Take the plunge one last time! After 29 years of icy splashes, campus spirit, and unforgettable memories, join us for the 30th and final Polar Bear Plunge at the Eakin Student Recreation Center. Celebrate the legacy of this beloved ECU tradition with fellow Pirates, alumni, and friends as we close out three decades of courage, community, and cold water fun!
