The Board of TrusteeesWelcome 6 SPRING 2008 • ELIZABETH CITY STATE UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE
Greetings from the Board of Trustees It’s that time when we reflect on the progress we’ve made and review the goals and objectives for this year. I’m delighted to say the accomplishments made in 2007 will only springboard the university to the next level of excellence. Last year ushered in a realm of opportunities and challenges for the Board of Trustees. We intensified our search and selected a new Chancellor, shepherded the second year of our pharmacy program, and initiated a signature program -- aviation science. That program will make ECSU an essential partner in the economic development of the region. However, the challenges to meet the demands of a growing student body were the challenges we were most pleased to face. This board approved recommendations to improve housing options for the 3,000 students now enrolled. Last year provided other opportunities and challenges for the Board. Trustee (Fred) Yates’, term expired. During his eight years on the Board, Yates, the board’s Vice-Chair and Mayor of Winfall was an advocate and staunch supporter of ECSU. He has promised to remain an active supporter of the university. Next, the new State Ethics Law that affects trustees raised some tough challenges for participants, so we lost two valued trustees. Though they will be missed, we have added two new trustees who are enthusiastic and positive about the future of ECSU, Mr. Richard E. Rogers and Mr. Jacob E. Hartsfield, IV. Our final trustee recommendation was approved by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors in March 2008. As unpaid volunteers with varied terms of service, the members of the ECSU Board of Trustees make an enormous commitment of their personal time and financial resources. The members bring a wide range of experiences, views and opinions to the board. Yet, they are united with one mission -- to propel ECSU to the next level of excellence. The pages of this magazine will highlight many of the latest developments at ECSU. We hope you enjoy this edition of the ECSU Magazine.
