Online Degree Program in Fire, Arson and Explosion Investigation First of Its Kind in Nation

Eastern Kentucky University’s online bachelor of science degree program in Fire, Arson and Explosion Investigation will be the first of its kind in the nation. The EKU Online degree program gives students the opportunity to earn a fully accredited online degree from faculty who are foremost in the field today.

“As a fire investigator, you want to have solid credentials and be recognized as a true expert in the evolving field of fire science so that you can report your findings and testify in court with confidence,” said Jim Pharr, chair and associate professor in the department of Safety, Security and Emergency Management. “We get students ready to do that.”

The University’s on-campus Fire, Arson and Explosion Investigation program has successfully prepared leaders in the field for more than 30 years. EKU graduates hold city, state, and federal investigative positions, and are working as fire and explosion investigators for manufacturers, engineering firms, insurance companies, and private investigative companies nationwide.

The new online program, which will result in the same EKU degree, is designed especially for working professionals in the field who are seeking career advancement. Students will be immediately assimilated into an environment focused on elevating the level of research, knowledge, and application of engineering and science to the field of fire, arson, and explosion investigation.

“Our online format allows students to study with leading professionals in the field, get regular feedback from those instructors and even get hands-on lab experience,” explained Pharr.

A highlight of the curriculum will be two weeks at the EKU Fire Labs on the Richmond campus, where courses will focus on conducting fire origin and cause investigations, investigating explosion scenes and examining devices and products to determine failure modes.  

EKU launched an online degree program in Fire Protection and Safety Engineering Technology in 2007 and also offers an online program in Fire Protection Administration. Advances in instructional design give faculty a variety of ways to convey their expertise in an online learning environment. Whether providing students with video feedback, offering virtual office hours or enhancing video lectures with computer-generated, 3-D models, faculty are committed to helping students succeed. 

Faculty teaching in the new online program include Pharr, a 30-year fire service veteran who served as a fire fighter, investigator, fire chief and emergency management director before becoming an educator, and Tom Thurman, a former FBI special agent who investigated the bombing of Pan American Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, as well as the bombings of the Oklahoma City federal building and the World Trade Center Towers. Many of the EKU faculty members are certified fire and explosion investigators who are still actively involved in the field. In addition to authoring the industry’s top textbooks, they hold various leadership positions within the profession, including membership on the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 1033 Technical Committee, which writes the “Standard for Professional Qualifications for the Fire Investigator.”

Those who apply by July 13 can start classes in Fall 2013.

Named one of the Top 10 Online Colleges in the Nation by "Best Colleges" in 2010, EKU is a fully accredited, brick-and-mortar institution celebrating more than 100 years of student success. EKU Online offers more than 20 degree options in a variety of fields, including Education, Psychology, Paralegal Studies, Police Studies, Corrections, Juvenile Justice, Occupational Safety, Fire Protection and Homeland Security.

CHICKASAW NATION GOVERNOR ANOATUBBY TO ADDRESS ECU’S FALL GRADUATES ON DEC. 15

ECU's mission is to foster a learning environment in which students,
faculty, staff and community interact to educate students for life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Central University Communications and Marketing580-559-5650 or 405-812-1428 (cell)

Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby will address candidates for bachelor’s and master’s degrees during fall Commencement ceremonies at East Central University on Saturday, Dec. 15.

The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. in the Kerr Activities Center for 242 candidates for bachelor’s degrees and 102 candidates for master’s degrees.

Anoatubby has served as governor of the Chickasaw Nation since 1987. His effective leadership has led to ongoing growth within the tribe.

When Anoatubby took office as governor, the Chickasaw Nation had only 250 employees. Today, it employs over 12,000. The financial conditions of the tribe have been improved tremendously. Funding for tribal operations has grown exponentially. Tribal assets have grown twentyfold.

His leadership not only spurred the financial growth and success of the Chickasaw Nation, but his influence has also helped preserve the proud history and culture of the tribe. Anoatubby’s efforts have led to a cultural and language renaissance among the Chickasaw Nation, including the construction of the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur, a state-of-the-art campus which celebrates the legacy of the Chickasaw people while serving as a supreme learning tool.

In his role as chief executive of the Chickasaw Nation, Anoatubby has made education, jobs, health care, preservation of the environment and business development as priorities in his governorship, all of which have sustained success and growth.

Prior to becoming Governor of the Chickasaw Nation, Anoatubby served as the first Lieutenant Governor from 1979-1987. He has been active in tribal government since 1975. His previous positions include director of tribal health services, director of finance, and special assistant to the governor and controller.

Anoatubby earned his degree in accounting from ECU in 1972. That education coupled with his effective business management skills have made the Chickasaw Nation, the 13th largest tribe in the United States, a model of continuing economic growth and a proud historical and cultural heritage.

Share music folder ONLY

Dear all, I am having the following issue I hope you can help with:

I am running itunes under windows 8. I have setup two users on the same desktop. Only me has iphone / ipad. Installing itunes it has put its libraries under my user account. However, I wish to share ONLY the music files with the other user i.e. for him to able and listen to the same music files directly from his account. I can obviously give him access rights to the folder but I don't really want to do that. The good option would be to place ONLY the music files under the PUBLIC user account - but I don't know how to do this!

I have found some articles / solutions talking about moving the itunes media folder under "public" account  - but this means that other items apart from music is transfered (not desirable). Any suggestions or directions?

Thank you in advance

University Singers to Perform at New York City's Carnegie Hall April 8

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?

Join the University Singers at Eastern Kentucky University.

Of course, as the old joke goes, it does help to practice, and 31 EKU students will realize the benefits of all their hard work and experience a “once-in-lifetime opportunity” Monday, April 8, when they perform in the fabled New York City concert venue.

Under the direction of Dr. Richard Waters, the University Singers will perform six selections as part of a program that also features a large masterworks choir comprised of singers from across the U.S.

“We submitted recordings of some of our performances from last year to Manhattan Concert Productions, a New York-based company that brings together ensembles from across the country to perform at some of the world’s greatest concert venues,” Waters said. “Based on those recordings, we were invited by MCP to perform on their concert series.”

The students have held several fund-raisers to support the trip, partnering with Old Kentucky Chocolates, Belk and Applebees. In addition, as a result of performances throughout the region, the group has received assistance from the Cecilian Club, Appalachian Children’s Home, Centenary United Methodist Church in Lexington, and individual donors.

The premier choral ensemble at EKU, the University Singers are comprised of singers selected on the basis of auditions at the beginning of each fall semester.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our students to perform in one of the world’s most revered concert halls,” Waters said. “The students in the University Singers recognize and embrace their role as representatives and ambassadors for the University, the community of Richmond, and the state of Kentucky whenever they go on tour.”

Since it opened in 1891, Carnegie Hall has “been the premier classical music performance in the United States,” Waters said. “Every major performer of the last 120 years has graced its stage. The chance to make music in the same space as Tchaikovsky, Mahler, Horowitz, Copland, Bernstein and Pavarotti is extraordinary.”

The University Singers will perform “Christus est natus,” by Damijan Mocnik; “God Is Gone Up,” by Ned Rorem; “Nelly Bly,” arranged by John Halloran; “Ne Sedi, Djemo,” a Bosnian folk song arranged by Steven Sametz; “Fountain of Life;” a new composition that Waters wrote specifically for University Singers; and “I Can Feel the Spirit,” by Jeffery Ames.

In addition to the Carnegie Hall performance, the EKU group also will provide music for a Sunday worship service at Christ Church Riverdale in the Bronx, where EKU alum Tim Brumfield is director of music. The students will also have time to attend opera and/or Broadway performances and see other Big Apple sights.

faculty, staff and community interact to educate students for life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ECU ENTERS PARTNERSHIP WITH CHINESE INSTITUTIONS

ECU's mission is to foster a learning environment in which students,
faculty, staff and community interact to educate students for life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Central University Communications and Marketing580-559-5650 or 405-812-1428 (cell)Mr. Huang Shan (left), Assistant to the Dean of the Hunan University Law School, and East Central University President John Hargrave sign an agreement of cooperation between the two institutions in where ECU students can study at Hunan and vice versa.Pictured are 14 students from Hunan University who are attending East Central University this semester as part of a partnership and agreement of cooperation between the two institutions of higher learning. On the front row are: Sisi Deng (left to right), Yifei Ma, Hunjie Huang, Shifei Pan, Qing Qiing Xia, Chen Yue Zhan and Dr. Mara Sukholutskaya, Director of the ECU Global Education Department. On the back row are: Liang Tao (left to right), Hewei Ma, Xias Lan, Hao Huang, Hong Rong, Chen Yang, Hoy Cheng and Yin Hao Ling.

East Central University and Hunan University in China are continuing a partnership which should make a lasting impression with students from both institutions.

That impression is one of global learning and understanding with the signing of an agreement of cooperation which enables ECU students to learn at Hunan University and vice versa.

By virtue of this partnership, ECU can have joint research activities and academic programs; exchange or use facilities and equipment; and exchange of faculty members and graduate students for study and research. That memorandum of understanding between ECU and Hunan University was originally established nearly two years ago.

Representatives from Hunan University have been on campus this past week to learn about ECU, visit with several Chinese students from Hunan University, soak in the American culture and sign continuing agreement documents.

“We’re looking forward to a long-term partnership. We’re going to send more students to East Central University in the near future,” said Mr. Wong Keing Sing, director of international relations for the Hunan University Law School. “It’s important for our students to master the (English) language, learn how Americans work and to learn about a different culture.”

Certain areas of study have also fueled the interest of the visiting Chinese students.

“Business, Political Science, Legal Studies and Criminal Justice are what our students are most interested in,” said Mr. Huang Shan, also part of the visiting delegation and assistant to the dean of the Hunan University Law School. “I feel that Legal Studies will benefit future Hunan law students.”

Currently 16 students from Hunan University are studying at ECU.

A similar agreement was made between Hunan Women’s University and the Beijing Aviation University Shenzhen Research Center in the early fall of 2012.

ECU President John Hargrave, along with Dr. Mara Sukholutskaya, director of ECU’s Global Education Department, made a nine-day trip to Changsha, Xian and Beijing, China this past fall to tour the facilities and sign the agreement to formulate two study-abroad agreements of cooperation with Hunan Women’s University and the Beijing Aviation University Shenzhen Research Center.

“At ECU, we’re taking our students to the world and we’re bringing the world to Ada,” said Hargrave. “We currently have opportunities in Europe. We were looking for additional partners and China was the obvious choice. It’s the second-largest economy in the world and it’s the fastest growing economy in the world. China is becoming a big player in international business and politics.”

Cultural exchange has been pushed to the forefront of today’s world and Hargrave believes this opportunity is not only important for American students but those abroad. “People of China are highly motivated to give their students cultural exchange abroad. The United States is the first pick. For many years, China has understood the value of cultural exchange. They have programs with universities in every country of the world. China has the most international students currently in the United States. I think it’s important for East Central University to be involved in an arena that is going worldwide,” Hargrave said.

While in China, Sukholutskaya and Hargrave were able to meet with representatives from Hunan, a university with around 40,000 undergraduate students and 17,000 graduate students as well as visit with potential global education students and their parents. Hargrave also delivered a lecture at the Hunan Law School on the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution. He also talked about the state of Oklahoma and ECU during his speech.

The group also took part in several cultural activities and was able to visit various museums.

“We were treated very nicely. Wherever we went, everyone was hospitable and very interested in learning about us,” Sukholutskaya said.

The two-way street is now open to for ECU students to learn at Hunan University and Hunan Women’s University.

“I invite our students and faculty to consider taking advantage of this unique opportunity and go to Hunan University for either short-term or long-term programs,” said Sukholutskaya.

That relationship is just part of the global experience afforded at ECU, which has students from approximately 40 countries around the world on campus.

“Many of our students take advantage of our outbound programming and attend classes in foreign countries,” Hargrave said. “East Central University enjoys an active international student experience. We will work together to develop programs to benefit both universities.”

NOTE: The Hunan contingent also visited the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur, along with making a trip to Oklahoma City to tour the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum and Oklahoma City National Memorial. The group also learned Western culture by visiting a couple of ranches.

EPA GRANT AWARDED TO DR. DANE SCOTT, EAST CENTRAL UNIVERSITY; GROUP TO PRESENT WORK IN WASHINGTON D.C. ON APRIL 19

ECU's mission is to foster a learning environment in which students,
faculty, staff and community interact to educate students for life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Central University Communications and Marketing580-559-5650 or 405-812-1428 (cell)

These three East Central University students (from left) Josh Smith, Cody Soden and Laura Blanco-Berdugo, along with Dr. Dane Scott, of the ECU Department of Chemistry, are headed to Washington D.C. later this month to present their work after being awarded a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency last fall.

- # # # -

Environmental issues are important at East Central University and Dr. Dane W. Scott, in the Department of Chemistry, is at the forefront of making them valid.

Scott and ECU was recently chosen by the Environmental Protection Agency for a 2012-2013 P3 Award, a national student design competition for sustainability, focusing on people, prosperity and the planet. 

This grant is the only one awarded to an individual and institution in the state of Oklahoma.

The EPA grant is called Making a Solid State Organic Photovoltaic Cell More Efficient and Economically Beneficial: The Relationship Between Dielectric Constant, Exciton Diffusion Length and Efficiency.

The study focuses on solar cells that are devices that convert solar energy into electricity but are not used in everyday lives as they have limitations due to cost, availability, stability and lack of efficiency.

Scott’s approach to studying this problem will use charged polymeric membranes to increase the dielectric constant of the solar cell with the goal of improving stability, lowering cost and increasing efficiency of solid state organic cells.

Scott and ECU students have been working on the project. Josh Smith, a senior from Ardmore; Cody Soden, a senior from Owasso; and Laura Blanco-Berdugo, of Colombia; along with Scott will present their work at the National Mall in Washington D.C. on April 19.

Details of this study can be found at http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncer_abstracts/index.cfm/fuseaction/display.abstractDetail/abstract/9851/

Three Finalists Announced for EKU Presidency

Three finalists to become the 12th president of Eastern Kentucky University were announced today by the institution’s Presidential Search and Screening Committee.

The finalists are: Dr. Michael T. Benson, President of Southern Utah University; Dr. Gregg Lassen, Vice President for Finance and Operations, Lamar University; and Dr. Alan T. Shao, Dean of the School of Business, College of Charleston.

Each of the finalists will visit the University for tours and a series of meetings and forums. Benson will be on campus from Sunday evening, March 24 through noon on Tuesday, March 26. Lassen will be on campus from Tuesday evening, March 26 through noon on Thursday, March 28. Shao will be at EKU from Monday evening, April 1 until noon on Wednesday, April 3. A full itinerary of each finalist’s visit is posted at www.presidentialsearch.eku.edu/finalists. Each Presidential Candidate Open Forum will be viewable by live video stream at www.eku.edu.

“It is with great pride and excitement that we introduce the three finalists,” said Craig Turner, chair of both the EKU Presidential Search and Screening Committee and the University’s Board of Regents. “We are confident that all three of these candidates have the ability to lead this institution.”

The selection of the finalists follows “an extensive national search,” Turner noted. “This is an outstanding group of presidential finalists, each of whom has demonstrated proven leadership in all aspects of higher education administration, classroom instruction and scholarship. Drs. Benson, Lassen and Shao are each recognized by their respective institutions and constituencies to have the vision, fortitude, passion and leadership necessary to meet difficult and complex challenges and seize opportunities to take EKU to the next level of academic excellence. Additionally, the finalists have demonstrated an active and productive engagement in their respective communities and service regions by developing and enhancing business, industry, government and educational collaborations.”

Full biographies of each of the candidates can also be found at www.presidentialsearch.eku.edu/finalists. Abbreviated biographies of the finalists follow:

Dr. Michael T. Benson         

Benson has served as the 15th President of Southern Utah University since 2006. A Salt Lake City native who grew up in Texas, he has nearly 20 years of administrative experience in higher education, also including the presidency of Snow College.

While at Snow, Benson helped raise more money in his five-year tenure than in the previous 117 years of the institution’s history combined.  Currently, he is leading efforts at Southern Utah University to raise $30 million for the Southern Utah Center for the Arts; more than $28 million of that amount has been raised so far.

He has also directed the development and implementation of SUU’s largest and most ambitious comprehensive campaign, The Future is Rising. More than $85 million of the $100 million goal has already been raised or pledged. In December 2012, Dr. Benson announced the largest gift in the University’s history – $5 million – for the construction of a new Shakespeare Theatre. That news came on the heels of a $4 million gift to establish a scholarship and research endowment within the College of Science and Engineering.

During the 2009 Legislative session, Benson was successful in procuring state support for SUU’s Science Center – an expanded undergraduate classroom and laboratory complex totaling nearly $20 million in new construction.  

In 2011, Utah Business named Benson one of the “100 Most Influential People in Utah.”

Tobey Hatton is the winner of East Central University’s prestigious George Nigh Award as the top graduating senior for 2012-2013.

Hatton, of Pauls Valley, received the award Friday at a luncheon honoring him and four other finalists Lindsey Dugan, of McAlester; Ashley Cardwell, of Mustang; Checed Rodgers, of Stonewall; and Kristin Belicek, of Purcell, for their outstanding academic achievements.

Former Oklahoma Gov. George Nigh, who was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives when he was a senior at ECU, answered questions from the finalists before the winner was announced.

Hatton received $1,000 for the award, which is based on academic achievement, character and potential contribution to public service.

The late Julian Rothbaum, a Tulsa oil man, banker and one-time state regent for higher education, established an endowment through the East Central University Foundation Inc. to fund the Nigh Award in honor of the former governor.

Nigh, also a former president of the University of Central Oklahoma, served four terms in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, four terms as lieutenant governor and two terms as governor.

Hatton graduated in December with a bachelor’s of science in biology with a pre-dental concentration. He also minored in business administration and chemistry. He plans to apply to dental school at the University of Oklahoma/College of Dentistry this fall.

He has made the President’s and Dean’s Honor Rolls at ECU as well as acquiring memberships to the Alpha Chi National College Honor Society and TriBeta College Honor Society. He also earned the Raniyah Ramadan Scholarship, Presidential Plus Scholarship, Francisco-Hatchett Scholarship and James A. Thomas Scholarship.

Besides being a member of the ECU Business Club since 2011 and a guitarist for the Cornerstone Community Church Worship Band for four years, Hatton has volunteered for the Free Community Thanksgiving Dinner at Little Ben’s Pizza for eight years, 5-7 Food Ministry, Cornerstone Community Church youth group for two years and Mission Arlington Christmas Store for three years.

Finalist Lindsey Dugan will graduate in May with a bachelor’s of arts degree in English with a minor in mass communications. Dugan has received ECU’s Presidential Plus Scholarship and is a member of ECU’s Honors Society; Literati, an organization dedicated to the literary arts; Sigma Tau Delta, an English Honors Society; and Rotaract, an organization dedicated to world cooperation. She also won the 2012 Reed Loving Watt Award, is president and co-founder of the ECU Anime Club and is regular volunteer at P.A.W.S. animal shelter.

Ashley Cardwell, another finalist, is a math major at ECU and is expected to graduate in May. She received an ECU Regent Baccalaureate Scholarship, golf scholarship, James O. Danley Mathematics Scholarship and Mathematics Academic Achievement Award. Her activities include: ECU Honors Student Association as a peer mentor and treasurer, women’s golf team member, Alpha Chi member, NASA Fellow and McNair Scholar. She was the class valedictorian at Mustang High School.

Finalist Checed Rodgers is a computer science major who is expected to graduate in May. He has already obtained one bachelor’s degree in legal studies from ECU in 2010 and was a math minor. Rodgers has been a part of the ECU Honors Program. He participated in the ECU Legal Professionals Association by assisting with fundraising and community service efforts and was a Legal Research and Writing Scholar. Rodgers also founded, coordinated and participated in a no-cost math tutoring program for local Native American grade school, high school students and children of tribal employees.

Finalist Kristin Belicek, who will graduate in May with a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education, is a member of the Alpha Chi National Honor Society and has been on the ECU Dean’s Honor Roll all four years. Belicek has served a student teacher at Francis Elementary School and has planned units, taught lessons and assessed students at the Ada Early Childhood Center and Hays Grade Center.

BAIRD NAMED ECU ENTREPRENEUR OF YEAR; TO DELIVER LIMES LECTURE ON FEB. 15

ECU's mission is to foster a learning environment in which students,
faculty, staff and community interact to educate students for life.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

East Central University Communications and Marketing580-559-5650 or 405-812-1428 (cell)

Jeff Baird, who has crafted inventions for the energy, oil and gas and plumbing industries, will be honored as East Central University’s 2013 Entrepreneur of the Year and will deliver the Leonard Limes Endowed Lecture at noon Friday, Feb. 15, at the Stanley Wagner Ballroom in the Memorial Student Union.

Among Baird’s inventions is the no-clog, self-cleaning drain p-trap, called PermaFlow, in the plumbing industry and electromagnetic generator for the energy industry.

Baird’s no-clog drain trap was named one of 100 best inventions of the year, which appeared in the December 2008 edition of Popular Science Magazine. In fact, it was one of 10 pictured on the front cover.

The PermaFlow has a knob on the outside of the drain and a flexible rubber paddle on the inside which rotates through the trap to push clogs downstream. PermaFlow also helps keep glop from gathering in the first place with a subtle angle in the incoming pipe which generates turbulence to carry it away. If something does get stuck, turning the paddle to nine o’clock creates a bypass through the top of the circle. Six gaskets protect the seal where the nob enters the trap, a redundancy that kept it watertight in test for up to 31,000 rotations.

The curious Baird always had the knack for inventing and much of his inspiration came from his great aunt and uncle, Neda and Harry Martin, and his grandfather Cecil Baird.

“My great aunt and uncle lived on a farm (near Elmore City), I started making stuff when I was 10-11 years old. They didn’t have any kids so I stayed there quite a bit and they encouraged me,” Jeff Baird said. “My grandfather made a lot of his own stuff. They all encouraged me and let me use all their material. I used a lot of wood and nails and wasted a lot of material.”

Baird’s trial-and-error testing methods eventually paid off as it has led to patents on around 20 items.

His first was an open-hole drill stem, which is a tool to retrieve formation fluids while drilling a well. That led to four licenses with Halliburton, according to Baird.

The electromagnetic generator has been the most difficult for Baird, who is a Byng High School graduate. Baird owned and operated Shamrock Testers for 22 years and was relocated back to Ada in 2011.

“With the electromagnetic generator, I didn’t know anything about electronics, so I had a lot of explosions and hurt myself quite a bit while everybody was laughing at me,” said Baird.

He credits his wife, Sandy, partners and local businesses for supporting him in his endeavors.

The lecture is free and open to the public, but guests need to RSVP for a limited number of seats by Wednesday, Feb. 6. For more information contact Jordan Morris, in the ECU School of Business, at 559-5274.
