Former East Carolina University baseball player Clayton McCullough, manager of the Miami Marlins and a World Series winning coach, will deliver the keynote address during fall commencement on Dec. 19 at Minges Coliseum.
McCullough, a Greenville native whose parents still live in the area, will address about 1,800 students and their guests during the 10 a.m. ceremony.
“We are excited to recognize our graduates and celebrate such a special moment with their friends and families,” ECU Chancellor Philip Rogers said. “It’s a pleasure to welcome Clayton back to campus to offer words of encouragement to our graduates. As a Greenville native and alumnus, he inherently understands our university’s mission, and his career achievements clearly demonstrate his proven leadership.”
