Pitt Perspectives

🎓 What does it REALLY take for college students to succeed?

In this episode of Pitt Perspectives, we sit down with Dr. Allen Guidry, East Carolina University Associate Provost, and Chris Stansbury, Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, for an insightful and engaging conversation about student success, the challenges students face, and what universities can do to help students thrive.

We explore what success looks like beyond graduation, the importance of student support, and how ECU is working to create better opportunities for students.

But it's not all serious! 😄 We also get to know the people behind the titles, hear about their personal journeys, and share some laughs along the way.
