Proposed update: Founder background and academic initiatives
I am affiliated with ECPI University and am suggesting updates in accordance with Wikipedia’s conflict of interest guidelines. I will not edit the article directly.
Several independent sources provide additional context on ECPI University’s history and academic programs that may improve the article’s completeness and balance.
Proposed additions:
Addition to "History" section:
ECPI University was founded by Alfred Dreyfus, who immigrated to the United States in 1947 and later established the institution in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1966 with a small initial class of students. The institution later expanded to multiple campuses across several states and online programs.Pilot/Daily Press, "Alfred Dreyfus, Holocaust survivor who founded ECPI University in Hampton Roads, dies at 100," October 11, 2024.CoVaBiz Magazine, "An American Dream," December 2, 2025.
Addition to "Academics" or "Programs" section:
ECPI University has implemented training methods such as mobile simulation labs and virtual simulation platforms to support experiential learning in healthcare education.WHRO-FM, "A new kind of nursing classroom is on the street in Hampton Roads," February 18, 2026.EdScoop, "How one university is training its health care students virtually," January 4, 2021.
These additions are based on independent reporting and are intended to provide updated, neutral information about ECPI University’s history and academic offerings.
I welcome review and edits from independent contributors.
Thank you.
