University Research and Engagement Council
The University Research and Engagement Council provides advice and consultation to our leadership team regarding the research enterprise on ECU’s campus. The membership of the council includes faculty representation from every college and school at ECU. Council members are expected to represent the interests of the university’s community at large. The council meets quarterly.
