A Message from the President

Dear Friend: Would you agree with me that personal growth should be a lifelong pursuit? Of course you would. Yet, somehow, our attitudes and behaviors often demonstrate a fixed mental state.

At High Point University, we strive to prepare students for the world as it is going to be, not as it is or as it was. And to do that, we must instill within our students a growth mindset.

What is a growth mindset? It’s our capacity to see opportunities instead of obligations. It’s our ever-evolving ability to provide permanent, thoughtful solutions rather than being a temporary solver of problems. It’s our choice to see a resource instead of a roadblock. It’s a discipline to see failure not as a destination, but rather, merely a step along the journey.

A growth mindset reminds us that every moment is an opportunity to learn and enhance our understanding of the world and our place in it.

When people invest time on our campus and begin to think vertically about why our environment is unique, they begin to understand how much this institution values every moment as a learning opportunity. Our culture is one of energy and enthusiasm, sacred values and patient scholarship.

HPU’s Quality Enhancement Plan, our strategic academic road map, is based on Stanford University professor Carol Dweck’s research and book titled “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success.” Our faculty are energized by our QEP and are masterfully integrating growth mindset strategies within their pedagogies.

Faculty As Change Agents

“Change agent” is a term usually reserved for corporate mavericks.

But each day faculty work in both methodical and caring ways to develop and nurture within students the ability to think critically, act responsibly, and serve purposefully. I often tell parents that faculty are heroes, models, and mentors. While it may be easy to understand how faculty mentor students in the classroom or office, we need to appreciate also the modeling of values faculty display with their research and publications. We sometimes forget the lighted lamp |

students are watching and learning from us even when we may not know it. Viewed through this lens, faculty model the patience and practice of scholarship with their research and creative works. Through their pursuits, young people learn that success requires persistence, dissection, analysis and dedication.

In that regard, and through the discoveries of their work, faculty are agents of change. I’m grateful for their works of scholarship and their commitment to mentoring the leaders of tomorrow.

Scholarly Pursuits: Sharing Knowledge and Moving Forward

This publication recognizes the scholarly work of High Point University’s distinguished faculty. It is an impressive collection of research publications and honors. This year’s edition includes Dr. Kevin Ford’s journey into biomechanics research to help reduce the risk of injury in athletes, Dr. Jane Nichols’s argument that interior design is an evidence-based discipline that is grounded in the social sciences, and Dr. Brad Barlow’s work with students on binary star systems. It also includes a report of HPU faculty’s scholarly activities and achievements. $2 Billion Investment in Holistic Education

Since 2005, we have faithfully and courageously invested $2 billion to build a highly relevant academy which seeks to educate the mind, nurture the heart and nourish the soul. And while learning opportunities exist in every corner of our campus, we are anchored by the traditions of the liberal arts. Our recent growth includes the founding of five new academic schools with facilities and equipment to support innovative teaching and perpetual learning. We’ve expanded our campus from 90 to 430 acres, increased scholarship opportunities from $8 million to $30 million annually, tripled the number of faculty, and increased traditional undergraduate enrollment from 1,450 to 4,500 — attracting students from all 50 states and 65 countries.

HPU’s total transformation demonstrates our capacity to expand our mindset, nurture our growth and abundantly thrive. As you review the work of our gifted faculty, you begin to understand how we are preparing students for the future.

Sincerely,

Nido R. Qubein President FALL 2017 |

The Dean’s Corner

School of Education UPDATE Dr. Mariann Tillery, Dean

Today’s teacher preparation programs must be designed to equip candidates with the knowledge and skills to create rich learning environments that foster opportunities for students to succeed in life, career, and citizenship.

At High Point University, the J. Robert and Maggie Stout School of Education’s conceptual framework, “leaders for learners in a global world,” provides the template for all of our teacher preparation programs and emphasizes inquiry-based teaching methodologies fused with extensive clinical experience to connect theory, practice, and reflection. At its core, the School of Education’s mission is to produce graduates who can serve as “facilitators” in the learning process. To accomplish this goal, highly successful teachers must be able to support differentiated learning for all students and instill skills in communication, collaboration, problem solving, and critical thinking

the lighted lamp |

that will prepare students to face the complex challenges of this century. The key, we believe, lies at the very heart of the university’s mission which is, in part, to “deliver educational experiences that enlighten, challenge, and prepare students to lead lives of significance in complex global communities.” Steeped in the tradition of the liberal arts, great teachers do not just simply “do” the job of teaching, they must be change agents who are continuously challenged to think about what they are doing, why they are doing it, and, most importantly, how to adapt when the desired outcomes are not achieved. In short, to produce the next generation of visionary thinkers, our schools must be led by individuals who embrace the role of a growth mindset coach who inspires learners to believe in innovation, creativity, and adaptability. Today, the United States faces a “global achievement gap” that increasingly suggests our education system is producing citizens who are unprepared for the shifts in job demands and employment mobility

of the twenty-first century. Tasks requiring linear thinking are being outsourced more and more. Specifically, new emerging industries require a workforce of individuals who are self-directed, flexible, and confident in their ability to work on tasks that are becoming increasingly non-routine. Skills in networking, digital literacy, collaboration and global awareness are critical.

To embrace the spirit of growth mindset, experiential learning is a major component of all teacher preparation programs at High Point University. Prospective teachers are immersed in the very classroom settings in which their developing skills can be applied, practiced and reflected upon.

The faculty in the School of Education supports each student’s growth through continuous feedback that guides selfimprovement in planning, instruction, and assessment and rewards those who are challenged to grow in these talents.

A distinction of teacher education at High Point University is that clinical field experiences begin early in the freshman year and conclude with a full year of student teaching at the end of the program rather than one semester. Thus, our students are afforded the opportunity to experience life as a teacher in all its complexity for an entire academic year prior to entering the classroom. The breadth of this experience is instrumental in shaping the skills needed to solve problems in real-time, to develop the capacity and confidence for risk-taking and independence. Historically, the School of Education has been fortunate to enjoy many collaborative partnerships with area school districts in the Triad

region and, more recently, across the state and beyond. Recent expansions of these more traditional approaches include key business stakeholders such as LEGO Education North America. LEGO Education at High Point University is largely an experiential outreach program based upon a constructivist model of teaching and learning. Since 2014 the School of Education has hosted more than 4,000 children from area schools for LEGO field-day events to support teaching the Common Core Math and Next Generation Science Standards. The LEGO Education outreach program has allowed our own students to earn course credit as they gain confidence with the practical applications of leadership, technology, and content knowledge in STEM. As a Service Provider for LEGO Education, our faculty and students engage in research for the development of new educational products, field-test these in local partner schools, and train teachers on how these products can be used in the classroom to engage students in math and science.

The Dean’s Corner (continued)

The School of Education’s commitment to “growth mindset” does not end with the graduation of our teacher education majors each May. Research has consistently shown that the first few years can be particularly challenging for teachers; approximately one-third of our nation’s graduates leave the teaching profession within the first two years. Interestingly, salary, discipline and the many other issues that appear to challenge young teachers are often not cited as a primary reason for leaving the teaching profession prematurely. Instead, perceived lack of support and mentoring are the key factors most often identified as leading to teacher attrition. Colleges and universities with teacher preparation programs must be willing to mutually invest, along with school districts, in the continued well-being and support of their own graduates. The School of Education at High Point University is proud of our own Mentor Teacher Program that was started by one of our faculty members in 2012. The program utilizes retired teachers from the local schools who volunteer their time to work with our graduates who are currently in their first or second year of teaching. The range of services provided includes face-to-face or online coaching and professional development opportunities for new teachers that focus on topics such as classroom management, student engagement, technology, or instructional planning. Graduates who are experiencing greater struggles may opt to have more formalized classroom visits by the mentor.

Now in its fourth year, perhaps one of the most rewarding outcomes of this program is the ability for the School of Education to

the lighted lamp |

| highpoint.edu

use some of our own remarkable graduates to assist us in delivering the program.

Current trends validate the positive impact that the Mentor Program has made in that the performance evaluations of our own graduates consistently exceed the state average in terms of teacher leadership, content knowledge, and facilitating student learning. Since 2013, approximately 89% of School of Education graduates have remained in the teaching profession beyond their first three years of teaching.

As a philosophy, growth mindset reminds us never to be complacent in our own responsibilities to strive for excellence.

This year we have been fortunate to have achieved many significant milestones in the School of Education. With increased national scrutiny on teacher preparation programs, High Point University is one of the first independent colleges in the state of North Carolina to have successfully undergone a two-year accreditation review process by the Council for the Accreditation for Educator Preparation

(CAEP). Rigorous evidence-based standards now place a heavy emphasis on monitoring how well an institution’s graduates in teacher education actually perform in the classroom once they become employed. Further validation of our efforts were recognized by the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ), a nonpartisan Washington, D.C. research and policy group, which evaluates teacher education programs nationally against evidence-based criteria. In its most recent 2016 Teacher Prep Review, High Point University’s School of Education was ranked in the top 10% based on a review of 875 undergraduate programs across the country. In May 2016, the School of Education proudly graduated the university’s

first doctoral degree recipients in Educational Leadership. One of these May graduates, Dr. Myra Cox, was recently named the superintendent of Elkin City Schools. In four years, the School of Education has increased its enrollment to over 80 doctoral students in Educational Leadership from nineteen school districts across North Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Indiana. In seeking to play an instrumental role in leadership development, the School of Education was awarded a 1.7 million dollar grant last fall by the North Carolina Alliance for School Leadership Development to create the High Point University Leadership Academy (HPULA). The goal of the academy is to develop the talent of aspiring teachers to become effective school principals by merging leadership coursework with innovative and evidence-based practices.

The Leadership Academy will run from January 2017 through May 2018 and will target 30 outstanding teacher leaders from selected North Carolina school districts.

Regardless of ongoing debates about rigor and accountability in education, it is clear that our nation will always need great teachers. Access to a high-quality education is a fundamental right for every child and may likely be one of the most powerful determinants of our nation’s economic growth and strength on the world stage.

Delivering on the promise to produce transformational leaders who are capable of driving educational reform both in and out of the classroom will continue to be at the forefront of our mission in the Stout School of Education.

Developing a Biomechanics Research Agenda to Inspire Others and Reduce Risk of Injury Kevin R. Ford, Associate Professor, Department of Physical Therapy

I have kept a quote from Galileo in mind throughout my career that states: “you cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.”

My teaching and research are intentionally developed and passionately carried out to inspire and challenge students to find “it” within themselves. Receiving the Ruth Ridenhour Scholarly and Professional Achievement Award at High Point University is certainly a highlight for my career. Reflecting on my research and the colleagues and students that I have been fortunate to work with has allowed me to identify three words that have been pivotal to me professionally: passion, proactive, and team.

My research has focused on identifying underlying biomechanical factors and mechanisms linked to higher risk of injury and to design and implement effective injury prevention programs. One devastating injury that I devote a significant amount of time investigating is a rupture to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This serious knee injury typically requires surgery, a lengthy rehabilitation and, unfortunately, elevated

My research has focused on identifying underlying biomechanical factors and mechanisms linked to higher risk of injury and to design and implement effective injury prevention programs. risk of debilitating knee osteoarthritis. ACL injuries occur at a two to ten-fold greater rate in females compared to males participating in the same sports. In order to design successful ACL injury prevention programs, underlying mechanisms linked to the higher risk of ACL injury in females compared to males need to be better understood.

My passion for studying this injury developed twenty-seven years ago during my first year as an undergraduate student at the University of Kentucky. I had just finished a successful first season of collegiate soccer and was awarded the Most Outstanding Defender for the team. While participating in offseason training, I was running down the field and quickly changed direction when I felt pop in my right knee. I collapsed to the ground and immediately knew something was wrong. I had torn my ACL, a major ligament in my knee responsible for joint stability.

I had ACL reconstruction surgery and had to endure months of rehabilitation to get back for my sophomore year. Looking back on this injury, it was not the challenges that came with recovering from an injury or enduring the pain and setbacks that I vividly recall. Rather, what I recall are the questions that began to form and develop related to human movement, forces and how injuries occur — I had realized my passion!

Combining my love for sports and my developing analytical mindset had led me

to biomechanics. Biomechanics is simply defined as the study of the mechanics of a living body. I had numerous professors that helped me develop, but Dr. Jon Hall was a dynamic teacher who truly took an interest in me from my first semester on campus as an undergraduate student and throughout all my graduate work. I still think daily of the advice he gave me one day shortly after my injury. He was basically paraphrasing from Confucius’ teachings and told me, “find something you love and you never work a day in your life.” I didn’t really process this statement at the time, but this advice would help me navigate not only my career choices but also my future research agenda.

Following my undergraduate degree in kinesiology at the University of Kentucky, I decided to continue graduate studies in exercise science with a focus on biomechanics.

Unfortunately, it took me suffering a second ACL my senior year to completely convince me of my path. I worked under Dr. Robert Shapiro at the University of Kentucky for over two years and learned a great deal of analytical biomechanics skills. However, the most valuable knowledge that I reflect on during my master’s degree was how to become proactive. Taking an initiative in my own learning and skill development was an important step for me personally that directly led to future opportunities.

My thesis examined muscle activation and movement in female and male soccer players during a quick cutting maneuver. My project was ambitious and helped guide me in setting up biomechanical movement analysis studies that examined risk factors related to the high rate of injuries in female athletes compared to male athletes.

My first research position following my master’s degree was with a small, innovative biomechanics company, Novel Electronics, Inc., based in Minnesota with global headquarters in Munich, Germany. Susan Diekrager is the Executive Vice President that provided me with this experience and exposure to great thinkers across the world. I travelled and began to develop a network of biomechanists and researchers that, to this day, I still collaborate with. While I had the opportunity to work in dozens of the most advanced facilities with state-ofthe-art instrumentation, it was the people - and more importantly the team - that made the great laboratories emerge from the rest. While I am fortunate to be the Director of the Department of Physical Therapy’s Human Biomechanics and Physiology Laboratory, it is a dynamic team culture that we have that has allowed our laboratory to be successful in five short years of existence.

My research career really began to accelerate when I started working directly with Dr. Tim Hewett at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. We systematically utilized a theoretical model, developed by van Mechelen called the ‘Sequence of Prevention,’ to focus our research on risk factors related to ACL injuries. I learned that hard, passionate work pays off as we received consistent federal, industry, and foundational funding. We received prestigious awards that recognized our innovation, and I published nearly 100 peer-reviewed manuscripts while working in Cincinnati.

Additionally, I had to balance my fulltime position with earning my PhD from the University of Kentucky.

While I am fortunate to be the Director of the Department of Physical Therapy’s Human Biomechanics and Physiology Laboratory, it is a dynamic team culture that we have that has allowed our laboratory to be successful in five short years of existence.

When I least expected, the Chair of a new Physical Therapy Department, Dr. Eric Hegedus, called with a unique opportunity to create a research culture in an extraordinary environment. I initially hesitated, but then jumped at the chance to continue to develop my research at High Point University. Our team consists of talented students, faculty, and staff that have been instrumental in the success of our laboratory since it opened in 2012. I have published 52 peer-reviewed manuscripts at High Point University over the last five years. Our publications have been recognized multiple times with prestigious national awards for our work related to ACL injury prevention. We received the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF) Clinical Research Award (2016), awarded for outstanding orthopaedic clinical research.

We received the George J. Davies – James A. Gould Excellence in Clinical Inquiry Award (2015) for our paper in the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT); this award is given to the most outstanding clinical practice article published in JOSPT each calendar year. We received the O’Donoghue Award in 2015 (for a second time) from The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine. Finally, one of our manuscripts was awarded the Nicolas

sport-specific tasks and long-term movement strategies. The research is currently ongoing and supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number R21AR069873.

In 2016, Dr. Anh-Dung Nguyen, Dr. Jeffrey Taylor and I secured the largest National Institutes of Health grant in High Point University’s history ($528,107).

The grant, titled “Real-time Optimized Biofeedback Utilizing Sport Techniques,” has funded our students and faculty looking at innovative biofeedback techniques in middle school and high school-aged female soccer players. Biofeedback training may complement traditional preventive training, but has not been widely studied in connection with ACL injuries. We hypothesize that biofeedback may be needed to maximize the effectiveness of neuromuscular prophylactic interventions, and will improve lower extremity biomechanics during dynamic

In conclusion, our future projects will continue to ambitiously focus on hypothesis-driven research to prevent lower extremity injuries. Our accomplished, interdisciplinary research team passionately aims to keep young people active and involved in sports and recreational activities through proactively identifying and targeting underlying risk factors that have the likelihood of being modified with neuromuscular training. Thinking back to the advice that Dr. Jon Hall gave me, I am certain that I found a love of research and teaching and therefore I do not work, I live. I hope students will follow my path, but, most importantly, I hope to inspire them to realize their passion and to proactively pursue it!

Interior Design As An Evidence-Based Discipline Dr. Jane L. Nichols, Associate Professor and Department Chair of Home Furnishings, Interior Design & Visual Merchandising

As a professor of interior design, I often hear from parents, practitioners, and professors in other disciplines who ask me about my research. They usually expect to hear about topics such as research on color theory, studies on ergonomic design for offices, or an examination of environments best suited for teaching and learning.

While these are all topics that I have explored, they have been in the context of research conducted for projects I’ve worked on. Like most other academic disciplines, interior designers use research methods in the practice every day. Whether you are a generalist or a specialist in a certain facility type, every interior design project brings a different architectural style, construction methods and materials, set of building codes to comply with, different population groups of primary and secondary users of the space, and widely varying programs of activities to plan for. While a client may have an overarching idea of needs and preferences, it is within the interior designer’s scope to interpret the client’s and organization’s mission and vision and to manifest these in the physical built environment. When we speak about interior design to our students, we stress that while the designer must be innovative and imaginative, the pencil or marker or mouse never moves until the data is gathered and analyzed. Interior design is an art, a business, and a profession. But, above all, it is rooted in the social sciences.

the lighted lamp |

14

| highpoint.edu

The interior designer must approach each project with not only a full grasp of the client’s expectations, but also with an excellent understanding of human psychology and sociology, and a goal of creating spaces that improve the quality of life for each inhabitant.

Whether designing a relaxing “third place” setting in which a millennial student spends an hour in respite from class with her favorite latte, or designing a sacredly imbued setting for an octogenarian who spends his final days on earth in hospice, our goal is the same—to use our intellect, intuition, and talent to create environments that make the human experience healthy, restorative, and inspiring Evidence-based research defined my design of an intensive-care unit recently. To combat the phenomenon of ICU psychosis, which occurs in one of every three patients who spend over five days in ICU, I coordinated the lighting to emulate a natural day-night cycle, and provided a view to the outdoors to prevent the disruption of circadian rhythms.

When a patient lays flat for hours staring up from their bed, the separation of wall and ceiling begin to blur, potentially causing disorientation and delirium. In response, I created an intricate ceiling trim detail around the room perimeter, delineating a visual differentiation to help combat confusion and the accompanying anxiety. When the hospital ICU was converted to a hospice unit, I designed a custom LED panel encasing a Tree of Life, a non-denominational motif, that brought color, warmth, spirit, and light into the space. The fluorescent fixture over the patient bed was then equipped with warmer soft-white bulbs, and an image of a dogwood branch on a frosted acrylic cover replaced the standard white plastic lens, visually connecting the patient to the local flora of

the region. When I learned that the elderly ladies of the community create quilts for each patient during their stay in hospice care, I selected upholstery for the sleepover sofa with a quilt-like pattern, but specified durable crypton fibers in gray tones that would compliment any colorful quilt provided. My design solution was informed by medicine, psychology, sociology, new urbanism, and anthropology, as well as art, architecture, and engineering.

The persona of the haughty, self-absorbed interior decorator is thankfully diminishing.

There is no place for that persona in interior design practice. Professional training comprises a rigorous course of study that certainly includes artistic and technical skill development, but the greater emphasis is on the investigation of how the environment influences human behavior. While each of us has aesthetic preferences of style, color, and comfort, these can often be attributed to historical influence or cultural resonance, and may also be influenced by our gender, socioeconomics, generation, or location. Interior design students explore the impacts of human factors early in their education (INT 2280 Studio III: The Human Factor) and learn that physical traits are minor elements compared with psychological and social characteristics.

It is within the social sciences that we build a foundation of understanding how to design appropriate and appealing interiors.

My studies began in art and design and evolved to urban studies, gerontology, and sustainability education. This frequently raises eyebrows, until I explain that my scholarly research focuses on sustainable design for housing the elderly. The listener then makes the connections. Design is all about making

FALL 2017 |

the connections. Interior designers need to be holistic thinkers, seeing the big picture while progressing through a multitude of details and design decisions. It is human beings, at times to include animals, who are at the center of every interior space we might imagine. It is not the building we design, but the space that people work, learn, grow, heal, and love in. We create a container for life to unfold in, not an edifice or a monument to our ego. Architect Louis Sullivan stated that, “form follows function.” But what good is beautiful form if it doesn’t provide comfort?

Leave it to artists to create beauty for its own sake. Interior designers do not claim to be artists, as we cannot afford the luxury of creating for ourselves alone. And what good is function if it fails to sustain life or nourish the soul? The deficiencies of engineering became clear as factories and machines created for production and efficiency caused physical injury, emotional trauma, and tore at the familial threads of society. We require engineering to ensure safe structures for the buildings we design, and we demand art as inspiration to create the kinds of places that draw people in and make them want to stay.

But form and function coalesce as nothing more than scaffolding on which to imagine how life might unfold. It is the interior designer’s innate and tacit knowledge (intuition) and her intellectual curiosity and scientific methodology that enables her to create a space that predicts, anticipates, plans, and dreams for how living is not just supported, but is celebrated.

The discipline of interior design can be housed in many schools and colleges, often finding its home in art or architecture schools. At some institutions it lands in engineering or business or consumer sciences. And, logically, it is frequently the staple of a college of human ecology.

So where does it belong? Anywhere.

Everywhere. Interior design is a highly interdisciplinary discipline. It is fluid and adaptable, and responsive to its academic and social residency. Interior design graduates of High Point University find great success in placements at prestigious firms across the country. But their study prepares them for so many more career paths, because it is, at its core, a problem-solving discipline that confronts human needs.

The practice of interior design requires a constant toggling between left and right brain hemispheres. The best designers live in the synapse, where the most creative solutions attempt to address the most ‘wicked problems’. Every designer leans a little left or right, and usually she finds her niche in work that honors her strengths, whether leaning toward art or engineering.

With an industry push in the direction of technology, I lament the trend toward dominant left-brain thought production.

Young minds absorb technology like sponges, but at the sacrifice of staying a little longer in the creative zone of the right hemisphere. It is a delicate balance in design

When we speak about interior design to our students, we stress that while the designer must be innovative and imaginative, the pencil or marker or mouse never moves until the data is gathered and analyzed.

Once interior designers gain a true understanding of the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual needs of the user, having conducted a thorough scientific investigation, they can confidently proceed to the creative endeavor of designing a space that ensures human health, enables wholeness, and ultimately evokes happiness. education, and we have so much to teach, and they have so much to learn. But the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle. In the end, it doesn’t matter if form follows function, or function follows form. What matters is that practicing and emerging interior designers are engaged social scientists who enthusiastically search for answers to the question, “who are the living beings at the center of the space I design for, and how do I seek to know them?” Once interior designers gain a true understanding of the physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual needs of the user, having conducted a thorough scientific investigation, they can confidently proceed to the creative endeavor of designing a space that ensures human health, enables wholeness, and ultimately evokes happiness.

In my current research, I’m investigating the model of cohousing as an economically feasible and environmentally sustainable archetype for aging-in-place in an intentional community. The nursing homes of the 1970s and assisted living facilities of the 1990s will not suit aging baby boomers, who wish to remain fully vibrant and independent citizens but face declining physical ability.

Aging boomers may also have a thin, financial safety net, yet can presume no promise of continued health care. As a cohousing advocate, I conducted action research in the development of a cohousing community in Asheville, North Carolina, and am currently working with another

group in creating cohousing in the Triad.

In order to investigate a culturally informed perspective on aging in community, my research took me to Taiwan in the summer.

Countries across the globe have rapidly aging populations, and most face parallel issues in affordably housing a growing, aging population, whose health and wellness may vary across decades. Community-based healthcare may be the link that enables aging-in-place, by shifting care to community members. Homes that are modular, flexible and adaptable may be another design solution that addresses housing across a lifespan, and enables older adults to remain in their community.

This worldwide housing dilemma presents itself as a ‘wicked problem’, but as we relay to our students, designers must cross disciplines and boundaries to find a nexus, and therein may lay a solution, at least in part. It is exciting and rewarding research, and as an interior designer, gerontologist, and sustainability educator, I’m excited to reach across divides to look for answers to such important questions as: “Where will grandma live?”; “Who will take care of her?”; “How can we know she will be OK?” There will be solutions in technology, certainly, and we welcome those. But my hypothesis leans toward reliance on the support of people living in a caring community. And this will take me right back to the social sciences, where interior design research is grounded.

THE HPU ASTROPHYSICS RESEARCH GROUP: Keeping a Finger on the Pulse of the Universe Dr. Brad N. Barlow, Assistant Professor of Astrophysics

Undergraduate students in the Department of Physics at High Point University have access to several research-grade telescopes located all around the world. These facilities have made possible a number of projects, the results of which have been presented by students at local and national conferences and occasionally published in peer-reviewed journals. Most recently, they have been trying to determine whether low-mass objects like planets and brown dwarfs can survive a “cosmic hug� by a nearby red giant star.

the lighted lamp |

18

| highpoint.edu

One can easily argue that stars represent the most important objects in astrophysics; they are the primary source of light in the universe and the building blocks of every galaxy. The “textbook” story for how stars similar to the Sun evolve is relatively straightforward: they start their lives fusing hydrogen into helium, swell up and become red giant stars upon exhausting their core hydrogen, momentarily fuse helium into carbon, and then quietly die as Earthsized white dwarf stars that slowly cool for all eternity. But this textbook explanation ignores one obvious fact — nearly every Sun-like star we know of in our own Milky Way galaxy hosts an exoplanet or even a system of exoplanets. Can these nearby planetary objects affect the future evolution of their stars? Can they survive the red giant phase of their stellar hosts?

We are lucky at High Point University to have access to a wide variety of facilities that make possible precise measurements of astrophysical objects.

For the past few years, I have been working with astronomers Dr. Veronika Schaffenroth (University of Innsbruck) and Dr. Maja Vuckovic (University of Valparaiso) to study several extreme binary star systems, referred to as “HW Vir” systems, that might help answer the questions above. These systems consist of a so-called “hot subdwarf” star and a lower-mass, cool companion; they are so close together that they orbit one another every few hours in a volume that could fit inside of our Sun! What makes an HW Vir binary interesting is the hot subdwarf star: it resembles the core of a once red giant star that was somehow stripped of its outermost layer. Both theory and observations imply that the nearby companion was responsible for the

More importantly, however, this low-mass object somehow survived the red giant phase of its neighbor and emerged relatively unscathed! While it appears that low-mass stars can survive this process, it is not clear whether brown dwarfs or planets can do so without evaporating or merging with their stellar neighbors. Measuring the distribution of the companion masses in HW Vir binaries is the best avenue for determining whether sub-stellar objects can survive red giant engulfment.

Studying any object in astrophysics can be quite challenging. Unlike much of physics, chemistry, or biology, in astronomy we cannot physically touch the objects we study. We can’t observe them up close, nor can we “poke” them to see how they respond to certain forces and stimuli. In fact, the only information we have is whatever Mother Nature decides to provide us in the form of electromagnetic radiation, or light. We are lucky at High Point University to have access to a wide variety of facilities that make

We are finding that student participation in the HW Vir project and other astronomy research projects helps set students apart when they apply to summer REU programs and graduate programs. possible precise measurements of astrophysical objects. Using money awarded to us in the form of a science instrumentation grant initiated by President Qubein, High Point University recently joined the Small & Moderate Aperture Research Telescope System (SMARTS) Consortium, a network of U.S. institutions, including Yale University and Georgia State University, that maintains and operates four professional telescopes in the Andes Mountains in Chile. We also utilize the UNC-built SKYNET system, an array of smaller, robotic telescopes located around the world that is accessible through a simple web interface. Lastly, we have had a substantial amount of success acquiring observing time on the 4.1-m SOAR telescope through proposals submitted to the National Optical Astronomy Observatory.

In the past few years, several undergraduate physics majors have participated in and contributed to our understanding of HW Vir binaries using these facilities.

While most modern-day telescopes can be controlled remotely, some ‘classical observing’ telescopes still require the observer to be on-site for all operations.

This past May, three students, Ryan Hegedus (’17), Alan Vasquez (’18), and Paddy Clancy (’19), joined me for a two-week long observing run in Chile to collect data with the CTIO/SMARTS 0.9-meter and the 4.1-meter SOAR Telescope. Students participated in all aspects of this work during our trip: they (i) pointed the telescope and dome to

each of our targets; (ii) filled the camera dewar with liquid nitrogen twice each night to keep it cool; (iii) set up the CCD for image acquisition; (iv) acquired all of the data; (v) analyzed the images as they came in; and (vi) re-aligned the telescope pointing one night using a rudimentary plumb bob. Once we returned to High Point, the students began writing their own code in Python to process and fully analyze the data.

Month by month, as new data come in, we have been able to solve for the companion masses in more and more HW Vir binaries. The first few systems solved appear to have red dwarf companions, which are extremely low-mass stars; their presence around hot subdwarf stars has been known for

Then we ran across a more interesting target that goes by the banal name OGLE-BLG-ELC-000114.

Our data from Chile showed us that the companion in this system is not a low-mass star, but a brown dwarf. This object, which has roughly the same diameter as Jupiter, is 50-60 times more massive than Jupiter but does not have enough mass to undergo nuclear fusion and be a star. Although this object does not qualify as a planet, our result is still remarkable in that it shows that substellar objects can survive the red giant phase of their host stars. We have found four to five HW Vir systems with substellar companions in addition to OGLEBLG-ELC-000114, with the lowest-mass object hovering around 40 Jupiter masses. It remains unclear whether planets specifically can survive the red giant engulfment process, but our current methodology appears sensitive enough to answer this question, once we have looked at a sufficient number of systems. Although the HW Vir project will take many more years to complete, students and I have already presented tentative results at local, national, and international venues, including the American Astronomical Society Meeting (Barlow, Catalan), the North Carolina Astronomers’ Meeting (Hegedus), and the 6th Meeting of Hot Subdwarfs and Related

Objects (Barlow). We are currently putting the finishing touches on a manuscript discussing our results that will include three HPU students as co-authors.

Opportunities to participate in all aspects of astrophysics research, from data collection to the dissemination of results at conferences and through publications, are relatively rare for undergraduate students. We are finding that student participation in the HW Vir project and other astronomy research projects helps set students apart when they apply to summer REU programs and graduate programs. Most notably, Thomas Boudreaux (’19) was accepted to a prestigious research program this past summer held at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), which operates the famous Hubble Space Telescope. He will soon submit a first-author paper on the work he did there to the Astrophysical Journal for peer review. We’ve also had students accepted to nationally-recognized graduate programs in physics and astronomy, including UNC-Chapel Hill, SUNY-Stony Brook, and Georgia State University. With continued access to telescope facilities around the world and stellar undergraduates continuing to enroll in physics, the future of astronomy and astrophysics research at High Point University remains bright.
