The Sophomore Teaching Fellows, Maynard Scholars, and new office assistant Pam Fisher (this was her first trip with the ECU Fellows and Maynard Scholars) visited the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro on February 23, 2008. They departed ECU at 8:30 am and took two ECU transit buses. The Fellows and Scholars explored the zoo. Upon departure of the zoo, the group went to Timothy's, a casual fine dining restaurant, where they were treated to dinner by the ECU Teaching Fellows Office. The Fellows and Scholars were all glad to have this bonding experience and were just as appreciative, if not more, for the meal.


Our office staff has fun on trips, too! Dr. Mary Beth Corbin, who recently stepped down as the campus program director, isn't above goofing off for the camera.


Sophomores take a day trip every year to a city in North Carolina as part of the ECU TF/MS program. It's fully funded by the program and is designed to further broaden our students' horizons, exposing them to a new and exciting place in our state. Previous years, sophomores have traveled to Raleigh and to the Outer Banks. Each trip location is voted on by the class, and each trip is planned by the Travel Committee.
