Dean’s Perspective

Our faculty collectively completed 246 service activities for professional organizations, 608 service activities for the college and university, and 131 service activities for the broader community.

The past academic year brought many challenges. A significant amount of time and effort was consumed addressing the budget situation at the college and university. We successfully budgeted $606,611 to help offset the state’s structural deficit within our operating budget. This significant reduction was not without worrisome consequences and necessitated some internal financial restructuring, but no additional job losses.

New faculty positions were limited, but we were able to hire seven faculty replacements and two new faculty, as well as add two advisors to the CHE Student Services Center. Enrollments outpaced our ability to increase the number of faculty. This combination of factors meant burgeoning class sizes for many of our already overworked faculty. Overall, the faculty produced 51,342 student credit hours.

Despite the heavy teaching load, the faculty continued to produce research and other creative activities at a high level. Over the last academic year, collectively, the faculty published 141 journal articles, 13 books, 18 creative activities, numerous book chapters and conference papers, and made 193 presentations. In 2010, faculty grants yielded approximately $1.75 million in funds to support faculty research and program efforts, with the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics leading the way, followed closely by the Department of Child Development and Family Relations. Eighteen of the faculty won major university, UNC system, and/ or professional awards. Six faculty members undertook major leadership roles in professional organizations, including one with 70,000 members.

Faculty also worked with graduate and undergraduate researchers to produce 17 journal articles, 19 manuscripts under review, and 92 presentations, as well as book chapters and conference proceedings. These efforts resulted in seven awards.

Through the hard work of the faculty, the college continued to improve the depth and breadth of our students’ educational experience. Our curriculum continued to grow and improve as a result of a revised undergraduate curriculum in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, an integrated care model for medical family therapy students and medical students, and the incorporation of Second Life technologies into social work, hospitality management, and interior design and merchandising courses, and updates to many course offerings across the college. Student access to education was facilitated by statewide articulation agreements with community colleges for early childhood education, birth through kindergarten education, as well as a new online MAEd program in family and consumer sciences. Student cultural boundaries were expanded through three CHE study-abroad opportunities to the countries of Italy, France, the Commonwealth of Dominica, and China. International connections were also forged with Bhutan, Bahrain, Peru, Kenya, Ecuador, Turkey, and Portugal, as well as other countries.

True to the college motto of “enriching lives, enhancing communities,” the faculty stepped forward to aid those in eastern North Carolina and beyond. Our faculty collectively completed 246 service activities for professional organizations, 608 service activities for the college and university, and 131 service activities for the broader community. Marginalized populations that benefitted from this service included, among others, the west Greenville community, Hmong people, Latinos, North Carolina Native American tribes, and Dominicans.

As we enter academic year 2010–2011, the College of Human Ecology will face the ongoing challenge of increasing our competitive advantage in teaching, research/creative activities, and service in the face of even greater pressure on our operating budget. We must continue to find ways to do more with less. At the same time, we must continue to improve the quality of our faculty and student experience. Our success in the coming year will be measured by our ability to • heighten awareness of our programs and further enhance the image of the college through teaching, research and service, • continue to be proactive in finding ways to increase the diversity and cultural knowledge of our faculty and students, and • continue to seek new gifts and commitments through fundraising efforts focused on student and faculty support, as well as improvements to the Rivers Building to enhance the working and learning environment.

Accolades are owed to the talented CHE faculty and staff who have produced so many accomplishments over the last year and who have endeavored to improve our students’ experiences in difficult financial times.

Best wishes,

Judy Siguaw, Professor and Dean 4

Feature Stories Social Work and Criminal Justice Take on New Leadership Shelia Grant Bunch

William P. Bloss

Dr. Shelia Grant Bunch became director of the School of Social Work in July 2010. She has been an integral part of the social-work faculty for 24 years, serving on many community, school, and university committees. She earned a PhD in sociology from North Carolina State University and an MSW from the University of North Carolina– Chapel Hill. She had been serving as interim director of the school since 2008, and she is the former coordinator of the baccalaureate social work degree program. Bunch has published in the areas of grandparenting and kinship, intimate partner violence, and rural social work.

One priority for Bunch, a Bertie County native, is for the School of Social Work to maintain its dedication to student and faculty service within the community. “There are lots of opportunities for students to provide service in the community as they are learning how to practice social work in those settings,” she says. Social work students complete internships across North Carolina, in settings including schools, hospitals, outpatient medical clinics, substance-abuse treatment centers, and prisons, among many others. Faculty members work in the field as well, completing research and staying current with the changing face of the community’s needs. For Bunch, it is vital that she stay immersed in community service, “primarily because one can become lost in administrative duties and be removed from real people and real problems and situations,” she says. “It keeps me connected to the things I’m interested in. I always knew I was a natural helper.”

She also stays focused on serving in leadership roles. In addition to serving as the principal investigator for the ECU Child Welfare Education Collaborative, Bunch has been principal investigator and co-principal investigator on the following grants: Addressing Violence During and Around the Time of Pregnancy; Pregnancy and Depression: Pilot Study of a Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention in Pregnancy for Low-Income Women with Depressive Symptoms; and Insight-Plus: A Cognitive Behavioral Intervention Pilot Study for Pregnancy African-American and Caucasian Low-Income Women with Depressive Symptoms.

Bunch wants to use her breadth of experience to help shape graduates of ECU’s School of Social Work. She foresees the challenges in an ever-changing field, including changing demographics, and stereotypes and misconceptions about the social-work profession. She plans to build on the infrastructure of a successful, growing program, expanding its reach through alumni networking and study-abroad opportunities. “We live in a global society now,” she says. “Studyabroad experiences would really enhance learning and growth.” Bunch also plans to work with faculty to produce well-rounded, well-prepared graduates who can make a difference in the lives that make up that global society, using empathy, problem-solving skills, and therapeutic alliances with client systems while “looking at the big picture,” Bunch says. “We teach them to be in tune with themselves and to increase their self-awareness.”

William “Bill” Bloss assumed duties as chair of the Department of Criminal Justice in June 2010. Bloss held former appointments as professor of criminal justice and director of the international criminal justice studies program at The Citadel. He earned a PhD in criminal justice and MA in criminology from Sam Houston State University. Bloss has served as a regional police academy director, police training coordinator, and law enforcement officer.

His research focuses on transnational crime, international terrorism, comparative crime and criminal justice, police practice, surveillance, and privacy rights in criminal justice. In addition to being nationally recognized as an educator and scholar, Bloss is a fellow of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences and has been named to Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers.

Part of Bloss’s agenda at the helm of the criminal justice department is to “further develop an already robust and effective program,” he says.

“The sky’s the limit.” One area Bloss champions is the strong engagement of faculty members as teacher-scholars, a concept he wants to broaden through the visibility of their research that includes crime control, criminal-justice procedures, improving public safety and citizens’ quality of life, and the challenges that face these professionals in a post-September 11 world. “We face new challenges,” he says,” but we have new opportunities to contribute to public safety and homeland security.”

Bloss’s expertise and interests extend beyond the United States. He has conducted research in close to 40 countries on topics including international crime and terrorism, and drug and human trafficking.

He is a respected contributor to panels and councils worldwide. He has served as a grant-proposal peer reviewer for the United Kingdom’s Economic and Social Research Council since 2009 and was appointed in July 2010 to an international crime conference in Slovenia, among many other achievements and affiliations. Bloss plans to expand that global reach in the department and build off of current research initiatives.

Bloss also wants to work with faculty to produce highly skilled criminal-justice professionals from the department. “We want to fill students’ toolboxes with the tools they’ll need to enhance their understanding of criminal-justice processes,” he says, “but also the ability to be better critical thinkers and problem solvers in an increasingly complex world.” Similarly, he believes it is his responsibility to lead the department in making a global impact through faculty contributions as well. “We need to tell the world about what we’re doing,” Bloss says. “We’re doing good things, and we have a bright future.”

Even with his wealth of experience, Bloss looks to his new role as a learning opportunity as well. Part of his professional success has stemmed from being open to new perspectives and ideas. For him, it’s about “lifelong learning,” he says. “I’m excited to constantly be engaged in intellectual growth, and to continue to learn about the world around us.”

Alumni Spotlights Dana McQueen ’92 “I wake up each day looking forward to work.”

Dana (pronounced Dan-a) McQueen decided to become an interior designer at the tender age of five. As she was growing up, her dad, Danny McQueen, owner of the landmark McQueen’s Interiors (www. mcqueensinteriors.com) in Morehead City, North Carolina, tried unsuccessfully to interest her in less demanding occupations. “Dad knew that interior designers put in very long hours, and he wanted me to have it a little easier,” said Dana. But as an ECU interior design alumna and second-generation owner of McQueen’s Interiors, Dana has no regrets. “Dad was right. My business is demanding, but I love it. I wake up each day looking forward to work, and I feel very fortunate for that,” she says.

Though Dana might have worked part-time for her parents in college, she refrained. “I knew even then that a good interior designer must be committed to clients,” she says. “This business is about building relationships, and that requires a time commitment.” After graduating from ECU, Dana worked as a design assistant for another ECU grad, Joni Vanderslice, owner of J. Banks Design Group in Hilton Head, South Carolina. She began working for McQueen’s Interiors in 1993. The combination of work experience and the

bachelor’s degree gave Dana the knowledge and confidence to buy the business from her parents in 2009. “It’s great to have Dad as a consultant,” says Dana, “but I make all the major decisions for the store now and feel comfortable with that responsibility.” McQueen’s Interiors, a full service interior design store, opened its doors in 1973 on the causeway in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. For the past 25 years, the 12,500-square-foot showroom has been located in the Pelletier Shops in Morehead City. This wonderful showroom is filled with dreamy, colorful, beachy furniture, fabrics, and accessories.

When asked how her industry has changed during her career, Dana says, “The greatest changes I have seen have been within the furniture industry. I hand select furniture from the Atlanta, High Point, Dallas, and New York markets, and furniture is not made the way it used to be made. Even with what’s called high-end furniture today, it is hard to find real craftsmanship. Most furniture today is shipped from overseas and comes in several boxes. Assembly is definitely required.”

As far as advice for students, Dana says, “I would tell students that success comes from being serious about the profession. Be prepared to stay with a job for a few years. It takes time to build product knowledge and become confident with your designing ability. Be prepared to be as devoted to the profession as you are to your classes at ECU. Instant gratification is rare in this or any other field, but if you love it, it’s worth the effort.”

Carolyn Mansfield ’76, ’77 “I feel very rewarded when I help solve a nutrition problem.”

Every day, Carolyn Mansfield tries to make a difference. Mansfield, a clinical dietician at Nash General Hospital in Rocky Mount, earned a BS in foods, nutrition, and institutional management in ’76 and an MS in home economics with a college teaching option in ’77. With her mother (and now her sister as well) in the same field, the Goldsboro native knew early on where her education would lead her. “I knew from the time I was a child,” she says. “I’ve always been pretty serious about what I wanted to do.” Her daily duties include managing diets of high-risk patients, solving problems presented by diets, creating tube feedings, and screening patients for their respective dietary needs. Those patients can include diabetics, those suffering from congestive heart failure, and oncology patients. To meet their needs, it may mean beginning from scratch and finding solutions to loss of appetite. “I’ll go and get them something that I think they can eat,” Mansfield says. “When I come back and they’ve eaten half a sandwich and they’re smiling, that makes my day. I feel good doing what I can.”

Her ECU education helped her become capable of doing so much for the patients she serves. The combination of clinical, 6

2009–2010 Annual Report

management, and food-service experience she received through her major equipped her to be an expert in every area of her field. The teamwork the curriculum offered her through projects and studying made a difference as well, she says, helping her consider every option when finding the best nutritional solutions for patients.

She is a patient educator, prepared to consider each patient’s case and present nutritional information on a level that he or she can understand and in turn take care of him- or herself.

Because she has worked in a clinical setting since graduate school, Mansfield believes new dieticians should take time to work in such a setting for at least a year to build a strong professional foundation. From there, they will be ready to take on the nutritional and dietary needs in other settings in a community. Mansfield led the way in beginning dietetic internship opportunities at Nash General for college students, including ECU students. “I knew we had a lot to offer,” she says. “I owe it to the next generation to do whatever I can to help them succeed.” In fact, Mansfield is not finished learning, either. She regularly attends workshops to stay current on the latest dietetics information, and is a certified diabetes educator. As she continues to pursue education, she is appreciative of ECU and the departments where her education began and led to a successful career in a field she’s passionate about. “I stay in it for the love of it,” Mansfield says. “I feel very rewarded when I help solve a nutrition problem.”

Debbie Roe-Dixon ’75 “There’s never a dull moment in the hotel industry.”

Debbie Roe-Dixon is confident that she found her professional niche, thanks to thorough guidance and mentorship from the college’s faculty and staff.

Roe-Dixon ’75 is director of catering at Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, a position in which she uses her degree in institution management and nutrition to help produce top-quality events for guests and the public. The fast-paced world of management and catering attracted the Weldon, North Carolina, native after a careful examination of all her career options. “There were professors who were willing to take some extra time to talk to me about what direction I wanted to go in,” says Roe-Dixon. The array of possibilities in the nutrition field won her over. After a stint working for Chi Omega sorority, of which she became a member during college, she served as catering manager for Stouffer Hotels and eventually became the executive director of the Cincinnati International Wine Festival before accepting her current position.

At ECU, Roe-Dixon studied a well-rounded variety of courses based on College of Human Ecology majors. She took child-development

and home economics courses, as well as others not directly focused on her major, which helped her understand what other students in her college were interested in. “We all learned to appreciate what each of us was interested in,” she says. “When I started out in the hotel industry, very few people I worked with had that background.” Those courses also helped her learn skills that benefit her own career, such as creating menus and preparing meals.

Roe-Dixon, who holds a certified meeting professional credential, manages a group of catering managers and administrative staff. She works with clients every day to plan events, find solutions to challenges in planning those meetings, weddings, or galas, and ensures that every aspect of an event—set-up, menu, audiovisual, etc.—goes smoothly in the end. “There’s never a dull moment in the hotel industry,” she says. Familiar with every aspect of the way the 561-room hotel runs, Roe-Dixon is able to produce creative, personalized ideas for each client, focusing on details from reservations and lodging arrangements to transportation. In a field where every detail matters, she has found success—and happy clients. Some of Roe-Dixon’s success comes from her continued learning from colleagues and her relationships with competitors. “I learn from people, too,” she says. “The more I’ve learned, the more I’ve realized this is just where I wanted to be. This is my niche, but it’s not that I’ve stopped growing.”

Robert Desoto “Do it because you care about making a difference.”

Robert “Bob” Desoto ’75, ’81 every day delves into the multiple layers of social work and its impact on a community.

Desoto is a managing partner and licensed practical social worker at Eastern Psychiatric & Behavioral Specialists PLLC in Greenville and teaches in the human services program at Pitt Community College. Using his bachelor’s degree in social work and his master’s degrees in rehabilitation counseling and social work, he not only helps clients make decisions that will improve their lives, but also influences future social-work professionals. “It’s a real privilege working with people who share their stories with you,” Desoto says. “I’ve always felt that’s an honor and a privilege. Helping people make choices that are best for their lives, that’s kind of driven me.”

Eastern Psychiatric is one of the largest private outpatient practices of its kind in the region, and has grown to include more than 19 practitioners. Desoto hopes the practices reaches as many clients in need as possible. It all started when Desoto went to Walter Reed Army Medical Center to visit his father, who had been wounded in Vietnam. Something about the way the hospital’s social worker related to his family touched Desoto, and he became College of Human Ecology

interested in the field. He took an introduction to social work class at ECU, and he was hooked. “I was so impressed with the professors’ knowledge base and how flexible you could be in social work,” he says. “There are so many areas of helping.” The professionals at Eastern Psychiatric are touching many of those areas. As Desoto helps educate future social-work professionals, his colleagues continue to help him evolve in the field. “I am blessed to work with professionals who teach me,” he says. “I learn from others.

He also has high hopes for the School of Social Work, which he says excels at preparing students for real-world situations. Desoto would like to see a large, strong alumni association that finds innovative funding sources for the school. Those alumni could also share professional knowledge with new graduates and even help place them in internships or permanent positions. In addition to serving on the ECU School of Social Work Advisory Board, Desoto sits on the State Employees Credit Union Advisory Board. In 2004, he was awarded the President’s Award from the Southern Organization of Human Services Education for his active involvement in helping students continue their education and become engaged in the community. His advice to social-work students shows his strong stance on social work and service. “Be passionate about what you do,” he says. “Don’t worry about making a living in social work—that will come. Do it because you care about making a difference, and good things will follow.”

Alumni Spotlights Art Beeler Jr. ’75 “Criminal justice is a people business.”

Arthur “Art” F. Beeler Jr. ’75, felt an inclination toward criminal justice from the start and built a notable and celebrated career in the field. Beeler, who is originally from Edenton and earned his bachelor of science professional degree in social work and correctional administration, began his career as a correctional officer at the Federal Reformatory in Petersburg, Virginia, in 1975, and retired in 2009 as the complex warden at the Federal Correctional Complex in Butner, North Carolina.

With his commanding presence, Beeler managed five institutions at Butner, including low, medium, and close security facilities and a federal medical center. “A successful day was if everyone (employees) went home safely,” he says, “and if nobody got out.” Between his first professional position and his retirement, Beeler served as warden, superintendent, and official for correctional facilities all over the country, ensuring inmates were cared for and that security was top-notch.

Several keys to his success in serving as the CEO of the Butner facilities that he describes as “a city for people who do not want to be there” are values and practices he learned from professors and mentors at East Carolina, including Gus Moeller, then a professor in the Department of Social Work. Criminal justice is a “people business,” Beeler says, and success can come from learning to speak “with” others rather than “to” or “at” them.

Beeler came to know countless correction employees within the

walls of the facilities he oversaw. “Lots of people work inside these institutions trying to protect the public,” he says, “and also trying to give others the opportunities to better themselves. They don’t get a lot of attention, but they are unsung heroes.”

Beeler emphasizes oral and written communication, data analysis, and sustaining professional relationships—skills that were nurtured early on at ECU—as the basis for his professional success. During his tenure as warden at Butner, he opened the federal medical center to ECU undergraduates so they could see those values important to a criminal-justice professional in action and also see firsthand how the facility serves inmates.

During his career, Beeler has served as a contract health-services program specialist for the North Carolina Division of Prisons, as a lecturer and presenter on criminal justice and correctional administration and as an author of scholarly articles about related topics. He has served as an expert witness for the Massachusetts Department of Correction and for the Prison Rape Elimination Commission. He has received numerous awards, including the H. G. “Gus” Moeller Award for Correctional Excellence from the North Carolina Correctional Association, a distinction special to Beeler because of its namesake. He also was awarded the Distinguished Service Award from the Bureau of Prisons, the Compassion in Action Award from the Dalai Lama Foundation, and the US Surgeon General’s Medallion.

Interestingly, Beeler will act as a consultant in Afghanistan in the year ahead to help transition prisoners from military rule to civilian charge.

So, there will be much more to come from this special alumnus.

Nelda Howell ’59 “I had a really well-balanced education.”

Nelda Howell’s hands-on experiences in college led to a lifelong career in the field she always loved—family and consumer sciences. Howell ’59 began studying what was then known as home economics and took advantage of every opportunity her East Carolina College education offered. “I had a really well balanced education,” she says. Howell has served as a home economics extension agent for the Agricultural Extension Services of NC State University, a vocational home economics teacher in Richlands, North Carolina, a home economics extension agent in Craven County, and director of extension services in Clemson, South Carolina. She has served on numerous community boards, including the Jacksonville Regional Branch of the American Association of University Women and the Land Use and Development Committee of Onslow County. She also serves on the ECU Family and Consumer Sciences Advisory Board, which gives her the opportunity to advocate for an area of study she says is vital to families and communities. “Family and consumer science is a very diverse, wonderful career,” she says. “I would choose to study home economics again.”

2009–2010 Annual Report

The summer after she graduated, she joined the National Home Economics Association. “I really think I got a lot of that involvement from East Carolina,” she says. “I learned to be very dedicated to my college and my profession.” The experiences she had during college— from bonding with and learning from popular professors to learning more about her profession in ECC’s home management house—also helped encourage her to stay involved in the university’s progress. “I feel like you need to continue to give back to the organization that helped get you where you are,” Howell says. Her close ties to the school and the community helped her build a reputation for civic responsibility and professional expertise. She is often tapped to serve on boards, councils, and committees statewide, a duty she feels began with her college studies and her experience helping run her family’s Moss Hill, North Carolina, farm. “That gave me a feeling that you have to be independent and do things,” she says.

Howell, who recently attended her 50th class reunion at ECU, is happy that the university is on the long list of her affiliations. She wants to be a voice for the College of Human Ecology, encouraging new students to examine its breadth of majors, including family and consumer sciences. The college has many impressive amenities, Howell says, such as the Golden Corral Culinary Center and other hands-on teaching tools. She also wants to help recruit students to ECU, because of her own fond memories. “I really enjoyed my time here,” she says.

Partners in Education Thanks to These Partners in Education Wolfgang Puck Worldwide Inc. Although great cookware doesn’t ensure great cooking, it certainly helps! Working with state-of-the-art facilities and cookware creates a professional atmosphere for hospitality management and nutrition students. This year, Wolfgang Puck Worldwide (www.wolfgangpuck. com) contributed to that atmosphere by donating nearly 300 pieces of its professional grade cookware to the Department of Hospitality Management.

The assortment of pots, pans, and utensils are used in the college’s new Golden Corral Culinary Center to enhance the culinary experience. Dr. Robert O’Halloran, chair of the Department of Hospitality Management, said, “The cookware will help blend the business of hospitality with knowledge of food preparation and presentation.”

Jacqui De Chabert-Rios, visiting assistant professor of hospitality management, who oversees several of the food laboratory courses said, “Wolfgang Puck has had a long commitment to the hospitality industry as both a restaurateur and culinarian. He has created three highly successful business enterprises within the industry. Mr. Joe Essa, managing partner and president of Wolfgang Puck Worldwide Inc. and advisory board member in our department, was the catalyst for this gift. We’re grateful to Joe and WPW for their donation.

Having the best tools for our students will provide an even higher quality educational experience.”

James Chandler, associate professor of hospitality management, who facilitated the gift with WPW, added, “WPW has been an advocate of higher education for hospitality industry professional business managers, and this gift is further evidence of that commitment. The Department of Hospitality Management is honored to share the vision of Wolfgang Puck Worldwide, and we accept the challenge to change our world, one community at a time, through education and economic development. Tomorrow starts here.”

James Chandler, associate professor of hospitality management, helped facilitate the gift from Wolfgang Puck Worldwide.

Alfred Williams & Company of Raleigh The Department of Interior Design and Merchandising found the perfect location and the perfect company to help students network with our many alumni in the Raleigh area. In March, Alfred Williams & Company of Raleigh (www.alfredwilliams.com) hosted Wine and Design, an evening of food and drink providing a marvelous venue for interior design and merchandising students to display their concept boards and discuss employment and internship opportunities with alumni and friends.

A special thanks goes out to Matt Dorsey, Herman Miller representative and CHE Interior Design Advisory Board member and John McKinney, president of marketing, Alfred Williams & Company, Raleigh.

Thanks also to the North Raleigh Hilton for donating hors d’oeuvres that evening and to Tina Williford for the generous donation of wines and for educating guests on wines during the evening. It was a great event!

Feature Stories Invested in Cultural Proficiency Our world is transforming before our eyes. As the Internet has come to ignore geographic boundaries, so too have people, products and services, cuisine, entertainment, tourism, travel, fashion, art and design, customs, cultures, and crime. Educators now must think in global terms about their industries and strive to prepare students to work with a broad spectrum of people from varying countries and cultures.

In higher education today, we hear the terms global competence, cultural proficiency, internationalization, and globalization used interchangeably. It could be that these concepts have similar meanings at their core—the ability to interact effectively with people of different races, cultures, and customs.

Whatever term one chooses, cultural proficiency is an essential element of a good education today. The College of Human Ecology is heavily invested in ECU’s strategic goal to “prepare students for citizenship in an increasingly global, culturally diverse, and rapidly changing society.” Since its formation in 2003, the college’s International Education Committee (IEC) has led the charge to prepare students to compete and work in a global and multicultural society by promoting cultural competence across the curriculum and fostering a culture of internationalism within the college and university.

The IEC includes faculty whose countries of origin include China, Jamaica, India, Iran, Japan, Poland, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United States. This year, the IEC presented forums on the cultures and customs of Turkey and India for students, faculty, and staff. They also sponsored a presentation by the college’s international and exchange students from Australia, Turkey, United Kingdom, Japan, and Spain, and they promoted the college’s summer study abroad programs to Italy and France. The IEC also encourages all faculty members to look for areas within the curriculum to infuse cultural sensitivity.

Priti Desai, assistant professor of child development and family relations, is a member of the IEC and of the ECU Chancellor’s Diversity Leadership Council.

She knows that her students in CDFR 4303: Families and Cultural Diversity, whether they remain in North Carolina or move far away, will be called upon to serve diverse families, but she says that teaching diversity is not easy. “Negative stereotyping and prejudice contribute to barriers toward engaging impartially and in meaningful ways with individuals and communities different than oneself. Prejudice arises out of ignorance, feeling threatened, possible reaction to prior mistreatment, and lack of exposure to others. It is sometimes taught early and could be deep- Priti Desai rooted. It is the role of the university to enable each student to identify and break free of any existing biased thought and behavior,” says Desai. “Those who teach diversity courses must be very thoughtful in planning the exercises and experiences to enable students to reflect on their attitudes toward individuals from other cultures. I plan activities and assignments which engage the students to examine the sources and consequences of stereotyping and prejudice. We move beyond this to think of steps to overcome prejudice so that all individuals and families will be served equally with respect and dignity.” Desai stresses with her students 10

2009–2010 Annual Report

The International Education Committee

that cultural sensitivity and proficiency are essential at all levels of providing service: individual, program or agency, and policy.

Desai believes the path to cultural proficiency is a continuum, and the first step in the continuum is to clarify one’s own cultural heritage, values, beliefs, and behaviors. The second step is to learn more about the cultural characteristics, customs, and courtesies of the people with whom one will be working. The third step is to learn practical skills to put the knowledge into practice. Desai acknowledges that each instructor who teaches diversity-related courses brings to the classroom their own unique perspectives based on life experiences and world view. Hailing from India with its pluralistic, multilingual, and multiethnic society, she learned as a child to embrace and celebrate diversity. She urges her students to “keep an open mind, avoiding stereotypical thinking, and show respect for all individuals.” Desai has also developed a relationship with Ms. Mariella Olivos of the Universidad ESAN in Lima, Peru, and facilitates classroom exchanges via the global classroom between her students and Ms. Olivos’s to improve cultural understanding for students in both countries.

As Desai’s diversity course nears the end each semester, she finds herself hoping that all of the exercises, activities, interactions, and thoughtful discussions will add up to much more than credit hours and a final grade for students. She hopes the course will make a lasting impression. “But one diversity focused course alone is not enough for developing cultural proficiency,” says Desai. “We have to figure out ways to entice students in meaningful out of classroom interactions with diverse people and communities.

Students should be constantly transforming through their interactions with peers, faculty, staff, and the larger community. This is why I’m pleased to serve on the Chancellor’s Diversity Leadership Council. The Council is charged with examining the complex issues of diversity, inclusion, and cultural proficiency on the campus, and we feel a sense of urgency for the ECU community to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people across cultures.”

Feature Stories Social work team helps Hmong-Americans tell their story How can Americans of the Judeo-Christian tradition begin to understand and communicate in a meaningful way with a people from Southeast Asia steeped in ancient Far-Eastern religions and customs? This is the question that Tracy Carpenter-Aeby, associate professor of social work, struggled with when she was contacted in the summer of 2009 by a group of Hmong students attending the Bill Gates’s funded Challenger Early College High School in Hickory, North Carolina.

The Challenger students had heard of Dr. Carpenter-Aeby’s work with an alternative high school in Georgia, and they believed she was the person to help them and their families in their search for acceptance, assimilation, and education among a population of Americans who do not share their language, beliefs, or traditions.

Who are the Hmong people? The Hmong have lived in southern China for at least 2,000 years. In the 18th century, many Hmong fled to Southeast Asia to escape Chinese oppression. During the Vietnam War, the United States Central Intelligence Agency recruited Laotian Hmong in the fight against Communist forces. In 1975, when the U.S. retreated from Laos, the Hmong were persecuted and tortured.

Many fled to the mountains of Laos or to Thailand. In the 1990s, large numbers of Hmong were forcibly relocated from Thailand to Laos with support from the United Nations and the U.S. The repatriated Hmong suffered renewed persecution, and many were relocated to safer countries, including the United States. In the U.S., the largest concentrations of Hmong are in California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Carolina.

“I told the Challenger students that my work in Georgia had been in drop-out prevention at an alternative high school,” said CarpenterAeby. “My task there was to create programs to help at risk kids finish school. Challenger is also a non-traditional school, but most of the kids who go there are motivated and serious about getting into college. The students insisted, however, that they wanted my help.”

Carpenter-Aeby took on the challenge armed with a $4,000 ECU Community Engagement Scholar stipend and a $16,000 grant from the ECU Engagement and Outreach Scholars Academy (EOSA). She decided to approach the project in two research phases, calling the first phase “Transforming Rural Culture Through Higher Education: Preserving Hmong Culture and Oral Histories.” The second phase she calls “Transforming Rural Culture Through Higher Education: Developing Protective Assets for Early College and High School Hmong Students Transitioning to ECU.” For the past year, Carpenter-Aeby and her research team, including ECU Student Community Engagement Scholars Shauna Daniels and Jacqueline Coleman-Carmon, have been getting to know Hmong families in Hickory. They first attended Hmong New Year festivities in November 2009, where they dressed in traditional Hmong costumes and joined nearly 5,000 Hmong families from several states for an outdoor celebration of Hmong heritage with traditional foods, music, lectures, pageants, dance, and films. It was at this gathering that Carpenter-Aeby and her team conducted their first 14

2009–2010 Annual Report

interview with a Hmong family.

“The first family we interviewed was the family of Doaw Xiong, an ECU student of Hmong descent from Hickory,” said CarpenterAeby. “Ironically, Doaw had worked in my office through the federal work-study program before I was ever contacted by the Challenger students. Doaw’s family told us their story of living in an internment camp in Laos for ten years before being re-settled in California.

From California, the family moved to Minnesota where they had relatives, but climate and food proved problematic for the family.

So they moved back to California. That move did not work out well either, so they decided to try North Carolina after hearing about the Hmong community around Hickory and the climate, which is similar to Laotian climate. The family has taken root here. Doaw’s parents grow the family’s food and maintain a very specialized diet of all-natural, traditional foods.”

The researchers have continued to interview Hmong families in College of Human Ecology

Community engagement scholar Shauna Daniels interviewed Hmong families in Hickory, North Carolina.

Hickory and record their stories of survival and resilience. Hmong parents often ask: How do we preserve Hmong culture and traditions now that our children are marrying Americans and melting into the American fabric? Doaw’s father poignantly remarked, “I am HmongAmerican and my children are more American-Hmong. I want to find a way to blend the old and the new families together here in America.”

“The interviews have also made it clear that education is a priority for Hmong families,” said Carpenter-Aeby. “Progressive Hmong fathers think college is especially important for their daughters, but they worry about placing their girls in harm’s way on campuses. ECU already has 35 to 40 Hmong students, and some of the parents have found ingenious ways to safeguard their daughters while here.”

This is where the second phase of Carpenter-Aeby’s project with the Hmong comes in. ECU has already formed a partnership with Catawba Community College, home of the Challenger School, to College of Human Ecology

help Hmong students complete two years of high school and then transition to ECU. Many Hmong families would now like ECU and Catawba to work together to foster what Carpenter-Aeby calls “protective assets” for their sons and daughters when they transition to ECU, including a caring support network with strong value, physical safety, opportunities for spiritual development, and an emphasis on scholastic achievement. As Carpenter-Aeby and her team tackle the second phase of the project, they plan to seek large community engagement grants.

For the present, the research team is building the body of knowledge regarding the Hmong population in North Carolina. “To a great extent we are listening to the Hmong families and letting them tell us what they need,” said Carpenter-Aeby. “Many have said they feel misunderstood by the larger population and would like people to know more about them. So, our immediate task is to gather and process the stories. Telling the stories will come next.”

Dr. Blace Nalavany and Dr. Lena Carawan display examples of concept mapping created by participants in their study of adults with dyslexia.

Demystifying Dyslexia Two professors in the School of Social Work are using innovative research techniques to help adults with dyslexia find a way to convey what they experience on a daily basis. Dr. Blace Nalavany and Dr. Lena Carawan joined forces in 2007 based on similar backgrounds, research interests, and personal ties to dyslexia, a specific neurobiological learning disability characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and poor spelling and decoding abilities. The two are examining the views of adults with dyslexia from a psychosocial standpoint. “There’s very, very little research and understanding on how adults deal with learning differences,” Nalavany says. “We’re using a very innovative methodology to understand what the impact is.” It seeks to uncover how dyslexia affects their daily lives and decisions. The goals of the research include making a “difference through legislation and services” for those living with dyslexia, says Carawan. Professionals working in different agencies within the social-work field will better understand how dyslexia affects every aspect of life for this population.

“We want to demystify this experience,” she says.

The methodology of this ongoing research project is new to the field of learning-disability research. Phase I of this study used concept mapping, an innovative mixed-methods approach, to produce a visual map of the social and emotional experiences of adults with dyslexia.

Photography and art were used as a unique method to capitalize on the strengths of this population. Through these mediums, adults with dyslexia were better able to convey their everyday life experience with dyslexia than through the use of more traditional methods. Through those media, the adults with dyslexia were able to convey experiences and generate statements such as how much energy it takes to study for a test or even complete routine tasks, and the difficulty involved in trying to decide whether to disclose their dyslexia to others.

These statements were used in the next phase of concept mapping which involved participants sorting individual statement into groups that 18

2009–2010 Annual Report

made sense given their own experiences. Additional, participants rated each statement to the degree that it captured their personal experiences.

Through statistical analysis nine themes emerged. For example, the importance of having a good support system like family and peers, developing good coping strategies such as recognizing their learning differences, and the emotional toll of living with dyslexia were some of the major themes the adults with dyslexia grappled with every day.

Nalavany and Carawan have published three papers on their dyslexia research, one of which explored their methodology alone. Findings from the concept-mapping phase led to the present phase of their research, a nationally based online survey. The survey is one of the largest sample sizes in such research endeavors. Nalavany and Carawan had to work hard to find participants from a population that is often hidden. Along with a survey Web site, they used YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and news releases to find participants, and even gained endorsement from the first school ever to focus on students with dyslexia. The survey was quite detailed and took participants a long time to fill out. Interestingly, by the time the survey closed, there were more than 200 responses, with an almost 90-percent completion rate. “That speaks to their passion,” Nalavany says, “and to their wanting to make a difference.” The survey, and the overall research, helps the participants understand that someone is paying attention to what it’s like to have dyslexia. The open-ended comments section of the survey reflects their eagerness to share their experiences. “We didn’t think we would have the degree of depth we had in the comments,” Carawan says.

The next steps in the research process will be steered by the participants themselves, depending on the survey’s findings. The ongoing, groundbreaking research of Nalavany and Carawan is delving deeper into the heart of dyslexia and giving hope to the many faces of the learning disability that they can be understood, receive the services they need, and ultimately lead successful lives.

College of Human Ecology

Giving to CHE Investing in the College of Human Ecology “Just as we hope that ECU has made a significant impact on your life, we hope that you will share your legacy with today’s students, who will be tomorrow’s leaders in North Carolina and beyond. My husband and I are both graduates of the university, and we are extremely grateful for our ECU experiences. I ask that you join me as we invest in East Carolina University and our students by making a gift to the College of Human Ecology’s greatest needs or to one of the college’s specific programs or funds. This support will be vital to the success of the college and will be included as participation in ECU’s Second Century Campaign.

One of the easiest ways to support our university is to include us in your bequest provisions for a specific amount or for a percentage of the remainder of your estate. This last option provides assurance to potential donors that ECU would not receive a gift should it require all of their assets to take care of them and their family. All alumni and friends who have documented a planned gift for ECU will become members of the Leo Jenkins Society.

As members of the ECU family, let’s make sure ECU continues a legacy of excellence for the next 100 years.”

When making a gift, please provide this information: Name Address Phone E-mail I would like my gift to be used for:

r College’s Greatest Needs r Specific program or fund, namely r I have included ECU in my will. r Please send information on supporting ECU through my estate plan.
