Educators Hall of Fame 2018 Inductees
The College of Education at East Carolina University held its 20th Educators Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Saturday, October 27, 2018 in the Fletcher Recital Hall in Fletcher Music Center. Thirty-five educators and education advocates were recognized during an event that raised $40,000 for student scholarships. Following the ceremony, a reception was held in first floor of Speight Building and adjoining courtyard so inductees and guests would have the opportunity to view the Educators Hall of Fame wall. Each inductee was sponsored with a monetary gift of $1,000 or more in support of the College of Education’s Educators Hall of Fame Scholarship endowment. Annual interest from the Educators Hall of Fame endowment is used to fund merit-based scholarships for College of Education students. This prestigious merit scholarship program helps attract more of the best and brightest students to ECU’s College of Education.
