In His Own WORDS
Trustee Danny Scott ’84 shares
how ECU changed his life
Q: What was your ECU student experience like
A: I really enjoyed my time at ECU. The school, the community, and the people played
an integral part in my life both then and now. I found the College of Business to be
challenging and thought provoking, and interestingly enough, I have applied many
of the theories I learned as a student to my professional life. Just as important as
the academics were to my overall development, the lessons I learned outside of the
classroom and the people I met in the community also played a major role in my
experience at the University. When I think back on my time at ECU, I have many
great memories, such as participating in my fraternity (Alpha Phi Alpha), playing
pick-up basketball games at Memorial Gym, eating and socializing at the Crow’s
Nest, and going to parties at the Ledonia Wright Cultural Center. Attending ECU
was a life changing experience for me and I’m extremely proud to be an ECU
alumnus.
