Join the East Carolina Alumni Association in recognizing alumni who have demonstrated outstanding merit and achievement as we honor the 2009 award recipients. Awards will be given to eight individuals in the categories of Outstanding Alumni, Honorary Alumni, and Distinguished Service.

The Alumni Association’s Outstanding Alumni Award is one of the most prestigious offered by the university. It recognizes alumni with a minimum of five years of work history, outstanding and uncommon achievement in one’s profession, in civic affairs, and/or politics. Recipients should have adhered to standards of moral and ethical conduct that would cause the university to be proud to present the honorees as role models for students and other alumni. It is expected that recipients are recognized by their professional peers as being truly outstanding within their professions.

This year’s recipients:

Bruce A. Biggs ’66, owner and president of Biggs Pontiac Buick Cadillac GMC Truck in Elizabeth City, NC

Major General William “Dutch” L. Holland ’75, is Commander, 9th Air Force, Air Combat Command, Shaw Air Force Base, SC

Dr. Garrie W. Moore ’85, vice chancellor for student affairs at City University of New York

Dr. Jerry M. Wallace ’56, president of Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC

Honorary Alumni status is an honor extended to individuals who did not attend ECU but have adopted the university as their own through uncommon and outstanding service, substantial and continuing commitment, and loyalty. In recognition of the expressions of good will, the Alumni Association annually inducts those who are particularly deserving to be recognized as honorary members of the Alumni Association.

This year’s recipients:

Steve P. Keen, founder of Adam’s Auto Wash, founder and owner of Adair LLC and Atlantic Coast Deliveries, and a member of the ECU Educational Foundation’s Executive Committee

Dr. Jesse R. Peel, retired psychiatrist who has established a number of ECU endowments and serves on myriad University councils

The Alumni Association’s Distinguished Service Award recognizes uncommon and outstanding service to the Alumni Association and/or the university as a whole. Recipients should have adhered to standards of moral and ethical conduct that would cause the university to be proud to present the recipients as role models for students and other alumni.

This year’s recipient:

Dale W. Engelbert ’82, vice president and treasurer of the East Carolina Alumni Association’s New York Metropolitan alumni chapter

Julia “Jewelle” S. Rogers ’56, owner of Lifetime Houses, a Kick Off to Victory member of the Pirate Club, and member of numerous University boards and committees
