Counselor Connections Day
The Counselor Connections event is proudly sponsored by the Office of Educator Preparation in the ECU College of Education. This event is designed for High School Counselors as we recognize the vital role you play in communicating information to prospective ECU students.
We want prospective students to be well informed about East Carolina University and more specifically, about the College of Education and the fantastic Educator Preparation programs offered.
As a College of Education sponsored event, this program will highlight degree programs that are a part of Educator Preparation Programs as it is our goal to recruit future educators, and to encourage students to consider a career in Education.
During the Counselor Connections event, presentations from the College of Education, ECU Admissions, Academic Advising, Athletics, Financial Aid, Honors College, and Scholarship Programs within the College of Education will be shared to provide you pertinent information and updates within each of these areas.
This event occurs every fall, and is strategically timed to provide information to Counselors to assist prospective students with meeting various ECU deadlines.
