The East Carolina University Alumni Association recognized six alumni at A Purple and Gold Evening, its annual awards ceremony Oct. 1 at the Greenville Convention Center. The awards, which were postponed due to the pandemic, celebrate alumni and friends of the university who demonstrate outstanding service to the university and accomplishments in their careers.

“It is, as we often say, a great day to be a Pirate, especially as we honor some of ECU’s finest leaders, some of our most passionate advocates, some of our most unwavering supporters, and some of my dear friends with incredibly well-deserved awards this evening,” Chancellor Philip Rogers said.

“These alumni have excelled in their chosen fields, have a track record of career highs, and constantly bring distinction to their alma mater. We are thrilled to call them our own,” added Rich Spain, chair of the board of directors for the alumni association.

In addition to the dinner reception, the recipients were recognized on the field during ECU’s homecoming football game against Tulane University on Oct. 2.
