===Summary===
Elizabeth City State University prides itself on "Once a Viking, always a Viking". You see alumni come back for football games, but most importantly Homecoming. In those few times we as students are graced by the wise alumni, we never connect. When you see "ECSU" and "alumni", more than likely you come across the ECSU Alumni Association. However, for the current students, it's important to make those connections with the alumni. VikingTALK will be a TEDTalk based series where ECSU alumni come back to share their journey after graduating. The series will go through their major and time at ECSU and how that lead them into their career now. By Implementing VikingTALK it will bridge that gap between ECSU students and ECSU alumni. Viking Pride in a simple defintion means having joy of being a student at Elizabeth City State University. However, that can't happen if Viking Pride stops for our alumni after they graduate and is not instill in those at ECSU. With VikingTALK web series there will be a website that can be accessed through the current student portal. On this website will be access to various resources to connect all VIkings. There will be a list of profiles of alumni sharing the career success stories. These will be blocked off by categorized by majors and interests. There will be a portal or center for scholarships, internships, jobs to be shared by alumni and students. This allows for efficient and genuine networking. <br />
