    2020 ANNUAL REVIEW LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Thank you for your continued love and support of the North Carolina Aquariums and Jennette’s Pier! We are happy to share this digital version of our 2020 Annual Review, through which we’re pleased to provide updates on some of your favorite animals, facilities and projects. It’s no secret that the past year has challenged everyone, especially attractions like the Aquariums that rely on visitation to generate revenue in support of their operation and mission. Being closed through summer 2020 was challenging but necessary. But our financial picture gets brighter every day, thanks to the return of visitors last fall and your generous support through our Wishes for Fishes campaign. During this time we also took the opportunity to launch a new online giftshop, acquire sponsors for several new exhibits, and keep in close touch with our dedicated family of Aquarium members. If you haven’t already, we hope you enjoy your return to the Aquariums and Pier this spring—with all safety measures in CHARLTON BURNS place.

  • 2020 Purple and Gold Bus Tour Binder (PDF)
    Funded by a grant provided by the Health Resources & Services Administration Pamela Reis, PI College of Nursing BUS TOUR FUNDING & SUPPORT The 2020 Purple and Gold Bus Tour was funded by a grant from the United States Health Resources & Services Administration’s (HRSA) Advanced Nursing Education Workforce program. The administration is an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary federal agency for improving health care to people who are geographically isolated or are economically or medically vulnerable. Many eastern North Carolina residents fall under that description. The grant was awarded to ECU College of Nursing primary investigator Pamela Reis for her project “Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) Academic-Clinical Practice Collaborative.” The study’s purpose is to significantly strengthen the availability and capacity of the APRN primary care workforce in rural and underserved communities in eastern North Carolina. This innovative collaboration between students in three APRN concentrations – nurse practitioner, nurse-midwifery and clinical nurse specialist – will occur through joint, long-term clinical placements in rural and underserved clinics in partnership with Vidant Health. The project’s main goals are to: » Establish and enhance academic-clinical partnerships with Vidant Health, the North Carolina Agromedicine Institute, and the East Carolina University Center for Telepsychiatry and E-Behavioral Health. » Recruit and train a minimum of 16 APRN preceptors in partnership with Vidant Health. » Create eight longitudinal clinical placement sites in rural and underserved communities through Vidant Health » Provide traineeship funds to at least 84 full- and part-time nurse practitioner, nurse-midwifery and clinical nurse specialist students.
