Dr. Amy E. Wright of Saint Louis University will serve as the David Julian and Virginia Suther Whichard Distinguished Professor in the Humanities in East Carolina University’s Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences with the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in partnership with the Department of English.

“I feel deeply honored and grateful. This distinguished professorship is both an affirmation of my work with Latin American/Spanish-speaking media and my passion to serve broader communities. I’m excited to join ECU to spotlight the value of languages, literatures and cultures — and to amplify the voices and artistic traditions of Spanish-speaking communities on campus and across the region.”
