White, Dean FROM THE DEAN Dear Harriot College Friend, Welcome to the inaugural issue of Cornerstone! Certainly a byword of our age is communicate, and Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences is seeking new and ever more effective ways to keep the dialogue channels open with all of you. When the college’s newsletter, Cornerstone, was developed more than a decade ago, an “all-purpose” approach was right for that time. Faculty, staff, and alumni news mingled to create a varied picture of the many things that the College of Arts and Sciences was doing as East Carolina University’s academic cornerstone. But times have changed, and Harriot College’s activities have grown so exponentially that a single publication is no longer adequate to represent the rich diversity of all of the activities related to the arts and sciences. The newsletter, renamed Magnetic East, will now be more tightly focused for the on-campus audience, meeting specific faculty and staff needs. And this and future issues of Cornerstone will speak directly to alumni and friends—as near as Ayden and as far as Zambia. So many people have asked to hear more about the how and why of the naming of Harriot College that our first article features a conversation with Keats Sparrow, the man whose vision and drive brought this naming process to fruition. You will learn, too, about the remarkable English Renaissance polymath Thomas Harriot and his own astonishing range of expertise and activities—a fitting model for the breadth of twenty-first century liberal studies. As you turn the pages, you will encounter a scientist with a passion for violins, a geographer with research roots in neighboring Greene County and distant Tierra Caliente (Mexico), a successful Advancement Council councilor who works in the design and marketing of modern-amenity homes with a traditional fl air, and a young patent-holding chemistry alumnus whose scholarly investigations were fostered in Harriot College. In their article, Scott Wells (major gifts officer) and Leslie Worley (director of development) talk about some of the profound ways that Harriot College and its students can benefit from gifts designated for the college. But true communication is a two-way street. You, too, are part of the whole story of Harriot College. We look forward to hearing from you and including your part of the conversation in future issues. Sincerely, Alan R. White, Dean Life of Harriot Inspires College’s Name, Works Harriot Inspires College’s Name, Works Dr. Keats Sparrow s interest in the life and work of Thomas Harriot led to ECU’s College of Arts and Sciences being named in honor of the English Renaissance intellectual.

Ross Inglis August 1995 Hemisphere.” James van Fleet September 1995 “[The] proposal to name the College of Arts & Sciences for Hariot is inspired. [It presents] the opportunity . . . of restoring in the public’s mind Hariot’s primacy among the founders ofmodern science.” Douglas W. Foard “[Naming the College for Thomas Hariot] would give the University an opportunity to stress the very early association of such a versatile scholar with the region.” Historian and Professor Emeritus, UNC-CH Secretary, The Phi Beta Kappa SocietyOctober 1995 William S. Powell November 1995 “Hariot’s brilliance as a scientist, historian, linguist, explorer, anthropologist, and mathematician defined what it meant to be a ‘Renaissance man.’ [Hariot’s] seminal work atRoanoke Island and the surrounding region in 1585–1586 set the foundation for all future English writing about the natural history of the New World.” Jeffrey J. Crow Deputy Secretary, North Carolina Office of Archives and HistoryOctober 2002 Musical MASTERPIECES Scientist’s Passion for Violins Helps Unlock Secrets of Instruments’ Beauty, Complexity In medieval alchemy, men sought the magical “philosopher’s stone” that would turn base metal into gold. For violinists, Antonio Stradivari did just that with wood, craftsmanship, and varnish. And since his time, performers and instrument makers alike have been on a quest to discover his secrets and to craft instruments of comparable perfection. Today, in Greenville, George Bissinger has created a lab that is working to unlock those same secrets. Harriot College’s Acoustics Laboratory is a world center for the study of the factors—material and tonal—that create “musical masterpieces.” Bissinger— with inspiration, scientifi c techniques and equipment, and passion—is studying and measuring every imaginable aspect of the violin. In contact with musicians, instrument makers, and scientists around the world, Bissinger and his lab are unlocking more and more secrets and coming closer to finding the philosopher’s stone of tonal perfection for violins. He takes them apart, he puts them together, he records them with an array of microphones in a special anechoic chamber. “I am fascinated by the infinite variations in the material from which violins are made,” he says. “Unlike metal, no two pieces of wood are alike and no two places on the same piece of wood are identical. Minute variations in grain across the thin wooden membranes that are the top and bottom surfaces of a violin can redirect how the sound travels within the instrument and eventually to the ear of the listener.” “Computer programs help us to study how the instrument moves under the fingers and bow of a player—we want to know what exact part of an instrument is active at a certain frequency,” he adds. “All these kinds of details combine to provide the most complete picture of what an instrument is and how it reacts in the hands of the artist.” But great instruments are not just the sum of their complex material parts. “What makes our Acoustics Laboratory unique is that we study not only the physical properties of an instrument, but we also simultaneously record the tonal output of an instrument. We’re looking for what it is in the myriad physical variables of violins that are related to the sound. Because it’s all about sound, isn’t it?” A Stradivarius is not just a stringed instrument from a small city in northern Italy. With its apparently infinite variables, it is one of the most complicated creations of humankind. “Ah, but the greatest variable? Well—it’s the player,” Bissinger says. “An artist can draw extraordinary sound out of an ordinary instrument. And out of a great instrument . . . ? We’ve not been able to quantify beauty—just treasure it for its golden moments. Maybe it’s the artist who is the real alchemist.” 8 9 Fostering positive relationships. Serving the community. Developing the economy. Through research, outreach, and education aimed at building bridges between two cultures, an East Carolina geography professor is turning these important opportunities into positive realities. Funded by a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER grant, Professor Rebecca Torres is immersing herself in fi ve years of work that focuses on building a network of bridges to the future—bridges between eastern North Carolina communities and Mexico, between ECU students and the eastern North Carolina communities that they will serve, and between eastern North Carolina and distant regions that are also experiencing dramatic demographic changes. Herself the daughter of immigrants and fl uent in both English and Spanish, Torres connects directly with our Latino population, observing that “for a lot of our North Carolina rural areas, Latino migration has actually had a positive eff ect, revitalizing depopulated communities and fostering vibrant human interaction between established North Carolinians and new Latino communities.” Torres and colleague Jeff Popke are identifying the root causes of out-migration from Mexico to eastern North Carolina. From this fi rst phase of investigation, Torres will develop Latino migration courses for students in Harriot College’s Department of Geography, classes that will focus on the theoretical and the actual. In turn, the outreach component of the grant will enable ECU students to immerse themselves in their service communities and build their own bridges as they become better-informed global citizens. From the wealth of information gained through outreach, Torres and ECU’s Regional Development Institute will also create models and make them available online—impacting other rapidly changing regions across the nation and strengthening our state’s bridges with neighbors national and global. These new bridges share the foundations with those laid in the Los Puentes (The Bridges) program in Greene County where Torres lives. There, elementary grade students benefi t from a fully integrated bilingual approach to education—expanding knowledge, enhancing cross-cultural understandings, and enjoying enlarged horizons. Torres, her colleagues, her students, and members of in-migration and out-migration communities are embarking on this important NSF-funded journey across bridges yet unknown and unbuilt. Professor Helps Build Bridges Between Communities Dr. Rebecca Torres received a $430,000 National Science Foundation grant to research Latino presence in eastern North Carolina and Latino infl uence on the region’s rural areas. Here, she shares a moment with elementary school students in Greene County.

Preservation Homes has expanded to build furniture that complements the bungalow style and to become an importer of fine woods that are sustainably forested in places around the globe. But Bland and his associates are not just building economic “community” through their associations around the world—they are building community here in North Carolina. With their “rocking chair deep front porches” and their “arts and crafts houses for the next millennium,” Bland and Preservation Homes build a sense of neighborhood where people know each other and enjoy their own piece of the American dream. Harriot College Alum Constructs the American Dream Preservation Homes has expanded to build furniture that complements the bungalow style and to become an importer of fine woods that are sustainably forested in places around the globe. But Bland and his associates are not just building economic “community” through their associations around the world—they are building community here in North Carolina. With their “rocking chair deep front porches” and their “arts and crafts houses for the next millennium,” Bland and Preservation Homes build a sense of neighborhood where people know each other and enjoy their own piece of the American dream. Harriot College Alum Constructs the American Dream Greenville native and ECU alum Tom Bland credits his alma mater for its service to the region. An employer of ECU graduates, the founder of Preservation Homes of Raleigh notes the “huge reservoir of talent available from East Carolina. The founder of Preservation Homes of Raleigh remarks that he and his firm didn’t invent the bungalow style—they just made it perfect. Preservation Home owners enjoy modern amenities such as spacious kitchens, luxury baths, and generous room dimensions that have been sensitively integrated with the traditional grace and comfort of this American style. An “idea” man, Tom Bland started his ECU academic career in the School of Art and took courses in journalism and communication. The breadth of his interests has enabled him to reach into the imaginations of contemporary home-buyers and fulfi ll dreams with a range of home options. “For years, my favorite television show has been This Old House. And Preservation Homes has discovered that my own passion for architecture and traditional homes is shared by discriminating buyers in the Triangle and in ever-expanding markets.” “My connection with ECU actually goes back several generations,” he adds. “My father was raised on Ninth Street—right about where Joyner Library’s clock tower now stands. And before him, my grandmother rented rooms to ECU students.” Bland’s firm is definitely part of the Pirate Nation—no fewer than seven employees are ECU graduates and his daughter (who worked during summer 2006 as a receptionist) is a rising junior in ECU’s College of Business. Bland himself continues a close association with his alma mater: he is a member of the Pirate Club, the Circle of Excellence, and Harriot College’s Advancement Council. “An enormous amount of the economic activity and the vitality in eastern North Carolina can be traced directly back to East Carolina University’s regional presence,” he says. “Certainly our state’s most valuable undiscovered resource is ‘down east.’ Preservation Homes has benefited from the outstanding programs that have graduated outstanding students who have gone on to become outstanding employees. And other employers are discovering this huge reservoir of talent available from East Carolina.” QUIZ QUIZ Harriot College Grad’s Journey of Learning Takes Him to Empire State Which of the following have connections to rising-star Harriot College alumnus Joseph Kaloko? a.

Making a contribution to children’s health h. All of the above Mixing it Up in New York Mixing it Up in New York I I n the classic liberal arts tradition, Joseph Kaloko began his journey of lifelong learning as a child in Sierra Leone. Raised by his grandfather after his parents had emigrated to the United States, Kaloko attended schools in Freetown before joining his parents in Woodbridge, Virginia, in 1992, where he graduated from high school. Advised by a counselor to attend a community college and then get a job because “that was probably all that I would be able to do,” Kaloko began by following this advice in spite of his interest in medicine. But conversations with friends and fellow workers at TGI FRiDAY’S convinced him that there were other options for him. An ECU student home for the summer recommended ECU, and the rest—as they say—is history. During his freshman year, Kaloko took first-semester organic chemistry with Dr. Anthony Hayford and became active in Hayford’s synthetic organic chemistry research lab. While working with Dr. Hayford, Kaloko—who enjoys research and discovery—investigated the synthesis of organic compounds which had medical applications. “We were lucky to discover a short, straightforward, and inexpensive way to synthesize 3-alkoxymethy indolizines [a common structure in many therapeutic compounds],” he says. “And we were able to react Fischer Carbenes with Heteroaromatic Enynes—a method previously almost entirely absent from scientific literature in the field. I hope that these and future results will one day be used to improve people’s lives.” Kaloko’s second-semester organic chemistry class with Dr. Brian Love confirmed Kaloko’s fascination with the field. Kaloko comments, “If I had any doubts about organic chemistry, Dr. Love erased those doubts in me and showed an enthusiasm for his subject and a genuine concern for his students.” Of the many people who helped to shape this young scientist (now a PhD student at the State University of New York at Stony Brook), the late East Carolina Department of Chemistry “My experiences chair Chia-yu Li was among the most prominent. “It is nearly at ECU directly impossible to express in words influenced my what Dr. Li meant to me.

I want to help change that.” When he is not working in the lab, Joseph Kaloko enjoys playing and watching soccer, cooking big meals, reading John Grisham novels, and discussing politics with family and friends. For this twenty-first-century “renaissance man,” the answer to the quiz is “h”—all of the above. 12 13 During the past academic year, hundreds of friends have generously supported Thomas Harriot College of Arts and Sciences with their financial gifts.
