Spring Break
Two 18-year-old victims were robbed at gunpoint last Friday at Pirates Place apartments. The victims surrendered $6 in cash, two cellular phones valuing $195 and two sets of keys and were left uninjured. This latest armed robbery follows a string of break-ins in apartment complexes populated by students.
The concern for mental health services on college campuses is on the rise and with good reason. According to the American College Health Association, the rate of students reporting ever being diagnosed with depression has increased 56 percent in the last six years.
On Monday, many ECU students broke away from their busy class schedules to participate in a campus-wide game of Humans vs. Zombies. In the late afternoon, students of every class were seen wearing bandannas on their heads and arms and chasing each other with Nerf guns or socks.
With the upcoming holiday season approaching, non-profit organizations are seeking a helping hand from ECU students. Non-profit organizations located in Greenville, which include the Salvation Army, Goodwill and My Sister's Closet, along with additional non-profit organizations, are in need of student volunteers to ensure their duties are accomplished this holiday season.
