Opening Home Soccer Game - Thursday September 8 @ 4pm
Make your way down to the Tiger Field for the first soccer game of the season on September 8th @ 4pm.

With the showing of your student ID upon entrance you will also receive boom sticks and a chance to enter your name in the raffle for a halftime game for awesome prizes! 

Roary will be awarding one signed game ball to the most energetic and spirited fan at the game donated by the Office of Campus Involvement!

ECU Spirit will also be giving out one swag bag to the lucky individual from the raffle drawing. You do not want to miss out on this game! 
Suicide Prevention Month
To commemorate Suicide Prevention Month, the Counseling Center and Active Minds are to host a display of 1,100 memorial flags on the Danley lawn. These white flags represent, honor, and remember the 1,100 college students who die by suicide each year. The exhibit will remain in place for one week from Sept. 6 through Sept. 12. The goal of the exhibit is to raise awareness regarding the number of students that die by suicide each year. Suicide is one of the top causes of death among college students in the United States. The hope for the exhibit and signs around campus is to spread the message that mental health issues are prevalent, decrease stigma in reaching out and show support is available.
