The fall Class of 2025 reflects the mission and resilience that defines East Carolina University. Following are five graduates whose paths to commencement weaved through bedsides in the mountains delivering babies, classrooms supporting students with invisible disabilities, and family military traditions.
On Friday, Dec. 19, they will join nearly 2,000 graduates in Minges Coliseum to celebrate their accomplishments with family and friends at ECU's fall commencement ceremony.
