Community Connections Unveils Fall 2025 Lineup at Elizabeth City State University

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — Elizabeth City State University has announced the Fall 2025 season of its Community Connections Performance and Lecture Series — a lineup of performances and conversations designed to inspire, engage and connect audiences through art, culture and community.

This season continues the series’ tradition of showcasing diverse voices from the worlds of dance, music and education. From internationally acclaimed artists to local talent, each event highlights the power of performance and storytelling.

“This series is about more than performances,” said Dr. Kevin J. Wade, vice chancellor for student affairs and interim vice chancellor for university advancement. “It’s about building bridges — between disciplines, between people and across generations. It’s an invitation to connect more deeply with each other and the world around us.”
