Creed Awards/Creed Week

Under the foundation of our University Creed, posted below, students, faculty, and staff are able to nominate other students, faculty, and staff for awards based on integrity, diversity, responsibility, and citizenship. The Creed Awards and nominations usually occur during the spring semester at ECU.

ECU Creed

In the pursuit of educational excellence, responsible stewardship, and intellectual freedom, the community of scholars at East Carolina University is committed to learning at the highest level. Founded in the tradition of service and leadership, members of our academic society exemplify high standards of professional and personal conduct at all times. Therefore, we aspire to the following:
As an East Carolinian,
I will carry out personal and academic integrity.
I will respect and appreciate the diversity of our people, ideas, and opinions.
I will be thoughtful and responsible in my words and actions.
I will engage in purposeful citizenship by serving as a positive role model.
By striving to meet these aspirations on and off campus, our individual freedom to learn and a pledge to serve will be preserved.
