington Stadium. Proper media coverage is now possible with the installation of lights that meet NCAA and all TV specifications. The list of features is impressive, and donors have made it possible for ECU to host conference tournaments, hold more than 5,000 fans, and bring the media attention this university and sport deserve. “Gifts to athletic facilities will serve generations of students, coaches, and all the members of the Pirate Nation,” said Terry Holland, ECU’s director of athletics. “Facilities like the Olympic Sports Complex with first-class facilities for baseball, softball, soccer, and track and field also send a message to those who visit our campus. That message is, first, ‘welcome’ and, secondly, ‘ECU is a firstclass university!’ You never have a second chance to make a first impression and firstclass facilities send that message 24/7/365 to even the most casual observer.” On ECU’s horizon is a new basketball practice facility. With the help of donations at all levels, the ECU Educational Foundation’s Step Up to the Highest Level Campaign will raise the $15 million necessary to begin construction. “The large gifts are extremely important to boosting this campaign to the point of breaking ground,” said Heather Macy, ECU women’s head basketball coach. “The sooner we get started, the sooner
10
we will reap the benefits of having a first-class area for players to take their games to the next level.” Currently, the basketball teams have to share Minges Coliseum with classes, other teams that practice on the court, and each other. “Having our own practice court will allow each sport to practice when it is most convenient according to the class schedules,” said Macy.
60 exam rooms, seven classrooms, and a large auditorium. As part of the Brody School of Medicine for the past 35 years, the FMC outgrew the facility and its capacity to care for patients in 2011. Now, the care for the region’s geriatric population is enhanced because of the support of our donors, specifically the Monk family.
Coaches and the community will also benefit from this new practice facility. The plans for the facility include a Hall of Fame, where star players from the past will be recognized. Each team currently sharing Minges will have more space to host camps for local youth and teams. The facility will also house new locker rooms, coaches’ offices, media rooms, and more, and with the total package, opportunities are around the corner.
“The Monk Geriatric Center is a beautiful state-of-the-art facility. It replaces an antiquated facility that was too small,” said Dr. Ken Steinweg, chair of the Department of Family Medicine. “We now have 12 larger exam rooms that allow space for families and learners. The real accomplishment of the past and the promise of the future is to provide the best possible primary care training and patient care to those in our community and region. ”
“It will definitely be a point of pride in recruiting,” said Macy. “If we want to compete on a national level, we have to have a commitment to provide players and coaches with the necessary tools. The support to this campaign ensures that Pirate Basketball will rise to the next level. Basketball will be competitive in C-USA, regionally, and nationally. I believe championships will follow close behind this commitment to excellence.”
The facility is more attractive, conducive to patient care and visiting family members, and is three times larger, increasing the amount of patients the center can service, according to Dr. Steinweg. “The new FMC and Monk Geriatric Center is a national class building!” Looking ahead to the next 35 years of teaching and providing health care in eastern North Carolina, even more is possible with this new facility.
The Second Century Campaign and its donors have also supported ECU’s Health Sciences Campus in reaching new heights. Another facility that has benefited from private support is the new 115,000-square-foot Family Medical Center that features the Frances J. and Robert T. Monk Geriatric Center,
The generosity of East Carolina University supporters continues to propel the university toward greatness for the years that lie ahead. Now, the Pirates have gained national attention in baseball, the basketball program will be poised to take a notable turn in the years to come, and ECU’s care for the region’s geriatric population has been enhanced.

East Carolina University Volunteer Leadership
We did it! Twelve months ahead of schedule, we raised nearly 10 percent more than our original goal for East Carolina University’s Second Century Campaign, and that success is due in large part to thousands of generous alumni and friends who made gifts and the hundreds of people who have volunteered for East Carolina University during the campaign. The next section highlights the volunteers on ECU’s boards of directors, Board of Trustees, and Board of Visitors that have been vital to making the campaign such a rousing success. To these people, I offer my most sincere gratitude for their unfailing support of the Second Century Campaign. As we said in the beginning, this campaign was about more than fundraising—the true goal was to support East Carolina University’s strategic directions, and it is because of you that we can say that our university is stronger than ever. Thank you!
