ECU History Collection: Timeline

1961-1980

1961 marked the beginning of the Leo Jenkins era at East Carolina. The New Jersey native embraced Eastern North Carolina and dedicated his time as the school’s chief executive to raising the profile of the institution and region. Jenkins accelerated Messick’s campus growth initiative, as the first decade of Jenkins’ term included the construction of Ficklen Stadium, Fletcher Music Center, the Austin building, the Brewster building, the Irons building and Clement, Fletcher, Belk, and Green Dormitories to house the ever-growing student body. East Carolina also transformed into East Carolina University, which transformed Jenkins’ title from President to Chancellor. This period also saw advances in civil rights, most notably through the desegregation of campus. Among the Jenkins era’s greatest accomplishments was the founding of a medical school, approved by the General Assembly 1975. Jenkins submitted his resignation in 1978. That same year the Board of Trustees selected Thomas B. Brewer as the second chancellor of East Carolina.
