S. RUDOLPH ALEXANDER PERFORMING ARTS SERIES

Ten Grammy Awards. Ten Dove Awards. Gospel Music Hall of Famers. Take 6 (Claude McKnight, Mark Kibble, Joel Kibble, Dave Thomas, Alvin Chea and Khristian Dentley), heralded by Quincy Jones as the “baddest vocal cats on the planet,” is the quintessential a cappella group and the model for vocal genius. Six virtuosic voices united in crystal clear harmony against a backdrop of syncopated rhythms, innovative arrangements and funky grooves that bubble into an intoxicating brew of gospel, jazz, R&B and pop. Feb. 18.

For more than three decades, The Peking Acrobats have redefined audience perceptions of Chinese acrobatics. With the Stars of the Shanghai Circus, they’ll perform daring maneuvers atop a precarious pagoda of chairs and display their technical prowess at such arts as trick-cycling, precision tumbling, juggling, somersaulting and gymnastics. March 11.

Defying convention and boundaries, Time For Three stands at the intersection of classical music and Americana. Bonded by an uncommon blend of their instruments fused together with their voices, Charles Yang (violin, vocals), Nicolas Kendall (violin, vocals) and Ranaan Meyer (double bass, vocals) have found a unique voice. April 1.

Two-thirds rhythm and one-third soul. That’s how Fats Waller defined the uniquely American form of popular music and dance known as swing. Requiring only joyful enthusiasm and a ready partner, swing exploded out of prewar Harlem’s hotbed of youth culture and swept the world. SWING! celebrates this remarkable diversity to the beat of the most exhilarating songs of the period. This enthralling song-and-dance show reminds us that swing isn’t a time or place but a state of mind. Feb. 22-26.

All SRAPAS events are at 7:30 p.m. in Wright Auditorium. Tickets are available at artscomm.ecu.edu/alexander-series.

ECU/LOESSIN PLAYHOUSE

works of visiting guest artists, our esteemed faculty and our student choreographers as we highlight the musical works of Kurt Weill. Each piece interprets Weill’s evolving musical style, before, during and after the Holocaust. March 22-26.

Pride and Prejudice is the theatrical version of Jane Austen’s classic novel involving manners, courtship and relationships. Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet’s most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother and a string of unsuitable suitors, it’s difficult to escape the subject. When she meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, all feelings of attraction are muted by his pride and her prejudice. As their attraction increases, they must overcome their own weaknesses and other obstacles before the most famous courtship in history can begin. April 19-23. FAMILY FARE Six-year-old C.J. is (reluctantly) staying with his (extremely overthe-top) Nana, in a world considerably different from the one he’s used to (his phone and tablet). The disagreeable (and let’s just admit it, whiny) child is dragged on a bus ride that’s loud, gritty and weird. Guided by his veritable force-of-nature Nana, C.J. sees that things are not always what they seem. ECU Storybook Theatre presents The Last Stop on Market Street, a hip-hop, eclectic, heart-thumpin’, toe-tappin’ joyride March 31 in Wright Auditorium and April 6 at the Paramount Theatre in Goldsboro.

OPERA ECU Opera Theater presents a series of scenes and narrations as part of the students’ workshop in lyric theater performing technique. The program will feature many well-known operatic classics.

PURPLE PASSION GOLD STANDARD

Meredith Bullard

What does receiving this scholarship mean to you?

I feel honored because there are hundreds of other students who could have been selected as the recipient of my scholarship. I feel successful because this achievement is about more than money. It validates the long hours spent in the library, sacrifices and time put into my extracurricular activities. To know I was selected means all my hard work and efforts have been acknowledged.

What do you like most about your major?

Engineering is all around you. I have learned over the past four years that engineering is a way of thinking. It continues to challenge me and allow me to solve problems that can have more than one answer. It combines creativity, passion, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills to reach an end goal. I chose the biomedical concentration because it brought together my passion for helping people and wanting to learn more about the human body. And to top it all off, the professors are excellent and want to help their students succeed in all aspects of life.

Why should alumni support scholarships?

College can be a lot to take on at times. Finding your community, performing well in school and finding the means to pay for it can be stressful. Supporting scholarships means that you are taking one of those loads off somebody’s shoulders. I hope to one day give back to ECU so another student like me can receive the college experience that I have been so fortunate to have. Hometown: Greenville, North Carolina Major: Biomedical engineering Career goals: To use my knowledge of engineering to make a positive impact on people’s lives Scholarships: James and Connie Hackney Scholarship, Honors and Access Scholarships

What advice would you give someone thinking about applying to ECU?

One thing that stuck out to me about ECU when I was looking at colleges was the campus. I wanted the size of a larger university with the feel of a small campus. After I toured the campus and did my research on majors that interested me, I knew ECU was going to be a place where I would excel. Additionally, seeing the Pirate community supporting all aspects of the university, from academics to athletics, was a deciding factor for me.

GRANT TO SUPPORT MINORITY PUBLIC HEALTH GRADUATE STUDENTS AT ECU

Eastern North Carolina, with its high levels of poverty and disadvantaged communities, is riddled with high rates of preventable chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease and obesity. The COVID-19 pandemic only made things worse, exposing the ongoing need for a strong public health infrastructure.

Thanks to a $1.3 million grant from the North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation, undergraduates representing underserved groups from the state’s minority-serving institutions are in the running for full-ride scholarships for health promotion graduate programs at East Carolina University. The program’s goals are simple: Get health promotion-trained minority graduates into rural and underserved communities to help turn the tide on rural North Carolina’s poor health outcomes.

The first contingent of students will come from Fayetteville State University and the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, with the program expanding to the UNC System’s historically Black colleges and universities in the coming years.

“It is exciting to see this program supporting diversity and providing opportunities to underserved students centered on public health graduate educational attainment, and the future impact of those educated through our commitment to this program shows promise to impact the health of the eastern N.C. residents for years to come,” said Marilyn Foote-Hudson, executive director of the N.C. GlaxoSmithKline Foundation.

About a dozen prospective applicants will participate in a summer immersion program each year — living on campus, meeting with potential graduate school mentors, building a peerto-peer community of early career scholars and preparing to apply for admission to ECU.

The program will also include research experiences and professional development opportunities such as writing resumes, building communication and interviewing skills and gaining exposure to career opportunities in research and public health.

Ten students a year for the next four years selected from the summer immersion program will be given full tutition for one of ECU’s health promotion graduate degrees: public health, environmental health, health education, biology and molecular biology, and biotechnology.

FSU Chancellor Darrell Allison said North Carolina’s future is tied to a strong public health infrastructure. “Our partnership with ECU aligns with Fayetteville State’s strategic priorities of academic excellence, sustaining the university into the future and providing a real and lasting impact in the communities that our students come from,” he said. – Benjamin Abel

Mitchell finished with 29 carries for 149 yards and three touchdowns plus four catches for 28 yards. The sophomore from McDonough, Georgia, also hauled in a crucial game-tying score in the third overtime.
