“I have learned a lot in the Office of Admissions, and I am ready and excited about this opportunity,” McMillan said. “I am looking forward to working with the New Student Orientation Committee. This is a very professional and dedicated group.”

McMillan said he has several goals for the new office, including greater involvement of the local business community in welcoming new students to campus.

“Orientation is an important opportunity for the University and the community to tell their story, and orientation should be entertaining and add something positive to the total student experience” he said. “I would like to see us provide the best orientation program in North Carolina.”

McMillan is a Red Springs native and graduate of Red Springs High School. After a stint in the Army, he completed work on a Bachelor of Science degree from UNCP.

“At the end of February, I will travel to Salem and meet with this group and a design team to continue the planning process,” Dr. Valenti said. “Among my contributions to plans for the museum will be curriculum materials on ‘The Scarlet Letter’ that will be made available to teachers who will use the museum as a resource.”

Dr. Valenti published, “To Myself a Stranger: A Biography of Rose Hawthorne Lathrop,” (LSU Press) in 1991. She was asked to give a public lecture in Salem on Hawthorne's daughter on February 26, 2003.

The first volume of Dr. Valenti’s biography of Nathaniel Hawthorne’'s wife, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, entitled “A Life, Volume I through 1847,” will be published this spring by the University of Missouri Press. During the 2001-2002 academic year, Dr. Valenti was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities for a year-long research grant to write the book.

Heather Lowry Jacobs graduates from Duke

DURHAM -- Heather Lowry Jacobs, daughter of UC Game Room supervisor Beverly Lowry, graduated from Duke University December 13 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.

It is the second degree for Jacobs, who earned a Bachelor of Science degree from UNCP in 2001 while majoring in biology with a molecular science concentration. Jacobs had a 3.96 GPA in the special 16-month Duke program. She was also inducted into Sigma Theta Tau, a nursing honor society, and earned 15 credits towards a graduate nursing degree.

Jacobs is employed by Duke University Medical Center in the hematology/oncology unit and plans to begin work on an advanced degree within the year. She credits her professors at UNCP for her success.

“UNCP was a great experience and a growing experience,” she said. “My professors were very hard.”

Jacobs says she misses the peace and quiet of Pembroke, but enjoys shopping in the Triangle and Duke basketball. She had a message for her mother too. “Parents are important. I tell my Mom all the time that I appreciate what she did for me,” Jacobs said.

She is married to Gregory Jacobs, a 2002 UNCP graduate and an employee of the State Employees Credit Union.

Business Dean in Cuba for International conference

Dr. Eric Dent, Dean of the School of Business, left January 6 for Havana, Cuba.

Dr. Dent was an invited speaker at the Second International Biennial Seminar on the Philosophical, Methodological and Epistemological Implications of Complexity Theory. He spoke at this conference two years ago.

“What is of note about this conference is that much of the subject matter and my presentation is about decentralization, autonomous agents, self-organization, and open systems,” Dr. Dent said. “When I went to Havana two years ago, I was concerned that I was being monitored closely while I was there. Although I will never know if I was, I learned that even the Fidelistas know that Castro will die someday, and they want the country to transition in a way so that they maintain their high levels of general health, high levels of education, high levels of social order and low levels of corruption.”

Prof. Parnell presents two papers in India

Dr. John Parnell (Business) just returned from India, where he presented two papers at the Academy for Global Business Advancement meeting in Delhi.

Vest’s report critical of development near Blackfeet reservation

Dr. Jay Hansford C. Vest consulted with the Blackfeet Indian Nation and the National Parks Conservation Association to prepare a critique of an ethnographic report for the Badger-Two Medicine area of the Lewis and Clark National Forest in Montana.

The report critiqued by Dr. Vest is entitled “Blackfeet Culture, Religion, and Traditional Practices in the Badger-Two Medicine Area and Surrounding Mountains” and was prepared by Sally and T. Weber Greiser. Dr. Vest found the report inadequate because it failed to consider several important aspects of traditional Pikuni (Blackfeet) religious practices, and it offered an inadequate recommendation for protection of this area as sacred geography.

The Badger-Two Medicine area is a pristine wilderness area south of Glacier National Park and adjacent to the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area.

“Once a part of the Blackfeet Reservation, traditional Pikuni religion has been practiced in the area since time immemorial, however in 1896 the area was ceded to the U.S. by treaty agreement,” Dr. Vest said. “Although the Blackfeet retain treaty rights within the area, the Bush administration is, however, seeking to explore portions of the area for oil and gas development. Such development threatens the continued existence of traditional Pikuni (Blackfeet) religion.”

Dr. Vest has published several journal articles and chapters in books on the subject and related matters American Indian sacred geography and environmental ethics. A Saponi-Monaca Indian from Virginia, Dr. Vest is an adopted member of the Blackfeet or Pikuni Tribe.

Tyner wrote three articles for The Robesonian

This series gives the history of the Laurinburg-Maxton Airbase that was established during World War II as well as Governor Angus McLean’s participation on the first Wright Brothers’ Monument at Kitty Hawk and his meeting with Orville Wright and Charles Lindbergh.

Crandall and Parnell write article for business review

Dr. Rick Crandall, (Business) and Dr. John Parnell (Business) had their article, “New Frontiers in Management Research: The case for industrial archeology,” published in the latest edition of The Coastal Business Review.

The Review is a refereed e-journal published by the Wall College of Business at Coastal Carolina University.

The article offers alternatives to familiar sources for business research. The authors call it “industrial archeology.”

Management scholars traditionally rely on the review of journals and empirical data for information used in research projects. However, there is also a vast amount of material that remains virtually untapped by many management researchers - the artifacts, pictures and remains of industrial and commercial organizations.

Industrial archeology enthusiasts study organizational life, particularly the life of manufacturing facilities, by examining empirical data, as well as pictures, records, internal, external correspondence and other printed materials, ruins and artifacts.

The article delineates how management scholars can take advantage of the wealth of secondary material that exists by integrating an industrial archeological perspective into their research programs.
