We were all devastated this year at the passing of Dr. Nancy Spalding (PhD, SUNY-Binghamton). She started working at ECU in 1987. She studied as a Fulbright Scholar in Africa and taught about and researched political theory, international relations, African politics, and genocide. During her time here, she served as an Associate Dean of Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences and as the Political Science Undergraduate Program Director. She is survived by her daughter Stephanie, son-in-law Grayson, and grandchildren Annabelle, Isaac, and Abbigail – in addition to the faculty, staff, and students of the Department, who miss her dearly.
