Friends, family and associates from East Carolina University gathered Monday in remembrance of Chris Murphy, an assistant director of admissions who died July 9 after being struck by a car in Nags Head.

Friends organized the memorial at the Murphy Center and are collecting donations for a memorial scholarship through the ECU Foundation. Greenville-area Jersey Mike's locations will donate half of their profits from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. today to the scholarship.
