East Carolina has won a share of the 2026 American Baseball regular season conference championship.
It's the eighth consecutive season ECU can call itself an American Conference champion (regular season or tournament).
@cgodwin23 The real Pirate fans and former athletes have your back skipper @cgodwin23 keep doing what you’re doing and ignore the rat poison! Go Pirates! 🏴☠️
@HTC247 Thanks Bobby for tip on Emory’s highlights film on YouTube. He gets the ball out quick, hits contested targets and willing to put his shoulder down to move chains. I’m encouraged- Go Pirates! 🏴☠️
Did You Know:
- @EastCarolina has the largest Cyber Security program in the state of NC.
- 600 students are currently in the program, as a part of the College of Engineering and Technology (@ECUCET)
- ECU expects to have 1,000 students within the next 3 years.
These are two of the computer labs.
The 2nd picture is of the lab that is funded by the National Security Agency and the Department of Defense.
The lab is designed to create challenges where teams will “fight” each other in cyber warfare and security. Was really cool to see run in real time.
DOD officials recently toured this facility and were absolutely floored. This facility was designed and built by ECU students and faculty.
Some schools just teach…. At ECU… you DO.
Students that are granted NSA scholarships, are guaranteed jobs, which grant them security clearance access… which will make them highly marketable.
Wanted to share this… this was news to me (about the funding and scale of the program)
