One component of our commitment to preparing students for the challenges of the world as it is going to be is experiential opportunities in undergraduate research and creative works. HPU is committed to engaging our students in research and creative work experiences with accomplished faculty who are teacher-scholars and leaders of their disciplines. Our faculty are master educators, accomplished researchers and artisans, and expert clinicians. They are nationally and internationally recognized scholars who are role models for our students.
Sincerely, Daniel Erb, PT, PhD Provost
Whether by working with other scholars and students in the art of music creation, studying historical figures in the past to shed light on modern trends, creating drugs to treat substance use disorders, or collaborating with local non-profit organizations to provide services to the community, being involved in the creation of new knowledge and artistic works, is an exciting and rewarding experience for both students and faculty. Such experiences also inform teaching within the classroom, laboratory, studio and clinic. They also impact society by further advancing science and creative works for the good of all mankind.
As you read the articles regarding research and creative works in this issue, please know that what you are reading about is only a sampling of the work that our faculty contributes to scientific and creative arts disciplines. Also, know that that these faculty are dedicated to the students and mission of High Point University: “….to equip graduates for success and significance by cultivating the values, knowledge, mindset, and skills necessary to thrive in a competitive and rapidly changing world.”

These experiences, coupled with faculty expertise and mentorship, provide for the deepest learning and most impactful experiences for students.
FROM THE PROVOST A MESSAGE
The Webb School of Engineering has a long and brief history. Long in that one of its departments has been in existence for decades, and brief since the school itself was created in 2018 and is barely three-and-a-half years old. Let me start at the beginning, or the middle, and explain. In Fall 2018 I joined High Point University as the founding Dean of Engineering. At the same time as the creation of the School of Engineering, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science was split into two departments: Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science. The Department of Computer Science became the sole department within the School of Engineering, and the Department of Mathematical Sciences remained in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Over the Fall 2018 semester, the curriculum for a Computer Engineering and an Electrical Engineering degree was formulated, SACS approval was sought, university curriculum approval was obtained, and a search was initiated to find a founding chair for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Since the Department of Computer Science was also new, a search for a founding chair in Computer Science was also initiated. Spring 2019 saw successful hires for the chair vacancies, and admissions was busy recruiting students for the engineering programs once SACS approval was granted in late February 2019. A significant renovation of Couch Hall took place in Summer 2019 after the physics,
The purchasing will be completed by the end of 2023 as the first degrees from the engineering programs are awarded. It will then be time to seek ABET accreditation for the engineering and computer science programs. ABET is the accreditation body that accredits engineering, computing, technology, and applied science programs both nationally and internationally. Spring 2020 threw everyone a curve ball with the COVID-19 global pandemic. Like everyone else at High Point University we were disappointed to have to transition to an on-line delivery mode for the final weeks of the Spring 2020 semester, but we were delighted to be back in person, albeit under difficult circumstances, in Fall 2020.
It might be argued that electrical engineering predates the 17th century, as it is then that we start to see developments underpinning what we might now regard as electrical engineering, and it is then that the English term “electricity” is coined. Computer Science traces its origins back to work done on binary numbers in 1702, but realistically it was work by Charles Babbage on his analytical engine in 1810, and computation theory in the 1920’s that define its origins.
Swtiching sircuits in the 1880’s and the first
Much of the 2019-20 academic year was consumed with purchasing equipment to support the two departments within the School of Engineering and their programs.
7www.highpoint.edu biology and chemistry departments moved into the newly completed Wanek School of Natural Sciences
The synergistic relationship between the programs and departments may appear to be based on luck given the brief history of the school described above, but it is actually reflective of the rich history that the disciplines have with each other over the past few centuries.
Fall 2021 saw more changes: the Department of Mathematical Sciences moved from the College of Arts and Sciences to the School of Engineering as the College of Arts and Sciences transitioned to the School of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences. This was also the time that High Point University started the approval and implementation process for the new general education curriculum, which will be delivered for the first time in Fall 2022. The Department of Mathematical Sciences joining the School of Engineering in 2021 makes that department both the youngest and oldest department in the school. It is the youngest from the perspective of membership within the School of Engineering, but the oldest with respect to being the department that has existed for the longest time. It is fair to say that change is the only constant. Now that the school has three departments, 9 programs (majors), a collection of minors and BA degrees, and around 25 faculty, it is feeling like a school that has grown up and matured quickly. The programs are rigorous, challenging, complement each other (e.g., math classes are needed in engineering and computer science, computer science classes are needed in math and engineering, etc.), and are supportive of each other in that students can migrate between programs with relative ease during their first year. The reward for completing one of the degrees within the school is a high-paying career and in a profession that is in demand and likely to be so for the foreseeable future.
The equipment acquisition continues to this day as the engineering program rolls out each academic year in the program.
Two good examples are the student groups known as HPU Minds and the Robotics club. Being student-led groups, with faculty mentors providing guidance, students are also able to put the life-skills they acquire through the liberal arts education they receive at HPU into practice. The students identify and solve the problems, organize the activities, take financial responsibility for the club’s activities including the equipment used, and communicate the activities and successes of the club through outreach and demonstrations.
Examining modern life today, it is easy to see the contributions of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Science. We use cell phones, listen to the radio, watch cable TV, send E-mail, receive text messages, heat food in a microwave, consider purchasing an electric vehicle, look forward to one day owning an autonomous vehicle, wish we could afford to become a space tourist, and so much more on a daily basis. These are all by-products (at least in part) of the efforts of an electrical engineer, computer engineer, or computer scientist. All these products seem to use electricity, involve the use of a computer chip, and are programmed to behave as they do. While the mathematics may not be obvious, it is also essential for all of these scenarios. Mathematics is necessary to design the antennas we need for communications, the ability to handle faults in the system including data collisions within a computer network, the encryption and decryption of sensitive data, and much more. Indeed, life without mathematics, computer science, and electrical and computer engineering would be very different indeed. In fact, life without these disciplines might look a lot like the late 1700’s and early 1800’s the beginning of the industrial revolution.
HPU minds (mentored by Dr. Lloyd Williams) is an interdisciplinary student group involving students from computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, and neural science. They aim to interpret brain waves through a headset and use thought to control a robot. Right now, they are able to turn a lamp on and off using thought. The recently formed robotics club (mentored by Dr. Eve Klopf) is interested in developing robots for outreach into schools to raise
8 The Lighted Lamp | 2022 electronic digital computer in 1939 provide us the genesis of computer engineering as a discipline. Mathematics is the oldest of these disciplines, tracing its origins back to 3000 BCE with the development of algebra and geometry for the purposes of taxation.
Faculty in the Webb School of Engineering continue the rich collaboration between these disciplines. The curriculum in each program leverages course offered in other departments for example all students in the school take a number of mathematics classes, data analytics and statistics students take a programming class and so on. Faculty also collaborate in research projects and share resources across programs. Most importantly faculty mentor students to apply their knowledge and gain hands-on experience.
Today, within the School of Engineering we have nine programs covering electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, data science, data analytics and statistics, actuarial science, mathematics, and mathematical economics. Graduates of these programs are highly sought after and well paid. The US Department of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook (https://www.bls. gov/ooh/) indicates strong anticipated growth in these careers over the next 10 years. Projections indicate that we are not generating enough graduates in these areas to service the needs of the country for the foreseeable future. All this equates to job security and a financially secure future.
Faculty are also active in scholarship and many are internationally known for their work. Faculty have recently applied for grants from NSF and other organizations to support their research and outreach work. Often these grant proposals are collaborative projects involving a number of institutions across the country. The scholarship faculty engage in often also involves undergraduate students and regularly leads to publication with the student authors. Faculty and students have published in journals and conferences such as the American Society on Engineering Educations flagship conference, SIAM Journal of Scientific Computing, Journal of Mathematical Finance, Advances in Engineering and Computing, IEEE Software and many more. This gives students firsthand experience of research and allows them to determine if a graduate degree is the right next step form them. The mentorship faculty provide students in independent studies and research courses regularly sees our students publish at High-PURCS (HPU Research and Creativity Symposium) and be recognized for the quality and originality of their research endeavors. The engagement between faculty and students certainly provides the students with opportunities to put what they learn in a classroom into practice and to push themselves in ways they may not have imagined. This certainly shows that HPU’s small class sizes and strong faculty-student interaction pays off for the students and helps provide the extraordinary education in an inspiring environment with caring people that we are so proud of.

Students often secure financial support for their studies through Presidential scholarships, or through fellowship programs such as the Leadership Fellows Program or the Strickland Women’s LIFT Fellowship.
So why don’t more students choose to pursue these careers? Students are challenged by courses in these programs and, for some, pursuing what they may perceive as an “easier” path equates to less time devoted to study and more to socializing and club activities. 4 years of hard work at college lead to a 40+ year career that is rewarding, engaging, and satisfying. The work is interesting, the work products, or artifacts created, are important because they improve people’s lives or help organizations function better. Graduates from these programs have critical thinking and problem-solving skills, are able to communicate with a wide audience, understand the ethical and social implications of their work, engage in interdisciplinary teamwork, and genuinely desire to make the world a better place because of the work they do. What could be better than that? ❚
Our students are also successful in securing prestigious internships at companies such as PNC Bank, JP Morgan Chase, Department of Justice, NC State Bureau of Investigation, and participating in Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU’s) across the country. REU experiences often serve as an introduction to research and often encourage students to pursue a graduate degree.

10 The Lighted Lamp | 2022 My interest to pursue a career in science was nurtured as a young girl. Growing up in Ghana, I have always felt that I wanted to help the poor and the sick, although I had no clear idea how all that would come about. Even though I grew up in a community where female education was less common and most girls were discouraged from going to school, I was fortunate to be surrounded by parents who were supportive of my education. I was encouraged to pursue my dream owing to my curiosity. There were relatively few females majoring in science and math in high schools. After graduating from an all-girls missionary high school, I got the chance to pursue a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. During my undergraduate studies, I got the opportunity to interact with professors about their scientific data. I was particularly curious about their methodologies and outcomes. Through that experience I came to realize the significance of chemistry in drug development. After completing my BS in Chemistry in 2003 from University of Cape Coast, Ghana, I began thinking about ways I can apply chemistry to directly benefit the public. Thus, when I came to understand what Medicinal Chemistry entailed, I became immediately attracted to the subject. I found out about Medicinal Chemistry as a science/discipline by which one can design and synthesize compounds to treat various ailments. Considering that there are a lot of medicinal plants in the community where I grew up, which are still being used in their crude form with limited advantages, I decided a career in Medicinal Chemistry would be a way in which I could realize my long-held dream of contributing towards the healthcare needs of my people and citizens of this world as a whole. I had the opportunity to move to the United States.
FROMJOURNEYGHANA
Graduate Experience For an immigrant, America offered a different environmental experience and change to a new culture. I was able to transition because of my extrovert nature, great mentors, and family. During my graduate years majoring in Medicinal Chemistry, I had the opportunity to participate in scientific research seminars and conferences, which further increased my interest in becoming a research scientist who would contribute to the medication needs of the sick. Considering the devastating effects of diseases such as HIV AIDS, and other infectious agents on families and communities around the world, and their potential for a wider adverse impact on the global economy, it is important to develop newer drug agents with better efficacy and more tolerable side effects. It is estimated that more than 33 million people are living with AIDS around the globe; and more than 25 million people have died of the virus since 1981. Based on some of these statistics, the need to find newer drug agents is greater than ever. These patients also have suppressed immune systems that make them especially liable to attacks by opportunistic pathogens. Furthermore, these same pathogens have evolved to become resistant to many of our existing drugs – a problem that is particularly serious in the immune-compromised patient population. The urgency of all these problems is also compounded by the recognition that fewer newer agents are introduced each year. Therefore, during my graduate studies, I designed and synthesized compounds which are potent against these opportunistic pathogens and with lower cytotoxicity relative to standard treatment regimens. These opportunistic infections are caused by pathogens that take advantage of a suppressed immune system. I successfully designed and synthesized Cryptolepine analogues as novel agents against AIDSRelated Opportunistic Pathogens. I was among the few selected to participate in INRO (Intramural NIAID Research Opportunities), which is a program sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases (NIAID) that involves underrepresented minority exposure to research areas such as allergy, immunology, and infectious diseases. During the summer of 2008, in the midst of my doctoral studies, I conducted a research internship at NIAID. Working under Dr. Clifton Barry in the Tuberculosis Research Section, Laboratory of Clinical Infectious Diseases, I designed and synthesized Amiclenomycin precursor and analogues as a potential anti-tuberculosis agent as medication discovery to help tuberculosis patients.

After successfully defending my graduate dissertation with acquired interdisciplinary knowledge in the areas of organic chemistry and biology, I decided to further combine chemistry and biological sciences in choosing targets for drug design and development.

Post-Doctoral Experience
One of the published manuscripts in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry was the first study to show the effectiveness of D3R antagonists in treatment of heroin self-administration and suggested an alternative medication strategy to treat heroin addiction compared to the current pharmacotherapeutic treatments methadone and buprenorphine. Follow-up studies with oxycodone-seeking behavior were published in the journal of Neuropharmacology and were featured in Science Magazine. In 2015, I was awarded the NIH Fellows’ Award for Research Excellence (FARE).
Since my arrival at HPU Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy (FWSOP) in 2015, I have used medicinal chemistry and pharmacological tools to discover, design, and synthesize new drug molecules as candidate medications with the potential to treat neuropsychiatric disorders. My lab focuses on development of new pharmacotherapeutics and pharmacological tools to treat and investigate substance abuse disorders (SUDs). As principal investigator, I have published/co-authored peer-reviewed manuscripts based on my independent/ collaborative work and patent application. This patent application disclosed identification of novel compounds useful for treatment of substance use disorders. In recognition of my work, I have served as a reviewer on five NIH grant review study sections, served as a Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) reviewer, been invited to give 7 national/international oral presentations, and received national recognition through the Behavior, Biology, and Chemistry (BBC): Translational Research in Addiction Maharaj Ticku Travel Fellowship for New Investigator Award and the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP) annual meeting travel award. In 2018, I was among the few selected by the Society for Neuroscience for a US congressional tour during which I represented HPU. I presented my research findings and the importance of research funding to members of Congress in Washington, DC.
Life at High Point University
Buiding Internal and External Collaborations
I was fortunate to receive National Institute of Drug Abuse-Intramural Research Program (NIDA-IRP) scientific director’s diversity fellow award. During my post-doctoral training at NIDA-IRP, working under Dr. Amy H. Newman, I designed and synthesized high-affinity ligands selective for the dopamine D3 receptor (D3R). The results from the study were published in peer reviewed journals. Several of these novel ligands displayed high affinity binding at the D3R versus D2 and D4 receptors (D2R, D4R).
Based on my experience at National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA), I have a strong appreciation of the importance of collaboration between chemists, biologists, and behavioral scientists to make new discoveries in addiction research. I understand how translational aspects of addiction research contribute to the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders
Rebekah Placide (class of 2021) was awarded $5000 Gateway Research Fellowship by the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education (AFPE). The AFPE is extremely competitive, so this award was particularly exciting. The fellowship application included a research proposal based on the work that she will continue to conduct in my laboratory. In the future, I plan to continuously engage and support HPU undergraduate, pre-pharmacy and post-pharmacy profession researchers. One simple story nicely illustrates a “teaching moment” in the research laboratory: “I was teaching an undergraduate science student in the lab one day, and a question arose about the meaning of how drug travel in a human blood and then transported to the site of action “receptor”. As a very simple demo, I taught the student on how to formulate a drug molecule from a neutral molecule. He places the formulated drug into a glass of water, and he saw for the first time his salt formulation caused the drug molecule to dissolve in the water. He also saw how the neutral form did not dissolve and therefore would be difficult to dose in a patient. The student smiled, and said “I get it, now”.”
I believe strongly in the value of research engagement with students (undergraduates, professional, graduate, and postdoctoral students). This shows them first-hand the value and applicability of the knowledge they have gained in the classroom. I love mentoring students in my research area. I have been able to conduct my research program with students. I always strive to challenge and support my student researchers. The students at HPU are highly motivated. Every scholarly accomplishment that my lab has achieved has been directly attributable to the incredible dedication of students. Some of my students have been authors on abstract publications or peer-reviewed publication. Most of these students have gotten the opportunity to present their research findings on campus and many have presented off campus as well. Several students have also received national recognition for their research accomplishments. In 2019 and 2022, posters for Sonvia Brown King (class of 2020) and Lindsay Bourn (class of 2024) were selected for travel awards for the Behavior, Biology, and Chemistry (BBC): Translational Research in Addiction, San Antonio, TX. The BBC selection process was based, in part, on students’ descriptions of their scientific research interests and previous experiences in my laboratory.
Conducting research with HPU students
13www.highpoint.edu such as drug addiction. At HPU, I have been building a strong independent research program with ambitious plans to continue cultivating collaborative research partnerships, seek extramural funding, mentor students, and push the boundaries of medicinal chemistry and medications development with researchers at the forefront of the addiction field. Hence, I have built excellent collaborations internally at HPU and externally. I have built an impressive list of external research collaborators at NIDA, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Maryland, UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University, Rowan University, and others.
During the summer I organize women in science career pathway for young, underrepresented African-American and Hispanic girls between the ages of 13 and 17 from the Piedmont Triad Area. These girls spend a day on the HPU campus to learn about science and career opportunities. I also offer mentorship and research opportunities for students at T. Wingate Andrews High School within High Point’s under-represented community. Giving Back to the community I am an American Chemical Society Summer Experience for the Economically Disadvantaged (SEED) high school student’s research coordinator. I have always reached out to a local High School to discuss my passion in mentoring and offering research opportunities to underrepresented minorities in science. As a result of my active involvement with some of the students at the school in the city of High Point, they have gone on to join my research, by applying to a competitive grant from ACS SEED program. I was awarded a stipend to assist these students with food and transportation to university research labs. My goal is to provide mentoring research opportunity and be a role model for underrepresented minority students that shows them the scope of chemistry in their everyday lives and career
The HPU FWSOP has very good representation of both female and minority students. Ninety percent of the students who have worked in my group have been women. This is cause for celebration, as there were no female chemistry professors during my undergraduate education in Ghana and my graduate school had few female pharmaceutical science professors. Students have always approached or reached out to me to thank me for serving as a strong female role model for them.
14 The Lighted Lamp | 2022
As an underrepresented minority woman, I serve as a role model for other young women and minority students aspiring to have a career in science. I am a first generation in my family to obtain a doctoral degree.
Training the Next Generation of Women and Underrepresented Minorities in Science
While mentoring students, I recognize the importance work-life balance. I work hard at maintaining the right balance between work life (teaching lectures on medicinal chemistry principles, neuroscience, anti-infectives, natural products, conducting research with publication in peer-reviewed journals, and service commitments at HPU and national) and home life (being a mother and wife).
On a typical day, I might drop off my young children at school, lecture on medicinal chemistry, write a grant application, meet with students in a neuroscience discussion, conduct research, serve on a university committee, and then return to my family at the end of the day. Hence, I work to show my students that the skills they develop now will help them across-the-board in the future, allowing them to balance commitments to their career with their obligations to family, friends, and communities.
15www.highpoint.edu in science. I have often reached out to my department members, and they eagerly agree to participate. The faculty spend time with the students by teaching/explaining their research areas. The students are always grateful for the opportunity that they would never otherwise have. I have also assisted or helped with their college applications and submitted recommendation letters on their behalf. I am very pleased to report that through this program, some of the high school students have been accepted into college to major in science. For example, Ryann McMasters was accepted into prepharmacy program Fall 2021. I am excited to continue this outreach program and particularly those targeted to low performing, high minority high schools with an emphasis on underrepresented minority in science. My journey as an underrepresented minority woman scientist has been made possible through dedication, hard work and perseverance. As a role model for young women and minority scientists, I encourage the young generation to not look down upon themselves and always believe in themselves.
And a Focus for the Future I have been fortunate in that recent external funding from several granting agencies provides financial resources to continue my project into future years. But it is clear that money is not the only requirement for success. The facilities and equipment available in the Fred Wilson School of Pharmacy are outstanding. My fellow faculty colleagues are a daily inspiration to push the boundaries of our understanding of the human body. I love my students, and together we will push on those boundaries. Today, we hypothesize that drugs which interact with dopamine receptors, specifically D4R, will be useful in treatment of cocaine addiction. Tomorrow, we put those hypotheses to the test. The readers of this essay can join me in dreaming of that future time when a compound discovered in my lab at HPU will sit inside a pill that will taken by a person searching for healing –rather than searching for that next a snort of cocaine. As we study the human mind, I don’t know exactly where the road ahead leads, but I can’t wait to find out. ❚

The mission of the High Point University Department of Music is “to provide a collaborative environment for creative investigation and innovation, in which students develop professional and technical skills with a global vision for the significance of music in their lives, their communities, and the world.”
CRAFTSMAN, ANDCOLLABORATOR,THETHECREATOR
Dr. Scott MacLeod Associate Professor of Music
We teach music because we feel that music is essential to a life well-lived; that music enables us to examine the fundamental human needs of communication, empathy, and mutual understanding. We believe that by teaching students to be thoughtful, personable, and imaginative, we are training our young scholars to be nimble in an ever-changing world, to effect positive changes in their communities, and to apply a mindset of creativity and problem-solving to any complex situation they encounter. HPU Music faculty draw upon their own professional experiences to help students to identify that individual cross section of passion, competence, service, and marketability that will allow them to leave college not only enriched intellectually and spiritually, but empowered with life skills that prepare them for a variety of meaningful careers and interests.
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.
16 The Lighted Lamp | 2022 People engage in music because they have an inner yearning to cooperate with others to produce a result that is more powerful, more special, more mysterious than anything they can generate as individuals. They practice music because, at a certain point in their study, their pedagogical mastery allows for a deep connection to the repertoire and performance that surpasses the technical and touches upon the spiritual. There is excitement in achieving that magical place, and in knowing that others are thrilled by it as well. And when we live in a universe where “there is nothing new under the sun,” the joy of creating something original and watching it resonate with others is an indescribably glorious feeling. These elements make up the musician, and influence her in myriad ways beyond the practice room or concert stage. We can label and personify these complimentary characteristics of music scholarship as the craftsman, the collaborator, and the creator.
The musician learns to create through the process of re-creation, and this process of re-creation, in tandem with careful instruction, leads to refinement of technique. Mastery of technique, combined with thorough knowledge of performance practices and traditions, enables the expertise necessary to forge a professional musical career as a soloist or member of an ensemble.
THE CRAFTSMAN Music study begins with learning a common set of notation and vocabulary that allows us to communicate effectively – notes, rhythms, structure, meter, key signature, tempo, dynamics, etc. And just as with any introduction to a new language, early music study focuses largely on imitation. Although taste is subjective, musicians maintain a common aesthetic baseline that allows for a determination of what is beautiful and what is cacophonous. Alongside imitation comes replication – practice, rehearsals, exercises.
The North Carolina Brass Band is modeled after brass ensembles that originated in Industrial Revolution-era England. The ensemble performs an independent concert series and receives invitations to festivals and celebrations such as the Best of Our State Festival and the Great American Brass Band Festival. The North Carolina Brass Band also recorded two professionally mastered albums, First in Flight and Christmas Wrapped in Brass. They provide music for major HPU events including veteran’s day services, convocation, and commencement. By calling upon existing skill sets and recognizing opportunities for leadership and career development, Dr. Meixner models lifelong learning, entrepreneurship, and growth mindset to his students.
Music is primarily an aural discipline. It requires an ability to not only hear the other elements in the room, but to truly listen and respond. Listening and communication are essential for balance, precision, and intonation. At its core, music

Associate Professor of Music Dr. Brian Meixner is a master of his craft. Already an accomplished euphonium player, he identified a regional demand and availability for a professional brass band. Utilizing his knowledge and experience as a solo performer, and his relationships in the brass community, he created the North Carolina Brass Band, one of only a handful of professional brass bands in the United States.
A musician’s creative process is usually centered around inspiration derived from another’s realizations of a musical score.

It is a mistake to think that the practice of my art has become easy to me. I assure you, dear friend, no one has given so much care to the study of composition as I. There is scarcely a famous master in music whose works I have not frequently and diligently studied.

Dr. Meixner’s North Carolina Brass Band is an example of scholarship that demonstrates the music department’s dedication to instruction informed by history and tradition. We celebrate Mozart and Beethoven because we continue to allow ourselves to experience their compositions through new interpretations, and we rejoice in the familiarity of their works and our ability to increasingly recognize the nuances within them. There is great importance in understanding the mechanics and execution of a masterwork, and a nobility in finding new ways to interpret and explore that which already exists. Understanding musical traditions provides the foundation for innovation. By studying and performing compositions from the past, we prepare ourselves for the future.

THE COLLABORATOR
18 The Lighted Lamp | 2022 is a collaborative art form. Musicians must learn to determine when their role is one of leadership and when they must play a secondary role to support a melody or prominent musical line. Some idioms, such as jazz, require real-time analysis, response, and prediction to create a soundscape that is harmonious yet continually adaptive and experimental. Whether in a symphony, a recital, or a staged work, musicians must work together to create a product that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Dr. Burrows uses her experience as a stage performer and collaborator to help students create capstone projects that usually result in 50-minute collaborative recitals. Dr. Burrows’ thorough knowledge of repertoire and performance practice allows her to assist students in choosing repertoire that is suitable for their range and abilities, and also to research composers, poetry, period, and style. She instructs her students to thoroughly study the accompaniment to be able to better understand the musical framework and respond accordingly, and to communicate intentions such as tempo, dynamics, and text emphasis to their accompanists. She also helps them to apply scholarship that they gained from other subjects to inform their preparation and research of the musical material, and to draw connections between disciplines whenever possible.
HPU Music Instructor Dr. Candice Burrows possesses a lengthy resume that attests to her expertise as a collaborator. Her background as a jazz artist taught her skills such as musical and theatrical expression, keen understanding of ensemble, and improvisation. She gained a great deal of success in the music industry that led to collaborations with master conductors such as Seiji Ozawa, Helmuth Rilling, Marin Alsop, John Williams, Gunther Schuller and Leonard Bernstein, with whom she toured through Europe and Russia for his 70th birthday gala year. She also earned much acclaim as a concert recitalist.
Senior capstone recitals allow for exploration of a breadth of ideas and concepts, and prepare students with tools that can translate into multiple careers. Dr. Burrows’ instruction and pedagogy reinforces this sense of collaboration and instills within students a sense of purpose, self-awareness, cooperation, and character that allows them to thrive in any setting that is dependent on interpersonal connection.
My own musical career began with classical training and performance of traditional repertoire. My undergraduate and graduate opera performances were mostly the well-known warhorses – “La Bohème,” “Don Giovanni,” “Cosí fan tutte,” “Gianni Schicchi,” among others. I had a few opportunities to perform modern compositions in my early studies, but it was essential that I study the masterworks to develop a thorough understanding
The collaborative artist is trained to listen, respond thoughtfully and appropriately, and make decisions in real time that benefit the larger ensemble or musical partner. In many ways, the process of creating and performing a senior recital is similar to project management in a corporate setting. Successful performances rely on independence, problem solving, compromise, adaption, innovation, and meeting deadlines.

I still find satisfaction in performing standard repertoire, and I love my role as chorus master for North Carolina Opera, a post I have maintained since 2013. But I also have a real affinity for new works and experimental pieces, and I have had the opportunity to participate in several world premieres. Some of my favorite past performing experiences include Lee Hyla’s “Wilson’s Ivory Bill,” an ornithological soliloquy arranged for baritone, piano, and field recording of an extinct woodpecker; Patrick Morganelli’s “Hercules vs. Vampires,” an operatic underscoring of the 1961 Italian cult-classic film “Hercules in the Underworld;” and Luigi Dallapiccola’s “Il Prigioniero,” a 12-tone serialist exploration of existential crisis that had me crawling shirtless across a catwalk 25 feet above the stage. In April 2022, I oversaw the production of the world premiere of “Galaxies In Her Eyes,” a 50-minute opera that was performed in the Culp Planetarium. The opera was the first ever conceived for a planetarium in 425 years of opera history – truly a unique creation. This achievement was the product of nearly two years of work by astronomer and planetarium director Dr. Brad Barlow and myself, a nationally recognized artistic team, professional singers, and the WinstonSalem Symphony. The opera’s characters were patterned after leading female figures in astronomy – Ada Lovelace, Annie Jump Cannon, and Katherine Johnson. HPU students and faculty workshopped the opera under my supervision in spring 2021 and their efforts produced the prototype that supported the transition from concept to professional debut. The project allowed for an innovative intersection of music, astronomy, history, mixed media, unconventional performance space, and original composition. In addition to celebrating unsung pioneers in astronomy, providing an informative and entertaining performance for the public, and cementing its place in history as the first opera conceived for a planetarium, “Galaxies In Her Eyes” gave HPU students the ability to experience the creative process of producing an original work, as well as interacting and collaborating with seasoned Theprofessionals.industryHPUDepartment of Music seeks not only to train musicians, but to harness the creative potential that will allow every student to become an innovator. We want to kindle that inner fire that will enable our students to seek and celebrate the joy of artistic discovery. We affirm that our students must learn a common currency of expression through classical training, but our hope is that one day our students can experience the wonder of looking at the world anew through the act of original creation. Music is about relationships. It is about human connection. Performing in a choir, band, or orchestra is equivalent to creating deep, meaningful, intimate bonds. It is about listening to one another, about responding appropriately and effectively, about the joy of collaboration. It is about reversing time and seeing the world through the eyes of a child, before our understanding of the world was clouded by data and systems and logic. It is about attempting to fill the bottomless well of human curiosity, to perhaps sneak a glimpse of the human soul. To engage in music is to contemplate awe. Whether as craftsmen, collaborators, or creators, HPU music students learn more than musical skills; they learn to see the world through the eyes of an artist. ❚

Modern British Royals are constant fodder for tabloids, and not just in the United Kingdom. While the idea of tabloids and the celebrity nature of the royals may seem new, given the ubiquitous presence of photo and video media, the modern royals are not unique in their often negative and sometimes unfounded treatment in the press. Most of my research focuses on the ways in which English/British Reformation theology was transmitted to the masses in the popular media of that age. This interest, I believe, stems from the fact we believe we live in a world quite distant from the past. We have media at our fingertips in any given moment; we live in a world where terms like “influencer” and “fake news” have become the norm. Yet, what history can show us is that we are not living in an entirely new world. Using media to influence people’s views, especially in regards to politics, has been a “norm” for centuries. The 1600s in particular saw a major turning point in media usage. The emerging merchant and urban middle-classes harnessed their ownership of printshops to use newspapers and pamphlets for their own interests: challenging authority and gaining political rights. In seventeenth-century British history,
Parliament turned Henrietta Maria into a media queen and an “influencer” of sorts, although not by her own design or in a positive light. As with some modern royals and political figures her characterization was negative and salacious. However, unlike the modern tabloids whose ultimate goal with such
TABLOID QUEEN OR LEADER OF THE ENGLISH CIVIL WARS?
MARIA:HENRIETTA
20 The Lighted Lamp | 2022
Henrietta Maria’s negative image was to “sell” Parliament’s armed conflict against her husband, King Charles I. The news around her was manipulated and edited to malign her, and more importantly Charles I, in the eyes of the British populace. Parliament needed public support and justification for its cause. For Parliament this war of words was just as important as the military campaign. Of all seventeenth-century British Consorts, Henrietta Maria is the most dominant in historical scholarship. Yet the ways in which she has been and is currently portrayed are varied and still greatly lacking. Her husband’s reign from 1625 to 1649 is one of the most researched Early Modern British reigns, but Henrietta Maria herself is often not discussed. The focus has been on the king because he, of course, was the one with the legal power and the first king to be condemned by “the people.” In the past two decades, however, more British historians have been reconsidering the role of queen consorts, especially Henrietta Maria. Nonetheless, even this new approach does Henrietta Maria a disservice. Her modern biographers highlight her education, strong relationship with her husband and children, and her leading patronage or influence of the arts. Missing from these discussions are her active role during the Civil Wars. Her biographers note Charles turned to her for advice, but this is often countered by downplaying how much influence her advice had on Charles’s policies. This approach also takes away from a full picture of Henrietta Maria, just as those who focus mainly on Charles have done previously. For some quick context to frame this essay, in the 1630s Charles began to provoke Parliament’s ire, as he did not annually call upon Parliament for aid or advice from 1629 to 1640. At this time, Parliament was only called at a king’s discretion and only had legal right to levy taxes. In the preceding century the Tudors had established a regular custom of calling upon Parliament annually and to set legal procedures beyond taxation. Thus, while he was within his rights not to call Parliament, Charles was eschewing longheld customs and alienated many leading Parliamentarians in the process. In the late 1630s, Charles began fighting with some of his Scottish citizens and as the campaign continued his need for taxes grew. But he refrained from calling Parliament until all other sources of income proved fruitless. This was the true nature of the tension between Charles and Parliament. Parliament began to highlight Henrietta Maria as a prime reason for this tension.

Why was this? It was politically safer to attack Charles indirectly by directly vilifying Henrietta Maria. For the most part, Parliament wanted to work with Charles as it gained power and therefore could not directly insult him for fear of burning bridges. Parliament targeted Henrietta Maria because she represented much of what was not “proper” British identity in Parliamentarians’ views at the time. She was French, Catholic, and “just a wife.” Britain, specifically England, and France had a longstanding rivalry that even a royal marriage could not solve in the public’s eyes. Britain had also become a powerful Protestant nation as a result of the preceding century’s religious turmoil. This became a major mark of British national identity by Charles’s reign. Additionally, the social and family order in Stuart Britain was a patriarchal world. The father was head of his household and all those within it, clearly placing his wife below him. It was also believed the family was a small representation of the British monarchy. The king was the “father” of his country. Thus, Charles was meant to be the perfect king in charge of his people just as he, and all men, were meant to be the perfect husbands in charge of their wives and children. If the perfect family model were to fail, then the political model too would fail, and vice-versa. In taking advice from his consort, which he did, he was not only overturning his role as

22 The Lighted Lamp | 2022 head of household but also as king. This line of thought dominated the media of the age. Weekly newspapers and political pamphlets repeatedly printed copies of letters between Charles and Henrietta Maria, as well as accounts from “eye-witnesses” who had intimate knowledge of Charles submitting to his wife. Seemingly, the king was turning to his French, Catholic wife to rule Britain. This was why Parliament, they asserted, needed to fight and, eventually, condemn the king. With this context in mind, it is clear Henrietta Maria’s involvement in the English Civil Wars cannot be downplayed. The remainder of this essay will cite a few examples of Henrietta Maria’s negative media perception and its impact on the English Civil Wars and Charles’s execution.
In 1642 the attacks against the queen escalated as the Civil Wars began. Henrietta Maria had left England for Holland, much for her safety. Parliament, however, saw this as a threat, as an attempt to drum up support for Charles abroad. Miles Burlacey wrote to a friend in London in a letter published alongside letters between Henrietta Maria and her brother, the King of France, I could wish England were as quiet, and in so good a posture of defense; but that cannot be, so long as the Queen is so great an enemy to it, for she says she will be revenged, and told M. Strickland that Ambassador from the Parliament, that there should never be quiet in England so long as liberty and conscience was not given to the Catholics. Her Majesty is merry, and by no means would have the King yield to the Parliament upon any condition.1
Another 1642 letter expressed the same concern over Henrietta Maria’s ability to procure arms against Parliament. It begins, “[the ships] lie ready with Ammunition for the Queen, and it is not yet certainly known where they are bound; we fear the report of the good success of the Parliaments Forces in the North, may make them go for the West: and so it is here supposed there is great need of Ships to be ranging about the Seas to attend this bloody Fleet.”2 For the author of this letter it was clear the ships were the Queen’s and were meant to challenge Parliament. There was no mention of Charles, stressing that the Queen was overstepping her position in military and political issues. Also, rather than attempt to reconcile Charles and Parliament, this letter pitted Henrietta Maria directly against Parliament.

23www.highpoint.edu In 1644 one of the strongest Parliamentarian tracts was published: The great eclipse of the sun, or, Charles his waine over-clouded, by the evill influences of the moon, the malignancie of ill-aspected planets, and the constellations of retrograde and irregular starres. Throughout the short pamphlet Henrietta Maria was vilified for overstepping her role as Consort and subservient wife in a Protestant nation. The author writes that Charles had been ruled by his little Queen Mary, for this was no Idolatry, but the way to increase his Royall off-spring, and Progeny, whereupon the King being in full Conjunction with this Popish Planet, the Queen, he was totally Eclipsed by her Counsel, who under the Royal Curtains, persuaded him to advance the Plots of the Catholics, under the color of maintaining the Protestant Religion. Ordinary women, can in the Night time persuade their husbands to give them new Gowns or Petticoats, and make them grant their desire; and could not Catholic Queen Mary (think you) by her night discourses, incline the King to Popery?3 Here it was explicitly stated that she was the true authority in their marriage and, by extension, the government. Further, the author connected his view of this negative subversion of the natural order with Henrietta Maria’s negative female wiles. Henrietta Maria used her position as Charles’s wife and lover to control him and achieve her Catholic aspirations. This was no longer just a critique on Henrietta but also a critique of the king’s masculinity. A king needed to be strong, but this pamphlet presented him otherwise. Thus, this one tract all about Henrietta Maria shows Early Modern Britain’s extreme concern with the intersection of gender, religion, and power.

While these examples show the growing fears in Parliament, 1645 seemed to prove these fears. After the Battle of Naseby, the first major collectionWars,pointvictoryParliamentarianandturningintheCivilalargeofletters between Charles and Henrietta Maria (seized at the battle site) were edited and published as The King’s Cabinet Opened. The greatly edited collection was meant to be definitive proof that it was Henrietta Maria who was ruling the country, the reason Britain was in the throes of Civil War, and why Parliament needed to continue to fight Charles. It also became a best-selling collection and featured greatly in continued media attacks against Henrietta Maria between 1645 and 1649. In the introduction the editors expressed why they felt called to publish the letters: nor dare we smother this light under a Bushel, but freely hold it to our seduced brethren...They may see here in his private letters what affection the King bears to his people, what language and titles he bestows upon his great Counsel; which we return not again, but consider with sorrow, that it comes from a Prince seduced out of his proper sphere.4
In this short excerpt it is clear Charles was communicating all his dealings with Parliament to Henrietta Maria: he sought her advice on these matters and she offered it. Further, knowing such advice would upset Parliament, Henrietta Maria instructed Charles not to divulge the counsel. For the anti-Royalists claiming Henrietta Maria’s evil counsel was offered in a manipulative, secretive manner, this letter was excellent proof and future propaganda for Parliament’s cause.
Charles’ letters also provided proof: I have thought of one means more to furnish you for my assistance, then hitherto you have had: It is that I give you power to promise in my name (to whom you think most fit) that I will take away all the penal laws against the Roman Catholics in England as soon as God shall enable me to do it; so as by their means, or in their favors, I may have so powerful assistance as may deserve so great a favor, and enable me to do it...I need not tell you what secrecy this business requires.6
24 The Lighted Lamp | 2022
Charles gave Henrietta Maria his royal authority to secure more support against Protestant Parliament, specifically from Catholics. Thus, he elevated her to a position beyond that of her legal Consort role. All of this connected with the other Parliamentarian fear: losing Protestant England. The King’s Cabinet Opened also opened a political goldmine for other media sources. Parliamentarian newspapers and pamphleteers constantly republished the letters with in-depth commentary related to the continued political and military upheaval in WhatBritain.ismost intriguing is that the attacks against Henrietta Maria did not stop when Parliament prevailed. Charles was executed 30 January 1649 and Parliament set out to create a Commonwealth government, yet Henrietta Maria was still not free of negative press. Justifying Charles’s death, political writer and future well-known poet, John Milton wrote Eikonoklastes. Why was Charles’s death justified?, Milton asked. His answer was that Charles had given too much power to his wife. Charles gave, all virtue to his Wife… How fit to govern men, undervaluing and aspersing the great Counsel of his Kingdom, in comparison of one Woman. Examples are not far to seek, how great mischief and dishonor has befallen to Nation under the Government of…Uxorious Magistrates. Who being themselves governed and over-swayed

6Charles I to Henrietta Maria, 5 March 1645, Kings Cabinet Opened, 7-8.
Thus, in this short exploration of a much larger research project of mine, it is clear Henrietta Maria was an important media device for Parliament during the English Civil Wars. She became the central reason why Parliament needed to fight and, eventually, overthrow their king, or at least that was what Parliament convinced the public was the reason. Through attacking the Queen Consort, Parliament was able to challenge Charles indirectly. In the early years, Parliament had no intention of overthrowing Charles but, rather, wanted compromise. Attacking the king in the media was not advantageous to the cause while there was still hope of working together. She, then, became the safer and easier option for attack. Henrietta Maria’s background, French and Catholic, was already unpopular in seventeenth-century England. Her willingness to get involved in politics and advise her husband challenged the era’s societal expectations of women and consorts. Despite the fact she was not the actual reason Parliament was fighting Charles, Parliament understood she could be turned into a common enemy between them and the public in order to garner support for their cause. It worked. This war of words was extremely successful. The Parliamentarians out-published Charles’s writings in the newspapers, broadsheets, and pamphlets throughout 1640s. The people, therefore, were exposed repeatedly to Parliament’s supposed reason for war: Henrietta Maria. In research beyond the scope of this essay, it is clear that as Parliament increased this writing campaign against her, so did their support from the public to further fund the military campaign.

This research highlights the importance Henrietta Maria held in shaping politics in an age that asserted women should hold no power. By repeatedly denouncing her authority and making her a media super-star, ironically Parliament gave her incredible value, even if it was used against her own position. These tactics also mirror tactics found today. Current media sources pick and choose which angles to detail in reports. Likes and shares dictate what videos “go viral” regardless of the truth or validity of the content. While we have increased access to a variety of sources and ideas, not all content is equally shared and promoted. Despite our new modern media, the directed use of media to sway public opinion is exactly the same as in 1640s England. In light of all this, then, it is evident Henrietta Maria’s story warrants further attention. She should be studied equally alongside her husband and Parliament because she indeed did shape the politics of the age and highlighted the potential for media to sway public opinion, even if not as she intended. ❚ THIS

THE BEGINNING: HPU Service Learning and a New Collaboration
When my own opportunity to become trained in Service Learning presented itself, I jumped at the opportunity, and I was trained within my first year by Dr. Cara Kozma and Rev. Dr. Joe Blosser. In my second year at HPU, I was able to offer a section of Community Writing, an upper-level English course frequently taken by students also minoring in Public and Professional Writing. The section, partnered with the Community Writing Center and helped further the aims of the center through the creation or revision of professional documents such as grant boilerplate text, a revised website, flyers, brochures, logos, and other professionally written and designed documents, was a great success, and the course served as a wonderful introduction to all the good I could do in the High Point community alongside HPU’s bright and altruistic students.

THCD was first driven has an impressive mission and impact. A 501(c)3 non-profit organization headquartered in Greensboro, NC, THCD builds tiny homes for veterans and people experiencing homelessness, among other supportive community programs.
And, perhaps most importantly, we have helped to change lives in the Triad area by collaborating with the THCD program on tiny house builds, furthering the aims of the program through professional and technical documents, and helping the organization with grant funds, today totaling more than $12,000 (and growing).
The organization began from a humble collaboration between Mark Stinson, who had formerly experienced homelessness for years before learning construction trades and rehabilitating his life, and Scott Jones, a former Army National Guard serviceperson and fire engineer-turnedconstruction contractor. After meeting at a local church, the two merged their ideas for using their construction know-how to help those experiencing homelessness as well as veterans in need of stable housing. They decided they would build tiny homes, which fulfill nearly all the needs one may have in a home—but with a much lower footprint (most homes are less than 500 square feet) and lower construction costs. After building a prototype, and after slowly gaining community and volunteer support, Stinson During these 12 weeks, we have the perfect opportunity to provide case management, life skills, and more importantly job skills that will enable our clients to become more confident at maintaining housing and a more enriched, self-sustaining life.

THCD’s first tiny home community, Hammer Tiny House Community, was completed in late 2019 with 6 homes, ranging from 180 to 288 square feet in size. The community, which is now at full occupancy, includes 2 veterans of the U.S. armed forces and also includes a community garden and ongoing resident support. JM Green Tiny House Community, another community in High Point, includes 10 houses, with 4 homes occupied by veterans. In 2022, THCD plans to start on a community fully housed with veterans on Smith Street in High Point. At this site, 8 homes of various sizes will welcome residents, and a 1927-built home is being restored as a Veterans Community Center. Homes in these communities are all less than 500 square feet in size. THCD tiny homes are sponsored by local companies and organizations, and most labor for the homes is provided by community and organizational volunteers. Additionally, the organization has been working on a new, 12-week construction workforce development program. In this program clients experiencing homelessness, as well as other interested Triad community members, can learn construction trade skills on-the-job while building tiny homes and other THCD builds, such as chicken coops and garden boxes.

THCD’s long-term goal is to expand into High Point with mobile foam drop-off sites. Members of the THCD workforce development program can help run the foam densifier that produces ingots that will later be used to make picture frames and molding. In addition to its community projects, workforce development program, and foam recycling program, THCD also runs a Saturday morning “Breakfast 4 Our Friends” program. Every Saturday morning, from 7:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., anyone who wants breakfast may enjoy a hot meal, served at the Davie street parking deck, lower level, across from Center City Park in Greensboro. Breakfast 4 Our Friends is staffed by volunteers and includes breakfast items such as breakfast burritos or hash-brown casseroles while donuts, coffee, juice, and other breakfast foods and drinks are often donated by local businesses or individuals. Jones says, “A portion of the mission of [TCHD] is to encourage positive community engagement and foster a welcoming environment.
29www.highpoint.edu in need, to those who are hungry, is a small step to that welcoming environment.” After learning about the organization and all of its growing programs, and understanding the multiple ways HPU students partner with the organizationthe organization, I knew THCD would be the perfect fit for my upcoming Technical Writing course.
A PARTNERSHIP BEGINS: “Tiny Houses and Technical Writing” In the Spring 2019 semester, I was slated to offer HPU’s first section of Technical Writing. Since it was a new course, I wanted to utilize a client-based service model to help HPU students immediately understand the real impacts of technical and professional documents. THCD was also an exciting client to pair with because tiny houses have grown immensely in popularity over the last decade, in part due to people desiring smaller, more affordable housing as well as growing coverage in the media on networks such as HGTV. Beyond growing their technical writing skills, many students in the class were thrilled to learn a bit about what it takes to build a tiny home. We began our partnership with the THCD program. “Tiny Houses and Technical Writing” served THCD by assisting with builds while also learning core technical communication genres and producing new documentation and guidance. The students were asked to engage in a “layered servicelearning approach.” In this model, students engage both in direct service, in which they work directly with the clients an organization serves, and project-based service, in which they focus primarily on end products for use by an organization to meet its goals (Cress, Collier, & Reitenauer 2013). By engaging with an organization that services community and social needs, we were also able to discuss issues surrounding social justice, housing and educational equity, and the importance of service in education. These conversations allowed us to look beyond technical components of documents and their design and avoid ignoring “the greater social context and ramifications of their work” (Cardella, Zoltowski, and Oakes 2012, 11), thereby developing a better understanding of how people are impacted by our document design decisions and the great social impacts. Service learning enhances every academic field of study, and technical communication is no exception. Technical writing classes that include a civic and community engagement component have the potential to showcase the range of technical communication programs, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, grow ethical and critical thinking skills, and serve the local community
The students, in the end, were thrilled with the collaboration: there was pride in knowing they had helped this organization with which they had become deeply connected, a newfound understanding of with several processes in the construction trade, and a marked growth in their ability to work as a team to research, write, and design effective technical and professional documents. In addition, each student in the class was asked to present a poster at HPU’s High-PURCs annual conference at the end of the semester, gaining valuable conference presentation experience and addition to their resume.

As a class, we conducted site visits, together visiting THCD’s indoor facility and learning more about the organization and its needs. On our first client visit, we also learned how to don proper job site protective equipment, such as helmets and goggles, and we assisted with the build of a tiny house frame in-progress. Stinson and Jones also came to visit our class. In that meeting, they expressed the need for revised and new documents aimed to help promote and grow the program, train program volunteers, and assist with obtaining grants that would help THCD continue to fulfill its mission. In classes, we studied genres of technical writing, and we practiced several key components of technical writing and document design, including optimal document format, arrangement, and style, chunking, highlighting, and prioritization of information, the effective use of headings and subheadings, reducing jargon and making information more concise, and building in intentional redundancies to enhance reader recall in instructional documents. By the end of the term, the class worked in collaboration with THCD to create two new instructional brochures, a career readiness program training guidebook/ manual and brochure, several program fliers, and a volunteer programs brochure.
For the THCD organization, the collaboration with our HPU class yielded tangible outcomes. In April 2019, it competed in Future Fund 10, a local grant competition. As part of the competition, THCD utilized several of the class documents at its booths and in its
For Hannah Nemanic, a 2022 graduating senior and former student in the class, there was also an opportunity to become deeply involved in the community and witness some of the work she might do as a future attorney. Hannah observes, “It was very eye-opening to be regularly exposed to people who are not as fortunate. As part of this class, I was exposed to situations that I haven’t experienced in my own life. I was also able to really see what’s happening in the High Point community and get involved in changing things that might need help. As someone who wants to go to law school and become a lawyer, I am likely to be in these settings again, and this class was really helpful in preparing me in so many ways.”

The organization ended up placing second in the competition, winning a $12,000 grant to help further grow its programs. For any non-profit organization, every dollar counts, and the $12,000 has gone a long way to help THCD help those who may need a hand in the Triad community. Jones says, “...the $12,000 will be used for our career readiness training program, and we’re grateful for HPU’s help with these documents this year and in many years to come.”
Looking to Our Future Today, HPU, and, in particular, the English department, continues to work with the THCD organization whenever possible. In the Spring 2022 semester, ENG 3120, Proposal Writing, led by Dr. Cara Kozma, is working with the organization, once again providing weekly service and, in class, working on grant proposals that the organization will be able to use to apply to current and future grant opportunities. The students in the class are also learning valuable skills in servicelearning, grant writing, and responding to requests for proposals. In 2022, THCD hopes to expand into a community that will feature small homes, up to three bedrooms in size, built alongside Habitat for Humanity and offered to community members at low cost, with manageable mortgages perfect for a lowincome family, college student, or individual just starting out. The organization hopes to continue its partnerships with HPU classes, particularly our English and Public and Professional Writing courses. For Hannah, senior who graduated in 2022, she reflects on how the “Tiny Houses and Technical Writing” course helped her to see the sense of confidence and community that a home can bring to a person’s life and how she feels inspired to continue service work beyond her time at HPU. Hannah says, “Our experience with THCD helped me really see how a home represents a fresh start and gives people a sense of pride. I hope I can continue work like this in the future: bringing the community together for a common goal.” ❚
THE PARTNERSHIP CONTINUES:
