In July 2018, the ECU Alumni Association moved away from a transactional, dues-based membership model to one that is based on annual philanthropic support from our ECU alumni and friends who we serve. The organizational structure, function, and mission of the alumni association - to inform, involve, and serve members of the ECU family throughout their lifelong relationship with the university - will remain the exact same.

Moving to an inclusive, non-dues-based model allows the ECU Alumni Association to better serve all our graduates and friends around the world. This new model encourages all Pirates to give generously in support of their university and their alumni association. This move also makes association processes more efficient and reduces duplication of effort between the ECU Alumni Association and its partners across campus. Overall, these changes will better align the ECU Alumni Association for future growth and an even higher level of service for all Pirates, including you!

The ECU Alumni Association shows its appreciation to members in many ways, including special gifts at select alumni events, discounts on goods and services from our valued partners, our monthly ‘ECU Connections’ newsletter and special access to ECU events and programs near you. Your support also helps to grow the vast network of ECU alumni around the world, which currently numbers over 175,000 and counting! One of the best ways you can tap into the power of the ECU Alumni Network is to join our online community, ECU Connect. Be sure to check it out today by visiting www.ECUConnect.com.

Regardless of this change, our valued Life and Centennial members will retain their special place of distinction as foundational supporters of the ECU Alumni Association. The alumni association is committed to continue creating special opportunities to honor and recognize our Life and Centennial Members, to whom the association is forever grateful.

Lifetime and Centennial membership in the ECU Alumni Association will be extended to those association members who have already paid their membership in full, or who are in the process of paying toward their membership, prior to July 1, 2018.

You are not required to contribute to the alumni association to be considered an association member. All living graduates of East Carolina University are now considered full members of the alumni association. However, all Pirates are encouraged to help advance ECU's mission of student success, public service, and regional transformation by making annual gifts in support of campus programs and projects that they care about. Please consider a gift to the ECU Alumni Priority Fund to help provide critical support necessary to help preserve ECU history and traditions, support student scholars and to grow the power of the ECU Alumni Network worldwide.

The ECU Alumni Association defines “alumnus/alumni” as someone who has graduated from ECU (and all its previous names) and any former student who matriculated for at least two consecutive semesters, or equivalent, in pursuit of a degree. If you fit either category, you are considered an alumnus/a of East Carolina University and are automatically a member of the alumni association as a result of this transition.

As part of this transition, the ECU Alumni Association will no longer operate an annual membership program. Instead, all loyal Pirate alumni are encouraged to make a gift to the ECU Alumni Priority Fund, which provides the alumni association with a means to preserve ECU history and traditions, support student scholars and to grow the power of the ECU Alumni Network worldwide.
