ECU has a longstanding commitment to engaging and serving our communities. Increasing social complexity creates an imperative for the University and communities to work together and share ideas, knowledge and expertise in critical issues such as health and wellness, social justice, education, science, business, the environment and community wellbeing.
We value and enjoy the many connections and partnerships at a local, national and international level, with each level being equally important.
