Spring has sprung, along with our April events |

Greetings from Dean Linda Kean
Happy spring, friends and followers!
I want to take a moment to thank everyone who supported ECU and the College of Fine Arts and Communication during the 10th annual Pirate Nation Gives on March 4. Thanks to your generosity, donors unlocked a $5,000 bonus for our Alternative Spring Break fund. This will help students from across the college join us in New York City for an exciting and enriching experience during spring break 2027, meeting outstanding alumni and learning more about potential career pathways.
Remember that this is the time of the semester you can also attend a great many recitals and exhibitions by individual students. Check out our full events calendar and the school websites at the bottom of this page for those listings, as there are too many to include here.
Thank you again for your incredible support!
