Lighting the path

toward tomorrow “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire,” wrote Irish Poet and Nobel Laureate William Butler Yeats. I’d like to think this is true for the more than 2,000 students we are serving from “the hill” and the thousands of Pikeville alumni who have become leaders in business, education, law and many other fields, including medicine. Today, we are a much different institution than our founders established 123 years ago but we are exactly what they envisioned: a dynamic center of learning responding to the changing needs of a changing society. As we confront this changing society, we must never deviate from the core principles of the liberal arts philosophy and the classroom is still the heart and soul of that tradition. But as stewards of this great institution we have an obligation to change and grow in a way that continues to meet the needs of those we serve. Just over a year ago we made the bold move to university status, adding our first master’s degree program, an MBA, and expanding the outreach and mission of the medical school. When you look at our history, going from academy to two-year college, then a four-year college and the school of osteopathic medicine, and today the University of Pikeville, we have never stopped evolving, and always for the better. In the pages of this magazine we share the stories of those who make this university a special place. Record enrollment, new programs of study and a new $40 million home for the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine are among the features. We’ve expanded our dreams and our reach as the leading university in Central Appalachia. The historic 99 steps lead many to success in the region but increasingly our students are representing the university academically and athletically on a state and national level.

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” William Butler Yeats In the coming months I will share more with you about our newest initiatives to provide students with educational opportunities from a global perspective. On a personal note, I’d like to commend and congratulate Vice President James Hurley who will become president of the University of Pikeville in July 2013. As an alumnus, he

is one of your own and the first ever to hold that distinction. He loves this institution and will work hard to ensure its continued success. After serving four years as president, I decided not to renew my contract but will continue in the role of chancellor, involved in fundraising, recruiting and representing the school in other ways. For more than 35 years, first as a trustee and now as president, the University of Pikeville has been my major philanthropic effort. I have always believed that it is perhaps the most important institution in Eastern Kentucky. As you know, we are not a state supported school. We don’t have a large endowment. And yet we must, because of the people we serve, provide a high quality education at a below market price. So we have to be more efficient and depend on the generosity of our supporters who have prospered in this society and want to help the next generation have the kinds of opportunities we provide to our students. We are in fact the only comprehensive, open enrollment institution of higher education with offerings at the graduate and undergraduate level serving all the citizens of Central Appalachia who want to attend college. Without our friends now and in times past providing funds for scholarships, we would not long endure. On behalf of the University of Pikeville family, thank you for your continued support.

Paul E. Patton, President

Where the 99 Lead ... News from UPIKE Dual credit program recognized for college-ready success Calling it a “model for others across the nation,” the University of Pikeville’s dual credit program was highlighted in the 2012 edition of “The CollegeKeys Compact,” a catalog of effective practices published by the College Board Advocacy & Policy Center. A non-profit organization representing more than 5,900 colleges, universities and schools, the College Board leads national and international efforts to improve access to and readiness for higher education. “UPIKE Today, Your College Now” was among 56 educational programs profiled in the College Board’s national publication, which features successful strategies to help students get ready for and get into college. UPIKE Today is an introduction to the college classroom experience and provides opportunities for qualified juniors and seniors to earn both high school and college credit at the same time. Students are enrolled in a variety of classes, including biology,

chemistry, calculus, economics, English, psychology and Spanish. “In 2010, we served about 80 students representing three high schools. Today, we have about 400 students in seven districts enrolled in the dual credit program,” said Vice President James Hurley. “We have had tremendous support from the leadership in our school districts because they understand the importance of college readiness. We are also fortunate to work with dedicated teachers who provide a high quality classroom experience.” Dual credit students become members of the UPIKE family, beginning with campus visits and tours. They receive a student ID card for free admission to University events, are assigned a Web account and have access to campus facilities and student services. Scholarships are available to those who qualify.

Ground broken on Scholar House of Central Appalachia Officials broke ground on the Scholar House of Central Appalachia in October, with a community coming together to create opportunities for single-parent students to earn their degree. The scholar house will provide decent, safe and affordable housing through the construction of multifamily housing units and an onsite childcare facility. Along with the housing units will be a 15,000-plus square foot childhood early education center, offices, a computer lab, children’s library and multipurpose/classroom space. The scholar house will be funded through the Kentucky Housing Corporation with 48 units in Phase I at a cost of $11 million. The property is located on the corner of Auxier and Saad avenues in downtown Pikeville. Several entities are involved in the Scholar House of Central Appalachia, including the City of Pikeville and Pike County government, Pikeville YMCA, Pike County Housing Authority, Pikeville Affordable Housing Corporation, Big Sandy Area Development District and the University of Pikeville. Scholar House residents will be able to attend UPIKE, Big Sandy Community & Technical College or National College. Currently, there are nine scholar houses in Kentucky, including Louisville, Lexington, Paducah and Bowling Green.

‘Inside Washington’ As the nation turned their attention to the Iowa caucuses and the 2012 presidential hopefuls, four students from the University of Pikeville traveled to Washington, D.C., to learn about politics from the nation’s capitol and political epicenter. The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars presented two Inside Washington seminars beginning with “In Pursuit of the Presidency” and followed by “Politics in the Media.” “I have always had an interest in politics, but I never really knew where my particular talents would fit into the realm” said Jocelyn McCown, a junior at UPIKE majoring in history/political science. “I know now that there is a place for everyone as long as you have the passion for it. I may never run for office, but I can still make a difference by helping someone else make it there.” Joining McCown were fellow students Corey Crigger, Corey Hatfield and Kayla Morgan, along with Nancy Cade, Ph.D., professor of history and political science. The seminar provided firsthand experience and perspective into campaign 2012 through a combination of lectures from prominent guest speakers, panel discussions, site visits and small group dialogues. Students heard from the reporters covering the 2012 elections, former members of Congress, high-level Congressional staff and leaders of special interest groups. A faculty advisor and mentor for The Washington Center since 2004, Cade established the Fred W. Meyer Jr. Washington Center Scholars Scholarship Fund at the University of Pikeville in honor of her father. All four students are Fred W. Meyer Jr. Washington Center Scholars.

Disney Internship an Epic Experience

academic team highlights

It takes a lot of work to succeed in business, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. During his senior year Byron Allen experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The UPIKE Bear spent time at “The Happiest Place on Earth” with the world’s most famous mouse as part of the Disney College Program. The academically oriented work experience is designed to provide students with the tools they need to compete in today’s job market. As part of the program, Allen studied business and networking, gained on-thejob experience at Magic Kingdom and volunteered at charity events. He shared an apartment will fellow participants from Spain, Hong Kong and roommates from across the U.S. Additionally, Allen was chosen to be part of the magic and participate in a video for the college program. Allen will graduate in May with a bachelor of business administration degree with an emphasis in management and is proud to include the Disney experience on his resume.

The University of Pikeville Quick Recall Academic Team kicked off the semester with the Kentucky Collegiate Quick Recall League (KCQRL) tournament hosted by the University of the Cumberlands. UPIKE’s Division 2 team placed second. In October, UPIKE played host to the KCQRL. Eleven teams from across the state visited campus and enjoyed a full day of academic competition. At the end of the tournament, UPIKE’s Division 1 team claimed the second place trophy and the Division 2 team placed 3rd. Five more tournaments are scheduled around Kentucky this academic year. The UPIKE Academic Team has experienced considerable growth in the past two years with the addition of participation scholarships. The team also assists UNITE Pike in hosting their annual 2 Smart 4 Drugs Pike County High School Tournament. Coach Amanda Runyon, a 2006 alumna, leads UPIKE’s academic team and is the president-elect of the KCQRL.

Experiential Learning: The world is your classroom Trekking to historical landmarks like the Great Wall of China and the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany, were on the schedule for UPIKE students during Summer 2012. Thomas Browning and Lisa Trivette left the traditional classroom behind to earn college credit through the Kentucky Institute for International Studies (KIIS) Program. Browning, a history/political science and Spanish major, travelled to China to study art history, Chinese art and elementary Chinese. “Cultural differences existed, but the entire experience taught me a lesson: Never focus on a person’s difference, instead focus on how they are similar to you,” said Browning. Trivette, UPIKE class of 2012, completed her degree by studying urban and public art in Germany. She also studied in Costa Rica where she described her experience as “seeing the world from the outside looking in.” Moving UP, the new Experiential Learning plan at the University of Pikeville, provides institutional support for students to apply their classroom knowledge to an off-campus setting in the form of internships; professional conferences, seminars, and workshops; as well as study

away and study abroad learning. Moving UP encourages students to explore and engage the world around them. Too often, learning is confined to the traditional classroom, but students learn best when they have hands-on experience in the field, the lab, the office, the community or the piazza. “Our mission charges us with enhancing the educational, cultural and economic opportunities for Appalachia,” said Hannah Freeman, Ph.D., assistant professor of English and director of the Center for Experiential Learning. “While one of our goals is to encourage students to invest in their local communities,

we also want to help them to experience the world beyond the Appalachian Mountains. In order to do this, we want to expose our students to many varied and unique opportunities, locally and globally,” said Freeman. The combination of traditional teaching and intensive firsthand experience is invaluable, according to Freeman, and will prepare students for a global job market and multicultural communities.

Music from the Mountains Choir travels to ireland The University of Pikeville Singers completed a performance tour of Ireland this summer, landing in Dublin and concertizing across the country with their program “Music from the Mountains” – a collection of Old American Hymns, Spirituals, and Songs. The first stop was Cork City, hometown of UPIKE student Nathalie O’Brien. The group performed at O’Brien’s neighborhood church, St. Mary’s on the Hill Parish. Fr. Patrick Fogarty, parish priest, introduced the singers. The entourage received a formal welcome and commemorative gifts from Tony Fitzgerald, Lord Deputy Mayor of Cork City, and afterward feasted on traditional Irish stew and settled in with host families for the night. The students also performed before a capacity audience at the Methodist Church of Killarney and between concerts visited the Book of Kells Exhibition, the Rock of Cashel, Guinness Storehouse, Blarney Castle, and the Cliffs of Moher. A day was spent touring the Ring of Beara and Muckross House located in Killarney National Park. In addition, they traveled through The Burren and Connemara, Dan O’Hara’s Homestead and Kylemore Abbey. In Dublin students performed at St. Ann’s Church of Ireland in a lunchtime concert series. Throughout

their visit, parish members and tourists alike shared how much they enjoyed hearing American works and the variety of singing styles. The final evening of the trip was spent attending a farewell dinner that included traditional Irish foods, music and dance.

White Coat of Compassion First-year students at the University of Pikeville-Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine (KYCOM) received their white coats during the traditional White Coat Ceremony Sept. 15. In keeping with tradition, second-year students “coated” 135 students in the Class of 2016, the largest entering class in the medical school’s history. White coat ceremonies are rites of passage for beginning medical students and mark the transition from student to aspiring physician. William G. Anderson, D.O., FACOS, past president of the American Osteopathic Association, was the keynote speaker for the event, which preceded the ribbon cutting and dedication of The Coal Building, KYCOM’s new $40 million educational facility. The medical school’s annual Primary Care Continuing Medical Education Alumni Weekend, held in conjunction with the White Coat Ceremony each year, focused on women’s health. KYCOM alumni events also included the Founders’ Dinner and John A. Strosnider Memorial Lecture. Former Kentucky State Senator Benny Ray Bailey received the 2012 John A. Strosnider, D.O., Memorial Award for his contributions in education and medicine. As a senator, Bailey wrote and sponsored the Osteopathic Scholarship Bill, a law that allows students from Kentucky to attend KYCOM without the burden of additional debt.

Homecoming Week & Parents Weekend

2012

08 UPIKE MAGAZINE

The University of Pikeville welcomed alumni back to campus this year for a week filled with football, a brilliant fireworks display and plenty of fun. Students and alumni gathered to celebrate events such as Founders’ Day in the new Benefactors’ Plaza, the Alumni Awards Banquet at the East Kentucky Expo Center, the induction ceremony for Distinguished Educators Hall of Fame and Bears’ football at the Hambley Athletic Complex. Parent’s Weekend has also become synonymous with Homecoming as parents are invited to come to campus and attend various lectures, events and athletic activities with their student. This year, UPIKE, in cooperation with the Pikeville Rotary Club, hosted the first

Taste of Pikeville event in the Pikeville City Park as part of the Homecoming festivities. Live music by Coaltown Dixie and great food provided by area vendors and caterers made the night a great success. To end the evening, the UPIKE Dance Team and Cheerleaders, along with Head Football Coach Dudley Hilton, lead the crowd in an exciting pep rally. All of this culminated in a beautiful fireworks display. A reflection of the university’s growth and progress, Homecoming weekend is a time of school spirit, pride and excitement. So make plans to return home to your alma mater in 2013 to make next year’s Homecoming celebration better than ever.

Alumni Rising

UPIKE’s own named president-elect Realizing your strengths is one thing, knowing your heart is another. In Leading From Within, a collection of short essays and poetry, leaders from all facets of life share stories of how they came to understand their calling. The book’s authors write that the task of leading begins from within. “It begins with a dream, a sense of what’s possible, a commitment to a cause, a yearning to solve a problem, or a restless need to express one’s creativity in service of the world.” For James Hurley, that calling has been one of service for the past three years in the role of executive vice president at the University of Pikeville. In July, Hurley will become the 20th president of his alma mater and the first alumnus in the institution’s 123-year history to receive the distinction. Not only did the historic 99 steps lead this 1999 graduate to the presidency, but also to his first love, his wife Tina, an alumna from the Class of ’99 who shares her husband’s great affinity for the university that will soon honor her as First Lady. “She is the heart and soul of our family and she believes in what we are doing here. We are a team and I am blessed to have her as my partner,” said Hurley. We have made the campus our home and our sons, Drew and Carter, are surrounded by a great group of students who have become like big brothers and sisters.” Shortly after becoming UPIKE’s new president in 2009, former Kentucky Gov. Paul Patton named Hurley vice president and special assistant. Together, they took on the difficult task of balancing the business of running a university with meeting the mission of the institution. Competition from state universities, economic uncertainty in the nation, and a declining school-age population in Eastern Kentucky were among the challenges to providing quality opportunities for students. Both believed the faculty to be the heart and soul of the classroom, so they focused on increasing enrollment, improving student life and thereby retention, and strengthening the endowment. Earlier this year Patton informed the university’s board of trustees that he would not renew his contract. Along with his wife, Judi, an advocate for women and children whose efforts as Kentucky’s First Lady garnered national recognition, Patton will remain an integral

part of the campus family. As the school’s first chancellor, he will concentrate on fundraising, recruiting and representing the university in other endeavors. “The Patton-Hurley team has brought us tremendous progress. The Hurley-Patton team will continue that progress,” Board Chairman Terry Dotson said in May following the board’s unanimous decision to name Hurley president-elect. The Patton-Hurley years have been prolific, and strategic, setting the course to position the University of Pikeville as the leading university of Central Appalachia. As such, UPIKE’s perfect storm encompasses the historic move to university status, three consecutive years of record enrollment, new programs of study, the first master’s degree programs, a new cafeteria and residence halls and construction of The Coal Building, a $40 million educational facility for the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine. “James Hurley is bright, energetic, motivated and a self-starter,” said Patton. “He has been an integral part of the tremendous progress we have made at the university. As our chief executive officer, he will lead this institution to new heights.” For Hurley, it has been an honor to serve alongside Patton who is known as the “education governor” and a national leader in education policy. “As a member of Pikeville College’s Board of Trustees for more than 30 years, the breadth and depth of President Patton’s leadership has raised our profile exponentially. He has given me an opportunity to learn from someone whose efforts have made a significant and lasting impact on education, not only at Pikeville but all across Kentucky. In the role of chancellor he will continue to be a tremendous asset to the university we both love.” And, Hurley’s love for the “Orange & Black” – particularly orange – runs deep. “You’ve got to want to wear orange,” Hurley tells a crowd of cheering fans at a pep rally. And he does. A UPIKE Bear through and through, from the time he arrived on campus his message was clear, “Real fans wear orange.”

True to his roots, as president Hurley will focus on increasing alumni involvement and building relationships between the university and the family of more than 13,000 who share that special bond. Alumni recognition is important to Hurley who worked with faculty leaders to establish the university’s Distinguished Educators Hall of Fame. He was also instrumental in creating a new award to recognize the success of young alumni. “A great university can measure its worth by the quality of its alumni,” said Kay Hammond, president of the Alumni Association. “Vice President Hurley is certainly one of our most accomplished. He has always sought to protect and preserve all that is special about the University of Pikeville.” An experienced educator and administrator, Hurley spent 11 years in the public education system, serving in numerous roles, including as principal, assistant principal, dean of students, teacher and athletic coach. The move to higher education was one he gave careful consideration. “Early on, before accepting the vice president’s position, I did a lot of soul searching,” said Hurley. “I knew it would be a tremendous change, both professionally and for my family. I am fortunate to have mentors like Gov. Patton and former Pikeville College Presidents Hal Smith and Bill Owens. They are true servant leaders whose wisdom

and experience are grounded in a fundamental belief in the power of education to transform lives.” As president, Hurley’s future-focused vision will be closely aligned with the university’s strategic goals – educational excellence, enhancing the student experience, recruitment and retention, institutional advancement and stewardship and accountability. A former principal, teacher and coach, many of his students are now joining the UPIKE family. In July he will be their president and will have come full circle at his alma mater. “Hopefully, I can inspire them,” Hurley said. Working with a board of trustees whose knowledge and experience covers a broad spectrum of expertise in business, education, medicine, law and philanthropy is a tremendous opportunity, according to Hurley. Several of the trustees are also alumni and all, he noted, have a deep commitment to the mission, particularly first generation students. “We are advancing the university in a purposeful way, one that honors our century-old mission to educate the youth of the mountains, said Hurley. “We will continue to be that beacon on the hill and student success remains at the heart of everything we do. In so many ways, I am blessed to be a part of that.”

Shepherding the Spiritual Momentum Students long for a place of acceptance and a place to safely explore their questions, doubts, fears, and hopes for the future. The biggest tension I hear from parents and students is that parents want their children to continue to attend church on Sunday mornings yet often students do not feel this same level of belonging in a new church like they did in their home church.

“... the spiritual conversation on campus must be student-driven.” You have been encouraging student-led chapel services. Why? How has that changed the dynamic of weekly chapel services? I cannot overstate my passion and conviction that the spiritual conversation on campus must be student-driven. Chapel is a time in which students can share their faith and pray with the greater campus community. With that, students have the ability to help inspire, challenge, and encourage. Throughout the week faculty and staff are lecturing and teaching and so often the students are absorbing. Chapel however can be different as students are leading the conversation and experiencing God together.

During Religious Emphasis Week part of the focus was on the diversity of beliefs and the importance of learning about other peoples’ faith. Why is that important?

University of Pikeville Chaplain and Instructor of Religion Rob Musick considers himself a very blessed person. Before joining the UPIKE family, he served as a hospice chaplain, local pastor and missionary. As chaplain, he seeks to empower others to engage their studies with all of their heart and mind while also serving their community with a servant’s heart. Living the faith and being gracious to all are keys to his vision for the UPIKE campus.

comfortable expressing their diverse spiritual beliefs and practices. A key to spirituality is to understand it in its most broad approach: seeing spirituality as that which gives meaning and purpose to one’s life. Through this definition of spirituality I am then able to be a learner. After learning from the students then my job as chaplain is to simply empower and facilitate spiritual experiences and expressions.

A university has a diverse population. As chaplain, how do you serve the broad scope of spiritual needs?

Many students are living on their own for the first time, away from home, family and community influences. With respect to faith, what is the greatest need of a college student?

One must first listen to students to understand their ideas and perspectives. I try to not make assumptions about where my students are spiritually. Also I strive to create an environment in which students feel

Finding a place of belonging and community. People are relational and in the rapid changes and transitions of the university experience, students are hungry for authentic and genuine community.

12 UPIKE MAGAZINE

Without listening a person can never learn. Without learning from one another relationship cannot happen and without relationship there is no love. Listening is a key expression of loving one another and I am fully persuaded that Christianity is about loving one another.

Since you became chaplain, the spiritual energy on campus seems to have gained momentum. What do attribute that to? Teamwork, teamwork, teamwork. I work with the greatest people and have people around me who are deeply on fire for Jesus. Also it is essential to realize that there are many staff and faculty members who have faithfully prayed and labored for many years on campus to create such a fertile ground. There was a time in which the spiritual life committee would gather and pray in the mornings for the spiritual life of the campus. This type of intentional communal prayer never goes without response. Anything good or exciting that is happening now is because of the Holy Spirit’s response to those prayers.

Students in the Film and Media Arts Digital Media class utilize the Pike TV studio on a weekly basis.

Spanish, Film & Media arts among new programs of study The University of Pikeville began the fall 2012 semester with its third straight record enrollment, welcoming more than 2,000 students, including 374 in the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine. In addition to new undergraduate programs in Spanish, Film and Media Arts and a Master of Science degree in Sport Management, students returned to a modern 400-seat cafeteria overlooking the Pikeville skyline and celebrated the opening of the $1.5 million Hoops Athletics Facility. New and renovated residence halls and a student lounge have also been added. “A lot of exciting things are happening on the hill,” said President Paul Patton. “Across campus, we have worked very hard to encourage prospective students to take a look at the quality of our programs and facilities, which we believe provide as good a liberal arts education as you can get at any similar institution.” The Spanish major focuses on writing and reading skills in the language and also Spanish and Latin American geography, literatures and cultures. “From a liberal arts standpoint, majoring in Spanish is a way to learn more about the culture and the world,” said Ella Smith, assistant professor of Spanish. In today’s job market, being able to

interact with people through language provides skills that can make professionals more marketable, according to Smith. Knowledge of Spanish, especially in conjunction with another major, is helpful for careers in the global economy. There are also teaching opportunities as the demand for Spanish language instruction increases, as well as in government, health services, social work, law enforcement, business, law, military service and communication. “The university’s Film and Media Arts major provides students with a comprehensive foundation in film theory and practice, with an emphasis in documentary filmmaking, storytelling and cultural representation,” said Bruce Parsons, assistant professor of Film and Media Arts. In addition to hands-on experience at PikeTV, the local government and education channel, the program focuses on the relationship between art, media and

technology and learning how to create stateof-the-art digital media. The major prepares students for advanced study in film and media arts or for careers in the growing fields of interactive and visual communication, creative services and media. Designed for the working professional, the master’s degree in Sport Management can be completed in 3-4 semesters. The 33hour program offers firsthand sport industry knowledge through industry specific internships, classes and seminar programs. The second master’s degree program offered by the university, the graduatelevel coursework includes classes in facility management, sport marketing, law and athletic management, along with practical experience, internships and peer networking.

Alltech calls three Kentucky universities to

economic development competition With a $20,000 award at stake, Dr. Pearse Lyons, president of Alltech, has challenged the students of three Kentucky universities – the University of Kentucky, the University of Louisville and the University of Pikeville – to create jobs in the Commonwealth. Kentucky may be number one in basketball prowess, but the Bluegrass is currently the 13th worst U.S. state for finding a job. Even in its best month since November 2008, Kentucky is hovering above the national average of 8.1 percent with 8.3 percent of its population out of work, according to April figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor. Some Eastern Kentucky counties have reached unemployment levels as high as 16 percent, double the national average. In response to this conundrum, Dr. Pearse Lyons has tasked the three universities with developing a business plan competition to foster innovation, economic development and entrepreneurship in nine Eastern Kentucky counties - Bell, Floyd, Harlan, Johnson, Knott, Letcher, Magoffin, Martin and Pike. “It’s time to balance the scales and cultivate a Kentucky that leads the nation not just in college sports but in employment as well,” said Dr. Lyons. “With its hardworking people, vibrant culture, picturesque landscape and abundance of natural resources, Kentucky is ripe for the right idea. What we need is innovation and inspiration – sparks that will kindle the economic flame.” Teams have been chosen by university officials and made up primarily of MBA students and a select number of undergraduates. “This project has tremendous value to students, providing them the opportunity to apply scholastic knowledge to a real economic challenge and affect tangible change in their own state,” said Harvie Wilkinson, MBA program director and director of the Executive Education Center at the University of Kentucky’s Gatton College of Business and Economics. The Innovation Competition among the three universities will run November 2012 through January 2013, when the students will present their final plans to a panel of venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and business leaders. “The launch of this initiative with business students representing the University of Pikeville, the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville will create a venue for success, and will encourage a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in Appalachia,” said Howard Roberts, chair of the University of Pikeville’s Division of Business and Economics. “Dr. Lyons recognizes the value of this endeavor and the impact it will have on economic development. The quality of life in this region will be enhanced by the creation of jobs and the realization of entrepreneurial dreams.” According to one of the competition’s coordinators, Dr. Van Clouse, professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Louisville’s College of Business, the winning business plan will be the one that best fosters economic development in a nine county region of Eastern Kentucky and appeals to investors. “It may be the launch of a business in the region or perhaps it is a product that benefits the region,” said Dr. Clouse. The winning team will receive $20,000 from Alltech for their university’s business school, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky will prosper by capitalizing on their innovative ideas. “The University of Pikeville is looking forward to working with UK, UofL and Alltech to develop innovative ideas to grow the economy of our homeland,” said Paul Patton, president of the University of Pikeville. “Pearse Lyons has demonstrated his ability to provoke out-ofthe-box thinking, which is exactly what we need to solve chronic problems of Appalachia. We know our students and the region will benefit from this effort.” Reprinted with permission.

Eastern Kentucky’s Intellectual Capital $4 million in coal severance funds allocated for scholarships Months before the Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997 was passed by the Kentucky legislature, then Gov. Paul E. Patton posed the following questions to the people of the Commonwealth: “Do we have enough higher education in Kentucky? Is our education system accessible enough and does it meet the needs of the economy and the people of Kentucky? Do our people adequately understand the need for higher education?” The landmark legislation of the Patton Administration, also known as House Bill 1, revamped the state’s higher education system, bringing about sweeping changes that established major research universities, an independent community and technical college system, comprehensive universities committed to providing bachelor and master degree programs accessible to all Kentuckians and a commitment to develop virtual campuses, libraries and high schools within the Commonwealth to serve all citizens wherever they live. Fast-forward to 2012 and Patton, now president of the University of Pikeville, makes the case to Kentucky lawmakers that affordability and accessibility are still obstacles to bachelor-degree attainment in Southeastern Kentucky. “We have long known that the educational level of our citizens was lower than the rest of the state and the nation,” said Patton. “We have many outstanding elementary and secondary schools in Eastern Kentucky that are receiving national recognition for their achievements, thanks almost entirely to the equalization of funding and the accountability required by KERA. We are not yet producing education at the college level equal in quantity to the national average which was the underlying purpose of HB 1,” said Patton. “One of the reasons is the inadequacy of access to the state university system which exists in the major coal-producing counties of Southeastern Kentucky.” Earlier this year, House Speaker Greg Stumbo and Representative Leslie Combs filed House Bill 260, which would address the issue of inadequate access to state supported institutions of postsecondary education in Southeastern Kentucky by bringing the University of Pikeville into the state university system. Considering that the state budget was going to reduce funding

for the current state supported universities, the proposal proved to be unattainable at the time. The House amended HB 260 to become a scholarship program funded by the coal severance tax fund and designed to address accessibility and affordability issues for students from a primary service area covering a 12-county region which included the major coal producing counties of Pike, Leslie, Magoffin, Letcher, Harlan, Perry, Bell, Martin, Johnson, Floyd, Breathitt and Knott. HB 260 as amended passed the House of Representatives but was not enacted.

proud that we’ve found a way to make sure more students can continue their studies. These coal severance fund scholarships will surely help more of our students to achieve their goal of a college degree.” The pilot project is modeled after HB 260 and the grant will provide $2,050,000 for scholarships in fiscal year 2013 and $2,250,000 in fiscal year 2014. “I would like to thank Gov. Beshear for giving us this opportunity … for returning the coal severance dollars to our region … for supporting a project to improve education … we will make you proud,” said Combs. Among the eligibility requirements, students must be graduates or GED recipients from one of the nine major coal-producing counties in Southeastern Kentucky of Bell, Harlan, Letcher, Pike, Floyd, Johnson, Martin, Magoffin and Knott and have earned at least 60 credit hours toward a bachelor’s degree. These scholarships benefit students attending state supported or nonprofit independent colleges and universities in the region. The grant also provided a limited amount of funding for infrastructure improvements for interactive classrooms on Kentucky Community and Technical College System campuses to increase access to distance learning in the region. As a result of these scholarships, the University of Pikeville has established extension campuses in Letcher, Harlan, Bell and Johnson counties. Multi-County Local Government Economic Development Funds (LGEDF)/ Coal Severance Funds are a portion of coal severance taxes set aside to fund projects benefiting two or more coal-producing counties and are administered through the Department for Local Government. The Pike County and Knott County Fiscal Courts submitted the application for the project. “This is a major step in bringing equality to educational opportunities in Southeastern Kentucky,” said Patton. It has become more and more apparent that we need intellectual capital as well as physical capital if we are to solve the region’s problems. Eastern Kentucky can never be an equal partner with the rest of the Commonwealth in the areas of economic attainment unless the economy of Eastern Kentucky is brought up to the state average. Education is the only vehicle which can do that.”

K4C$@ The legislative session ended but the facts remained – the average bachelor degree attainment rate for the rest of the state was 17.1 percent higher than the attainment rate of 9.1 percent for the proposed 12-county service area. Patton, along with Vice President James Hurley, Stumbo and Combs continued working with Gov. Steve Beshear and county leadership to address the issue. In May Beshear announced a pilot project authorizing more than $4 million in coal severance funds to be used for scholarships in several colleges and universities in nine major coal-producing counties of Southeastern Kentucky over the next two years. The pilot project, the Kentucky Coal County College Completion Scholarship Program (K4C$), was available in July to college juniors and seniors and nontraditional students seeking to complete their degrees. “Kentuckians recognize the importance of completing a college degree, and more and more people are pursuing higher education. That’s a good sign. But the cost of attending school can be prohibitive,” said Beshear. “I’m

In his keynote address, American Osteopathic Association President Ray E.

State and federal funds were secured, but the medical school’s success was left up to the university, according to Rogers. “Sitting in the heart of coal country, you have given such a fitting tribute to the industry by naming this facility The Coal Building,” Rogers said. “Coal is the bedrock of Kentucky and the foundation for our region. The industry has done more than put food on the table for thousands of families. It has opened new doors of opportunity over the years by giving back to our region, creating flat land so we can build the facilities we need and providing the economic engine for growth across the state.”

Coal Building offers HIGH TECH hi-tech, high quality training HIGH QUALITY Robotic Simulators

Much like the “whole person” approach to osteopathic medicine, advanced technology, innovative classrooms and hands-on learning are among the opportunities The Coal Building provides for Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine (KYCOM) students. A key feature of the $40 million educational facility is the Dr. H. Clinton Bevins Family Clinical Skills Training and Evaluation Center. Designed to enhance the instruction of diagnostic and clinical skills, the center houses 12 specially equipped hi-tech examination rooms, high-fidelity robotic patient simulators and KYCOM’s free outpatient community clinic. “This will enhance our ability to produce medical students who become physicians with a better understanding of patients’ needs, and a humanistic approach to developing professional, compassionate and competent relationships with their patients, an approach that will greatly impact their careers, the patients they serve and health care in our region,” said Boyd R. Buser, D.O., FACOFP, vice president for health affairs and dean of KYCOM. “I would like to reiterate our heartfelt thanks to William and Ann Bevins and the Bevins family for their support in the development of this key facility.” Kevin Farthing, a non-traditional first-year student from Prestonsburg who worked as an engineer in Lexington, Ky., for the past eight years, said everything about the new building – and KYCOM – is geared to help student-doctors succeed. “The Coal Building is KYCOM’s commitment to both the student doctors and the community of Appalachia to produce the best possible physicians and citizens who will be serving the area for years to come,” said Farthing. “Eastern Kentucky’s best and brightest no longer have to leave to receive a first class medical education. Additionally, the best and brightest from all parts of the country and the world can find the tools for their success tucked right here in the mountains. I am honored to be a part of this school and am proud of my community for the commitment they have made to support it.”

Portable, flexible and weighing a mere 75 pounds, “SimMan” is the perfect patient. He can breathe, talk and generate heart, breath and bowel sounds. A computerized patient simulator, students can check SimMan’s blood pressure, insert an IV and shock him. Using specialized software, he can even be programmed to die. In addition to SimMan, KYCOM students and nursing students in the undergraduate college will have an opportunity to receive training using SimBaby and Harvey, a cardiopulmonary patient simulator that mimics 30 cardiac conditions. “The new state-of-the-art and expanded clinical skills training and evaluation center will allow KYCOM to provide training and consistent, highly standardized, extensive competency-based testing of students,” said Peter Zajac, D.O., FACOFP, associate professor of Family Medicine and director of the KYCOM’s clinical skills training and evaluation program. “The addition of high-fidelity robotic patient simulators will provide all of our students not only with an opportunity to learn the necessary bedside manners, life-saving clinical, technical, and diagnostic skills but also the importance of effectively interacting with other health care professionals such as nursing, which is vital to the delivery of quality standard of care for patients in both a hospital and office setting.”

Standardized Patients

The Dr. H. Clinton Bevins Family Clinical Skills Training and Evaluation Center also serves KYCOM’s standardized patient and human model program. Standardized patients help students learn how to take patient medical histories, perform routine examinations, diagnose health conditions, and develop treatment plans. Human models serve as an actual patient for physical examination. “Standardized patients are individuals trained to portray patients with specific medical conditions,” said Zajac. “KYCOM’s standardized patient program enhances communication and diagnostic skills for medical students before they interact with real patients on their way to becoming future osteopathic physicians.”

Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Lab

Osteopathic physicians’ training includes an additional focus that centers on treating the body by improving its natural functions through osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). Through the manual manipulation of bones and soft tissue, OMT aims to restore the body’s structural integrity so it can function in a natural and healthy way.

Located on the 9th floor of The Coal Building, the Osteopathic Principles and Practices Lab is a state-of-the-art facility for teaching osteopathic manipulative treatment techniques. The lab features 72 electric OMT tables with lift backs that enable students to adjust the table to their own height, thereby allowing them to perform techniques much more comfortably and effectively. There are three stationary and two mobile cameras, allowing for multiple views of techniques being demonstrated on a raised stage. Laura Griffin, D.O., FAAO, associate professor and chair of the Department of Osteopathic Principles and Practices, said projectors and large screens throughout the room enable a class of 140 students to see both the presentations containing the didactic material and the video technique demonstrations. A podium on the side holds all of the controls for the teaching fellows to operate the equipment unobtrusively, allowing the lecturer to focus on presenting. An added benefit, two full walls of windows provide beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, but electric shades can block the sunlight for visibility of the screens. “The osteopathic skills lab has created the ideal learning environment for our students, and perfectly demonstrates KYCOM’s dedication to providing excellent osteopathic physicians to care for the people of Appalachia,” said Griffin.

Research

A place where science, technology and medicine converge, KYCOM’s new research lab is a modern molecular and cell biology facility for faculty research in the biomedical sciences. The laboratory includes all the standard equipment found in large university research labs, as well as specialized equipment such as a confocal microscope, a real-time PCR amplification system, high-speed and ultracentrifuges, and a chemiluminescence detection system. Warren Lushia, Ph.D., KYCOM’s associate professor of biochemistry, said the research lab would provide opportunities for students to work with the faculty on original research projects in molecular biology, genetics, physiology, immunology, cell biology, biochemistry and microbiology.

A CountRy Doctor’s Legacy By William B. Bevins Pikeville Junior College Class of 1938

Being able to live long enough to play a small part in the development and dedication of the embodiment of the vision of The University of Pikeville Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine to “bring Medicine to the Mountains” in the form of The Coal Building and its stellar teaching facilities has been one of the great events of my 93 years. Touring the nine spectacular floors, and particularly for us, the fourth floor’s Dr. H. Clinton Bevins Family Clinical Skills Training and Evaluation Center, brought back so many memories of my father setting out on horseback to take medicine to his neighbors in rural Pike County. One memory that stands out was the day when as a nine-yearold boy hunting squirrels with my father in the woods above our home, he showed me what to do should I become lost in those woods. I did not know then that he knew that he would not live much longer, as there was no treatment in those days for congestive heart failure. My father was a mountain doctor who had graduated fourth in his class from the University of Louisville Medical School in 1902. After serving as a captain in World War I, he committed to practice medicine in the mountain country of his family and ancestors. In one saddlebag on one of the two horses that he kept ready to respond to appeals for medical assistance were his portable pharmacy and basic medical equipment. The other held his World War I revolver, protection in the event of attack in the wilderness. My father was the most brilliant man I have ever known. He taught me many things in the short time that my sister Anna Mae and I had with him. When he became aware that his short life was concluding too early, he sought assurance from my mother that she would pursue the goal of seeing us graduate from the university. My own dream to go to medical school was cut short when I contracted rheumatic fever with resultant heart damage while teaching school to raise funds to go to medical school. Instead, I went into business and have been able in recent years to contribute to my alma mater’s vision of providing medical care for the people of Appalachia. I think of how thrilled my father would be to see that little boy extend his dream of better health for his neighbors with this great educational development so nearby. We hope that members of our family for generations to come will continue to build on our beginning effort to keep the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine in the forefront of American medical education.

Training tomorrow’s tech-savvy physicians

Third-year medical student William Murphy calls it the iPad revolution. Convinced this new technology would transform the student experience at the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine (KYCOM), he took his message and a demonstration of the tablet’s capabilities to the medical school’s instructional resources committee.

Gone are the 74 pounds of note cards and reference materials KYCOM students carry daily, traded in for a sleek mobile device with high resolution display, a fast processor and wireless connectivity – all weighing in at a little over a pound. Using the iPad, Murphy went through a typical day for a medical student demonstrating how he could access email, the calendar, notes, textbooks and even his home computer. “Even though it was sold initially as a product for consumption rather than creation, it still did most of the basic functions of a laptop. The iPad quickly became priceless to me,” Murphy said. Cathryn Rehmeyer, Ph.D., associate professor of pathology at KYCOM, remembers Murphy’s demonstration for the faculty. “He took an Excel spreadsheet a professor had given students and with the touch of a button converted the information to the iPad,” said Rehmeyer. Murphy said the reaction from the faculty was positive with a lot of “head shaking and wows” and resulted in an invitation to share the information with KYCOM’s Dean, Boyd R. Buser, D.O., FACOFP. “One week after that presentation I got an email from Dr. Rehmeyer saying Dean Buser had approved the purchasing of iPads for every incoming first-year student and all of the faculty,” said Murphy. That was two years ago and since then two classes of KYCOM students have been issued iPads. Rehmeyer said workshops for students and faculty have helped with the learning curve and transition. And while some students still prefer printed notes, an added benefit has been a savings in printing costs. A handful of schools have incorporated

20 UPIKE MAGAZINE

iPads into their curriculum. In researching tablet use among schools last year Rehmeyer found that some require students to purchase the tablet out of pocket or benefactors have made gifts to schools. KYCOM, along with Yale and Stanford, were the only schools providing iPads to medical students as part of the tuition. U.S. News & World Report has ranked KYCOM fifth in affordability among the 10 least expensive private medical schools in the nation. Since the school’s founding, the “KYCOM Advantage” has been to provide students with the same educational opportunities as those with greater resources. That includes all medical equipment, books, uniforms, testing fees, memberships to student associations, use of a laptop and now an iPad. “We have been a pioneer in looking out for our students and giving them a level playing field,” said Rehmeyer. “We have that history.” Second-year medical student John Alford Jr. uses his iPad daily to take notes, highlight important aspects of lectures and to record lectures. “When we got the iPad my thought was, ‘Sweet, I get to have the latest technology out there, but what will I actually use it for in class?’ I came to find that I would use it for almost everything, except formulating some documents for certain classes, such as long clinical notes, then I use the laptop we were provided by the school,” said Alford. “I did have a hard time figuring out all the gadgets and how-to’s with the iPad, but once I picked up on that it became the easiest thing to use in my daily life as a student.” Alford said the iPad has helped him study and prepare to be a better physician in a number of ways and he expects to use the technology when he begins clinical rotations next year. Alford has also discovered that with many medical topics, “There’s an app for that.” “It has played a large role in my success in classes, in being able to see images and slides in color and zoomed in for a view that showed the specific details of parts of the body and neuroscience last school year. It also helps in a variety of ways when looking at everyday clinical findings, such as X-rays and EKGs,” Alford said. “I believe mobile technology is changing medicine, and for the better, in that doctors have, at their fingertips, the ability to look up additional information about disease, treatments and other information useful for the doctor during the day-to-day.” Murphy, a third-year student, couldn’t agree more. “I cannot express how valuable it has been. Before you go on third-year rotations you are bombarded with advice from current third- and fourth-year students about the selection of books that you should carry with you during rounds and clinic shifts,” said Murphy, who has identified many applications that are valuable to medical students. “Netter’s Anatomy Atlas is a native app for iPad now, and I can study anatomy plates before a surgery or during downtime on wards. Since I worked from day one to convert all of my notes to an iPad friendly format, at any given point throughout the day I have access to two years of medical school notes.” Murphy is so convinced of the iPad’s benefit as an educational tool that he started a blog. “It is more of an online journal of everything that I have learned through doing, but I wanted to make it available,” he said. Murphy’s blog can be found at ipaddoctor.blogspot.com.

Hoops facility offers state-of-the-art training Just before classes began in August, the University of Pikeville and the Hoops Family Foundation held the opening and dedication of the Hoops Athletics Facility. The multisport practice facility is a stateof-the-art 14,400-square foot building that cost $1.5 million to complete. In addition to the offices and locker rooms for the Bears’ football team, the centerpiece of the facility is a 40-yard turf practice field that can be used by all outdoor sports. The facility also includes a weight room. “God has blessed us in so many ways,” said Jeff Hoops speaking on behalf of the Hoops Family Foundation. “There’s something special going on here that is

We employ about 500 people here in Pike County and I’m very honored to be here and be a part of this community. I’m very proud to be here and be a part of this facility.” Vice President James Hurley thanked the Hoops Family and others whose generosity made the facility possible for UPIKE students. “When our students left last May this was a construction site,” Hurley said. “Now, they have returned to an incredible facility that will help them train to be

better athletes and fuel their competitive spirit. Someday, when they look back on the experience, this opportunity will have been a significant part of their growth as a student-athlete.” Among those singing the praises of the facility were Steve Baker, commissioner of the Mid-South Conference. “Jeff and Patricia Hoops, you’re the kind of people who make intercollegiate athletics go.

ensure a strong future for the

University of Pikeville

Andrew was a proud patriot for the country he so dearly loved. Serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II in the Pacific, he held a mid-level officer’s position onboard one of the finest battleships in the Pacific Fleet. Engagement in the Pacific was sporadic; the crew on Andrew’s battleship spent the majority of their time in preparation for the next conflict. To pass the time, Andrew and his shipmates would put on modest theatre productions – certainly lacking in set design expertise and materials, but not lacking in enthusiasm. Because of this unique experience, Andrew developed a great love of the theatre that would last for the rest of his days. In his retirement from a successful career, Andrew settled in a town near his alma mater and became an avid follower of the university theatre program. He looked forward to opening night and the rare chance he might have the opportunity to meet some of the student cast members and university staff. He delighted in receiving the theatre schedule each year and eagerly planned his attendance at various opening and closing nights for each show. Andrew watched as underclassmen grew from supporting roles as freshmen and sophomores to leading roles in their junior and senior years. He marveled at their growth and talent and felt a tremendous connection

to them, even though he sat rows away from the glow of the spotlights. One day, as Andrew was meeting with his financial advisor, he asked what he could do to provide assistance for theatre students from his alma mater. He had heard of the struggles facing theatre students – working odd jobs to meet tuition costs, summer theatre roles that paid modest wages, and a rehearsal schedule that placed great demands on the lives of the cast members. Working with his financial advisor, Andrew developed an estate plan that provided for his children, made provisions for his health care in the future, and left a sizable amount to endow a theatre scholarship fund. His advisor also found a way for Andrew to donate yearly to the scholarship fund within his budget so he could begin supporting students right away. He was thrilled to provide support for these deserving students and have the opportunity to meet them, hear their stories, and watch their amazing growth. Today, Andrew’s endowed scholarship fund makes it possible for many students to afford school and pursue their dreams of a career on the stage. Although Andrew remained out of the spotlight throughout his remaining years, he made and will continue to make a tremendous impact on the lives of these students. His fellow crew members would have been proud.
