Quote:Chancellor Jenkins was at the forefront of several crucial battles in ECU’s history. He fought the state legislature and the UNC system to keep the university’s name East Carolina University and not UNC-Greenville. He also fought to make East Carolina College a university, and again to build a medical school in a region that desperately needed one.

Leo Jenkins was not only passionate about ECU from an academic perspective, but he also had a passion for athletics. He once said, “If athletics is thought to be a worthy part of the university program, then it should be there with respect and dignity, and completely supported.”
