Student Spotlight: Elena Uzun
Why not? That’s the can-do attitude that Elena Uzun took on when she asked herself if she wanted to pursue an MBA degree from ECU. Elena Uzun, a native of the Republic of Moldova, has made a new home at East Carolina University.
“When I asked myself whether or not to advance my education, I had only one answer: ‘Why not?’” said Uzun, who is from Cairaclia, Republic of Moldova.
That can-do spirit toward bettering her education has always been with Uzun. It helped her obtain two associate degrees from Pitt Community College and to continue her education in Greenville, North Carolina, her new hometown and home to East Carolina University.
Besides being in her adopted hometown, Uzun chose ECU because of its diversity.
“When visiting campus, I could hear individuals speak different languages, which made me feel at ease,” said Uzun, who also liked the variety of majors that were available to her. “ECU, the College of Business and its business program have high national rankings. Therefore, again, it only made sense to choose the university in my new hometown.”
Uzun graduated in the fall of 2022 with a BSBA in Management. Uzun credits her success to the advisors she established relationships with at PCC and ECU’s College of Business.
“The advisors were always ready to answer my questions and offer guidance and perspectives,” Uzun said. “They were genuinely happy to see me succeed.”
