Did you know about our “Welcome Pack” program offered to international J-1 exchange and F-1 international students?

Many of our students travel for hours and days to find home in East Carolina’s Pirate nation for the duration of their studies, often times arriving after most stores have closed.

To help their make transition to the United States a little easier, we offer gently used items to students to borrow while they get settled into their new dorm life.

This program is available to exchange students and first-time freshman students living on campus in the ECU dorms.

We arrrgh looking forward to welcoming our new international pirates this week!

The Office of Global Affairs was honored to attend the 2026 Greenville Chinese New Year Gala Program hosted on ECU campus by the ECU Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA).
。
Lunar New Year is celebrated across many cultures and countries throughout Asia and the world. The event featured wonderful performances that beautifully highlighted cultural traditions, artistic expression, and community spirit. It was a meaningful opportunity to celebrate heritage, unity, and the start of a new year together.
。
We extend our warmest wishes for a joyful and prosperous Lunar New Year for all who celebrate!
