Donations to our foundation account are used to help send students to professional conferences, meetings and workshops, competitions, and to provide a variety of student services that are not possible within state budgetary constraints. Funds donated to the department will also be used to support the professional development of the faculty and to foster innovation in teaching and research.

Any contribution you or your firm could make, whether it is $10, $100, or $1,000, would be greatly appreciated by our students and faculty.

The $1,000 Club

Donate $1,000 to the Department of Political science at East Carolina University and your name (or that of someone you wish to honor) will be engraved and featured on a special plaque in the department library. You will also receive a customized gift to show our appreciation. Seven names have been placed on a special plaque in the Political Science library in Brewster Building to honor those individuals (and one firm) who have donated $1,000 or more to the department during the past year. The faculty and staff – both past and present – are honored by these donations to the development fund.
