Under the
agreement, ECU and FSU have committed to developing pipelines linking FSU’s
undergraduate students to ECU’s graduate and professional programs; encouraging
collaborations between academic programs and faculties in the areas of
research, scholarship, public service and creative activity; and exploring the
development of a short-term faculty exchange program.
“We are excited about the potential of this partnership with Fayetteville State University,” said Dr. Grant Hayes, acting provost at ECU. “Our mission as a university centers on student success and regional transformation, and providing pathways for students in eastern North Carolina to pursue their educational goals is a key part of that mission. Through this collaboration we will seek new opportunities for partnership and work together to the benefit of both institutions, our students and the region.”
