Meet the Dean


Dear Pirates,

Welcome to East Carolina University and Pirate Nation! Whether you are new or a continuing student, please know that you are an important part of our campus community and we are glad to have you here!

I am privileged to serve as your Dean of Students and my focus is on creating a healthy, safe, and inclusive campus where you can maximize your personal potential, while pursuing your educational dreams.  It is my honor to provide the leadership for several centers and services.  In serving as a senior advocate for students, I work closely with faculty, staff, and student leaders to enhance the quality of life for all students at the university.

East Carolina University is a wonderful and truly amazing institution that offers so  much. Take your time to explore and embrace the rich opportunities that are before you. From the performances, to lectures and exhibits, to extraordinary campus events and athletic competitions, ECU holds something for everyone!

I encourage you to browse through the Dean of Students website to learn more  about what we provide and to learn about the ways you can enrich your experience as a student at East Carolina University. Most importantly, we encourage you to stop by and visit the Dean of Students Office.  Please follow us on Twitter and let us know how we can help you.

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

Best regards,

Dean Roeder
