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.

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)President Hargrave and Mr. Wong Keing SingMr. 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.Hunan China Students

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.
