Members Program

The Member program provides opportunities to university faculty and community partners (generally, professionals in partnering agencies and organizations) to become involved at a high level with the NC Agromedicine Institute’s activities. Members’ participation is central to developing and delivering Institute projects and programs. Members’ counsel in the development of Institute initiatives, priorities and policies will be sought. Although some Members who are faculty at East Carolina University (ECU), NC Agricultural & Technical State University (NCA&TSU) or NC State University (NCSU) may have short term, jointly funded Institute appointments, most Members will serve in a voluntary collaborative capacity. Members’ appointments will strictly follow the work rules of their respective employer with the workstation being determined by the Member’s employer.

Note: Individuals who were recognized as ‘Faculty Affiliates’ at ECU, NCA&TSU, or NCSU prior to May 7, 2015 will be grandfathered into the Member Program and will be referred to as a ‘Member’ from that time forward.
