Dear Alums, There’s nowhere better to be in the fall than on a college campus. This is a great time to be an ECU Tiger! We continue to be Oklahoma’s busiest college campus.

In these pages you will find some of the great successes from this year and the anticipated projects for next year. I want to give a big shout out to the ECU Foundation. The Foundation has helped with many enhancements including the campus master plan, upgrades to the Sterling Williams Center, big scholarship increases and funding for so many areas of our campus.

The alumni board is another active support system for ECU. I love attending their alumni reunions throughout Oklahoma and the Dallas-Fort Worth area. They are a lot of fun and they are great networking opportunities.

You, the alums, are making this possible. We have record donations to the university and we look to continue the momentum.

What a great time to be a Tiger! Thank you for your involvement, and enjoy looking through the pages that outline the many accomplishments of our university and alumni.

Sincerely,

President John R. Hargrave (’77)
