College of Business to Establish
living-learning Community
Beginning Fall 2012, freshmen business students at ECU will have the option of joining a Living-Learning Community on campus, thanks to a group
of students who suggested the idea.
Common on college campuses, Living-Learning Communities give students a unique, inclusive residential learning experience that connects classroom
learning with residence life. Students enjoy the typical advantages of living on campus in a residence hall with the added benefit of living among other
students who share their academic goals and interests.
College of Business officials have already met with ECU’s Associate Vice Chancellor for Campus Living and received tentative approval for space in
Garrett Hall for fall freshmen. More details will be solidified in the coming months.
College of Business Cleans greenway
More than 15 volunteers from the College of Business helped clean up
the Green Mill Run Greenway on Saturday, Dec. 10, removing tires and
trash from the 1.5 mile walkway that provides a scenic walkway and bike
path along the water of the Green Mill Run in Greenville.
Associate professor Lee Grubb in the Department of Management
coordinated the cleanup effort.
“This all came about during a ride on the Greenway with Bill
McDowell, T.D. Gribble, and Andrew Herdman,” Grubb said. “We all
enjoy using the Greenway but noticed that it could use a little help. We

were amazed by the number of volunteers who joined us for the big
cleanup day.”
The City of Greenville helped the effort by providing an extra worker
and a dump truck. In addition to faculty and staff, College of Business
students were also allowed to participate and use the hours toward their
service learning portfolio requirement.
Volunteers found many tires along the greenway.
