     鈥淓ast Central University was so good to me when I was a 
     student,鈥� said Nigh. 鈥淚 want current young people to see
     ECU the way I saw it and to know how helpful the faculty,
    the staff and the student body are. It鈥檚 like a family.鈥�

    鈥淲e are proud to work with East Central University in
     their Forward Capital Campaign to enhance students'
     experiences and support scholarships. ECU has been a
     stalwart partner to the Chickasaw Nation and has provided
     invaluable academic opportunities for their students. We
     look forward to seeing the university help launch successful
     futures for the next generation."

   鈥淢y family has been connected to East Central University
     for over 100 years. We've been proud to be a part of its
     story, and we hop others will join in moving forward. It
     takes financial support to make that possible. Living here in
     Ada, the needs are more visible - it's clear just how much
     this university matters. ECU doesn't just educate students;
     it strengthens the entire community."

     you finish, and I鈥檓 a living testament and feel very blessed
     and very humble to be here and to have gone to school here
     and I am a very proud ECU graduate."Any success I have
