Trendsetters Series

The Trendsetter Awards were established in Spring 2023 to shine a light on research and creative activity leaders at ECU. The goal of the program is to recognize and honor exemplary faculty from all career stages. The nine inaugural winners were asked to share their experience and expertise in research and creative activities achievements.  

The three groups will co-host a professional development workshop series throughout the 2023-2024 academic year. 

The 2023 Trendsetter Series will provide participants at all levels of service with ideas and inspiration for being the next Trendsetter. We hope you will join us for one or more of these sessions:
