Meet the Dean

Welcome to East Carolina University and Pirate Nation!

Whether you are a new or returning student, we are thrilled to have you as a vital part of our campus community.

As your Dean of Students, I am dedicated to fostering a healthy, safe, and inclusive campus environment where you can reach your full potential while pursuing your educational goals.  It is my honor to lead several centers and services and to advocate on behalf of students.  I work closely with faculty, staff and student leaders to enhance the overall quality of life for everyone at ECU.

East Carolina University is a vibrant institution offering a wealth of opportunities.  Take the time to explore and embrace the activities and programs available to you – from performances and lectures to exhibits and exciting campus events. There is something here for everyone!

I encourage you to explore the Dean of Students website to discover the resources we offer and learn how you can enrich your experience at ECU.  Feel free to visit the Dean of Students Office or connect with us on Twitter.  We are here to support you and look forward to helping you make the most out of your time at ECU.

My sincerest hope is that you take full advantage of all that ECU has to offer.

Warm regards,

Dean Wright
