| Organizational Unit Overview |
The East Carolina Alumni Association (ECUAA) is the constituency of former students whose continuing interest and support have helped ECU become known as one of the finest comprehensive universities in the South. The ECUAA was created to develop a spirit of cooperation and loyalty among alumni and to promote the general welfare of the institution. The scope of the association, which was organized by the classes of 1911 and 1912 in June 1912, has grown tremendously as the alumni population has multiplied with a growing ECU. In order to keep pace with a rapidly developing university, the Alumni Association was incorporated as a 5013 nonprofit organization in 1967. Since that time the alumni population has increased from 15,000 to more than 200,000 |
