Since 2000, six buildings have been constructed or renovated at a cost of $200 million. Projects under construction or on the drawing board will raise the total to $300 million.

Abstract:

Few women attended college in the 1920s, but four sisters from Magnolia in rural Duplin County attended and graduated from East Carolina Teachers College during that period. They called themselves the “Magnolia Belles,” and a tradition was started. Over the following years at least one woman from each succeeding generation has graduated from East Carolina. In 2005, a member of the fourth generation earned her ECU diploma.

Abstract:

Ricky Stokes, East Carolina University's new head basketball coach, was considered too small at five-feet-nine to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Yet, during his career at the University of Virginia, he played in two Final Fours and played in a school-record 134 games. Basketball teams at East Carolina have had eight straight losing seasons. Droschak profiles the new coach with the big challenge of turning things around.

Abstract:

A common conception is that college students enter the “real world” post-graduation. What the student employees at WZBM proved was that they’re already in the real world. The skills they’re learning behind the microphone were helping to smooth the transition from on campus employment to off.
