Has it really been 25 years?

A look back at what's changed since the Class o f 82

FROM THE CHANCELLOR

This past fall,the inaugural Class of 1982 returned to the campus of the North

Carolina School of Science and Mathematics for its 25th Reunion. Much had

changed for them in the quarter-century since they last roamed the halls of

NCSSM.They were teenagers then - wide-eyed and optimistic - but with a

motivation and pioneering spirit beyond their years.They were, after all, the

first class in what was an incredibly unique experiment in public secondary

education. In many ways, NCSSM and its inaugural class were much alike.

Now, those creative and motivated young students have become creative

and motivated adults, still characterized by a pursuit of purpose and a love for

learning. Everyday, they contribute to the well-being of their communities in

tangible and significant ways. NCSSM has grown with them, undergoing many

exciting changes of its own.

Back in 1980, the first NCSSM class totaled 150 students. Today, nearly 650 students roam the same halls-an

all-time high for the school - and plans are in place for a campus expansion to accommodate an additional 250

on-campus students. And now that NCSSM is officially a constituent institution of the University of North Carolina,

many more exciting things are on the horizon.Truly the pioneering spirit that defined the School back in 1980

remains strong today.

As chancellor of NCSSM for the last eight years, I have been extremely fortunate to bear witness to the remarkable

happenings on this campus everyday. I can see more clearly than ever the courage and foresight North Carolina's

leaders had when they created such a ground-breaking institution more than 27 years ago - an institution that

has inspired 18 others like it around the world. More than 27 years later and with 26 graduating classes out in the

world, NCSSM continues to maintain its reputation for excellence as it crafts North Carolina's exceptional learners

into the world's exceptional leaders.

Archaeologist's dream Drought uncovers ruins at Falls Lake giving students rare glimpse into North Carolina's history

Students, under the direction of archaeologist Ramie Gougeon, sift through dirt and sediment in hopes of finding artifacts at the site of 200-year-old Colonial ruins at Falls Lake.

By BRIANNE DOPART

When a week of rain brought an end to the 2005 drought, art teacher Joe Liles thought he'd lost an amazing opportunity.

It was in that year that Liles, an outdoorsman and teacher at the N.C. School of Science and Mathematics, had discovered an archeologist's dream in the bed of Falls Lake: the remnants of a lost 200-year-old village.

Liles said he'd always sought out projects that would get him and his students out of the classroom and into nature.When, in 2003, the Eno River Association asked him if he was interested in a project plotting the course of Fish Dam Road, an old colonial corridor that began at the onetime capital of Hillsborough, Liles said he wasn't that interested.

But as Liles and his students began discovering that parts of the road still lay hidden in the forests and even some urban areas of Orange, Durham and Wake counties, the class and Liles' collective interest rose.

"The students felt they were explorers," he said/They felt they were discovering something everyone else had forgotten."

The class tracked the road from west of the Eno across two county lines to Falls Lake,

where the road apparently dropped off into the lake basin. A long period without rain in 2005 left the basin dry and gave Liles an idea.The art instructor went out and saw what he determined to be the foundations of old buildings he now believes to be the village of Fish Dam, a settlement named for a nearby stone weir American Indians used for catching fish in the Neuse River, since dammed to create Falls Lake.

Liles called the state archaeology department in Raleigh, which would later come out to examine the site and date it to sometime in the early 1800s or before.

"They were impressed,even amazed,"Liles said.

The state archaeologists enlisted the help of the Army Corps of Engineers, who visited Liles'discovery in December 2005.

An official from the Corps"saw these ruins and he immediately authorized the funding for a dig," Liles said."Almost as soon as he did that, we had rain for a week."

Since then, Liles has been hoping that, during his teaching career, there would be another drought, another opportunity to give his students the chance to learn by doing.

"I never expected it would happen so soon," Liles said.

Fast forward to the drought of 2007, when water levels at Falls Lake are so low that large portions of the bed are dried and cracked.

Finally able to begin their dig, state archaeologists and the Army Corps of Engineers, led by archaeologist Ramie Gougeon, enlisted Liles and his students to assist with the painstaking work of sifting through piles of dirt in the hope of unearthing clues.

Twenty-nine students,all currently juniors and seniors at NCSSM, spent afternoons this past Monday through Thursday digging, sifting and uncovering what they discovered to be the foundations of nine buildings and an array of artifacts, including a doorhandle, a hand iron, an axe head and a piece of glass bottle bearing the letter"C."

"I've always loved history, but didn't know much about archaeology,"said Carey Averbook, 16, a junior from Pinehurst. Averbook said she wasn't sure if archaeology would be a career path for her, but the opportunity to assist in the dig definitely got her interested in exploring the subject further.

Senior Natalia Chodelski, 17, of Charlotte was struck by the significance of the work.The effort, she said, would ensure this forgotten history would notjusf'disappear into blackness."

Averbook too seemed in awe of the history of it all,and said she was impressed at the thought of standing where someone had stood 200 years ago.'And you don't know who stood there, who stood in that same place."

"For me,this is the ultimate teaching experience,"said Liles,"Whereyou take something that was a mystery and make it understandable,and you give students the chance to be on the front lines of that , understanding." •

Feature: Mini-Term

By BRIAN FAIRCLOTH

When NCSSM's founding faculty and administrators first came together to plan the life of the School, they knew they wanted to create an academic environment that was

as unique as the School itself. High on their to-do list was creating significant learning opportunities for students outside of the traditional classroom and curriculum. For years, colleges and universities had been offering these kinds of specialized, focused learning opportunities between semesters, often called Mini-Semesters.The School's planners decided to implement a similar program and, with that, Special Projects Week (SPW) became part of the NCSSM academic curriculum.Today, SPW is known as Mini-Term and is one of the most popular and recognized academic opportunities at NCSSM.

Mini-Term works like this:for one week each academic year, traditionally in the spring, regular classes are suspended. During this time, students are actively involved in specialized projects in subject areas that are of particular interest to them. Quite often, students spend the preceding months laying the groundwork for their project.Though the work is detailed and intense, it is carried out at a slower, more relaxed pace. Students are learning for the sake of learning without the pressure of an end-of-course exam or the necessity of covering a set amount of curriculum.

"Something like this would be very difficult to implement in a regular high school because they have to follow a standard curriculum and they have curriculum guides that dictate when things need to take place," says Tom Clayton, NCSSM's director of academic programs. "There's just not a lot of time, particularly when [Mini Term] takes seven academic days. There's just almost no way to implement that at a traditional high school."

In Mini-Term's early days, all projects were student-designed and approved by faculty members. In an effort to tighten the program's structure and increase its educational value in the ensuing years,faculty became more and more involved in creating special study options.

"A number of faculty members look at this time as an incubator for their own course ideas,"Clayton says."A number of them want time to work on a particular academic idea or project... that they felt was important and maybe interesting to students, but also potentially something that we would add to the curriculum."

Examples of courses in the current NCSSM curriculum that began as Mini-Term activities include Creative Writing, Environmental Chemistry, Esperanto, Film Criticism, Forensics, Fractals & Chaos, High-Speed Imaging, Recording Technology, Robotics, Southern Literature, Women's Studies, and World Music.

Today, all faculty members are required to participate in Mini-Term. Approximately two-thirds of the student body participate in teacher-led projects, while the other third carry

The Galapagos During Mini-Term 2007, students had the chance to study abroad, including traveling to Galapagos National Park to study Ecuador's native plant and animal species.

Physics Under the direction of physics instructor Dr. Chuck Britton, students during Mini-Term 2006 construct a trebuchet, a medieval military device similar to a catapult.

out approved independently designed or team-designed projects under the guidance of an adult member of the NCSSM community.

The teacher-designed Mini-Term study options available to students are numerous, and cover the entire academic spectrum.The most recent Mini-Term Proposed Courses catalog includes more than 30 teacher-designed research possibilities ranging from the study of alternative energy sources to the math and physics of aviation to the creation, administration, and management of a computer grid system. Almost all of the projects take place in non-traditional settings, i.e. outside of the usual classroom, exactly as the School's planners envisioned. Students often work around campus,or even off-campus in the community.

A number of Mini-Term courses each year are built around trips abroad where students study natural, cultural, historic and scientific issues.The most recent Mini-Term saw students traveling to places such as Belize, the Galapagos Islands, and Spain. Edward Poyo '08 participated in a trip to Central Europe.

"Since coming back from Europe, I have used examples of the history we learned, culture we saw, and random trivia that our tour guides shared with us on everything from the SAT to college applications," Edward says."Being able to incorporate European history into normal aspects of NCSSM life has even given me huge boosts on papers for classes. ...That mindset, although not even close to that of an authentic European, has made me think much more of our impact [on] and interaction with the rest of the world."

Students need not travel far beyond the NCSSM community to engage in meaningful research. During one recent Mini-Term, a group of students immersed themselves in a documentary film-making project, led by History Instructor Katy Fenn, called "Vanishing Durham" While engaged in this project, students delved deep into the history of Durham, all the while acquiring film-making, research, and interview skills.

Over the course of two Mini-Terms (2003 and 2004), art instructor Joe Liles led his students on another local project. Together they documented a colonial road that ran from a crossing on the Neuse River between Wake and Durham

"The students told me, as they were

discovering these old remnants of the

road in the woods, that they felt like

they were discovering something that

everybody else had forgotten. They

told me that this was an exhilarating,

addictive kind of feeling. The enthusiasm

that generated was incredible to behold."

-Joe Liles

counties to the colonial capital of Hillsborough in Orange County.The documentation of this road led to the discovery of a long-forgotten village circa 1800 and a federally-funded, post-Mini-Term archaeological dig in which a number of NCSSM students were invited to participate.

"The students told me, as they were discovering these old remnants of the road in the woods, that they felt like they were discovering something that everybody else had forgotten," Liles says.'They told me that this was an exhilarating, addictive kind of feeling. The enthusiasm that generated was incredible to behold." (For more on the archaeological dig, see "Archaeologist's Dream" on Page 5.)

Robotics One of the greatest benefits afforded to students at NCSSM is the myriad of academic opportunities they have at their disposal. One such opportunity is to study robotics, which effectively combines several disciplines such as mathematics, physics and engineering. Here, a student works on a robotics project during Mini-Term 2005.

Like many of the academic programs that make NCSSM such a unique institution, the success of Mini-Term relies in part on philanthropic support from the community. In 2000, Wachovia Bank signed on as Mini-Term's sponsor and has, along with the Wachovia Foundation, remained the program's sole corporate and foundation sponsor.Their support has allowed Academic Programs to authorize each academic department to spend up to $2,500 on textbooks and equipment, provided that everything purchased will be reused during succeeding Mini-Terms or incorporated into the regular curriculum. Also, each student is authorized to request up to $10 through their Instructor/Sponsor for any type of supplies or materials utilized in Mini-Term courses or projects.

The program has matured along with the School and will almost certainly remain in its present tried-and-true format

for years to come.The only challenge in the foreseeable future is one that most externally-funded programs at NCSSM share - t he identification and acquisition of future funding. Given the program's history and success, however, Mini-Term will surely continue to be an attractive academic investment to corporations and foundations seeking to positively impact math and science education.

Mini-Term's future as a unique and rare educational program among high schools is promising. In a school noted for its advanced curriculum and numerous extracurricular academic opportunities, it still stands out. Leslie Brinson, long-time NCSSM biology instructor and veteran of many Mini-Term research trips, summed up Mini-Term's value in just a few words.

"It is,"she says,"even better than our classes." • * •a

NCSSM Foundation 2006-2007 Annual Report

Dear Friend,

It is such a pleasure to be back on campus after graduating more than 20 years ago.

Of course, as vice chancellor for development, my days are very different from what they were as a student. My time is spent on fundraising and public relations rather than on formulas and petri dishes. More telling, my mindset is much more that of a protective parent than of an adventurous adolescent, though I must confess that I'm working harder than expected at substituting disapproving looks for understanding chuckles. And no

doubt due to the academic setting, the old nightmares have returned. My subconscious once again fears sleeping through exams.

I'm most fortunate to work amongst students who are every bit as bright and motivated, albeit occasionally distracted, as my own classmates a generation ago. Indeed, they are worthy heirs to our pioneering legacy.

I'm equally fortunate to work alongside members of an esteemed faculty and staff, some of whom preceded my arrival as a junior 22 years ago, and are thankfully still too numerous to name in

this small space. According to my sources, Don Houpejohn Kolena, Joe Lilesjim Litle, Jon Miller, Dan Teague and Ginger Wilson remain terrific teachers. I can personally attest that Terry Gray has perfected her pies and Chris Taylor ensures the little things that aren't given a second thought, such as heat and electricity, remain uncontemplated. It's always reassuring to see John Williams making his rounds for security. Belinda Cagle, Sandra Jackson and Shelia Butts administer much of what must happen to keep the doors open for business. And Marlene Blakney's apartment isn't too far from my office. One day, I'm sure we'll learn that Marlene actually owns this property and leases it to the rest of us.

Among my new colleagues, I'm especially pleased to join the growing ranks of alumni who now work for their alma mater, including Steve Jones'83, Floyd Bullard '87, Jon Davis'88, Christine Muth '92, Kimberly Logan '97, Jeff Milboume '99, Henry Hebert '02 and Will Mack '03.

Also, alumni are growing in numbers on the Board of Trustees and on the Foundation Board. I commend them, as well as the board members of our Alumni Association, for their continuing commitment and contribution to NCSSM.

In fact, if you gave at all of your valuable time, talent or treasure to NCSSM this past year, you may find yourself recognized in this publication. Whether an alumnus, parent, board leader or friend, please know that your support is very much needed and appreciated.

However, if you are a graduate of the school as I am, know your support will be needed increasingly in the future. After It's simply our turn.

I look forward to working with you in the years to come to advance the mission and impact of NCSSM.

Sincerely,

/ .

Feature: Jamie Lathan

the faith NCSSM instructor receives volunteer award for work with at-risk kids

ByAARON PLOURDE

Jamie Lathan, a history instructor at NCSSM, is the kind of guy who would help an elderly woman carry her

groceries to her car without the slightest hesitation. He's the kind of guy who, when he sees an opportunity to help others, seizes it. For that reason, and many more, Lathan's church pastor nominated him last year for the President's Volunteer Service Award. And if you've ever met Lathan, it's no surprise that he won.

Lathan mentors at-risk young men at the Teen Leadership Club (TLC) in Durham's Cornwallis community, a program he helped establish through his church, King's Park International. For his efforts and dedication, his pastor nominated him for the prestigious service award when he learned President Bush was coming to the area.

So, at the behest of his pastor, Lathan wrote up a brief summary of what he does

at TLC, sent it off and practically forgot all about it.That is, until in between classes in late February last year when he received a call from the White House saying that he had won the volunteer award and was going to meet President Bush.

"I was speechless for awhile," Lathan recalled. Although he shared the good news with his mom and dad, he thought it best if he kept it to himself for a little while.When he walked into class after receiving the phone call, he apologized for being late and started his lesson.

After getting the good news that morning, Lathan's schedule was full of media interviews and conversations with family and friends. He was still shocked by all the attention and, as is his character, he didn't give himself praise for his work. Rather, he thanked God and his parents.

"There are so many people who deserve this award as much, if not more, than me," he said."I wouldn't have won this award

Jamie Lathan takes some time to play during his time at the Teen Leadership Club in Durham's Cornwallis neighborhood, where he has been mentoring young men for the past five years.

if it weren't for the people who have given me so much throughout my life, especially my parents."

He's the first to admit that mentoring isn't easy — that he could do a million other things with his free time. But after growing up with parents who dedicated their lives to helping others, he feels he too needs to give back.

Lathan can remember as a young boy watching his father teach a grown man to read. He can remember his mother helping an elderly couple when she saw them pushing a cart full of laundry. She picked them up and took them home and continues to be friends with the couple to this day.

"I'm just privileged to be their son," he said.

When he finally got to meet the president on the tarmac at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, the two shook hands and paused for some photos.

After President Bush gave Lathan the volunteer award, he leaned over to Lathan and said,"We are the country we are because of people like you."

Lathan in turn thanked him and said that there are many other people who deserve this award, namely people like his parents.

Reflecting on his award and having the chance to meet the president, he said it was probably the greatest honor of his life. And then he was quick to point out that he hasn't lived his life for honors."lf you work hard, sometimes they just come along."

Lathan continues to mentor young men at TLC about the importance of education and leadership; he leads them in Bible studies and takes them to cultural events in the Triangle.

Some days, he admits, are difficult. Some days it doesn't seem to him that he's making any difference. But his faith motivates him to keep trying.

"The biggest effect I have is just being there for the kids. I think that means something to them. When I have a hard day I think/love wears people down and I'll be back again next week.'"

Lathan is a graduate of the South Carolina Governor's School for Science and Mathematics and a two-time graduate of the University of Virginia, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Education. He was also awarded the Marshall Memorial Fellowship in December 2007, an honor given to the next generation of American and European leaders. As part of the fellowship, Lathan will travel to Europe for 23 days to discuss domestic and international issues. •

Feature: Bryant Griffin

By LAUREN EVERHART

ryant Griffin has made floodwaters seethe and recede, toying with humans who are nothing to him

l but specks on the landscape. He's not God, but he's worked with gods - in Hollywood parlance, movie

directors. When they want less seething and more receding, he's their go-to guy."

ByLAU

D So began a July 1,2007 article in the Charlotte Observer about NCSSM alumnus Bryant Griffin '94. Fifteen years before, Bryant was getting ready to leave his home in Charlotte to spend two years on the Durham campus of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. Little did he know that the next two years would dramatically change the trajectory of his life.

I met Bryant in September, 13 years after he graduated from NCSSM, at the San Francisco campus of Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), a division of Lucasfilm Ltd. that provides post-production visual effects to the entertainment industry, boasting work on such films as "Star Wars,""The Chronicles of Narnia,""Indiana Jones"and "E.T."There, Bryant uses his background in industrial design and art to create digital environments for some of the top-grossing films in Hollywood.

The path for Bryant from the historic Watts Hospital campus in Durham to the ILM studios in the Presidio of San Francisco was a long one, with many unexpected bumps along the way. But ask him if he would change anything about where he's been and you get a definitive"No"- the same answer he'll give you to the question of whether or not he's gotten used to seeing film-greats like George Lucas roam the halls of ILM.

Bryant's journey to NCSSM began in the late 1980's when his family moved from Brooklyn, N.Y., to Charlotte, N.C, what Bryant says was one of the best things that ever happened to him. Soon after arriving in the Tar Heel State, Bryant's mother learned about NCSSM and insisted Bryant apply. Bryant was accepted to NCSSM and arrived on campus in 1992.

According to Bryant, whose nickname at NCSSM was "smiley," his experience at the School was "life-changing."

"It was the first time that I came to the realization that I could make money as an artist,"he says.

Bryant had always doodled and sketched, especially comics, but came to a real turning point at NCSSM during Special Projects Week, or what is now called "Mini-Term." (For more on Mini-Term, see "There's Nothing Mini About lt"on Page 6.)

"It was 1993," he says.'There were a few comic book creators that were really profitable."

So Bryant and his friend Chad Harness decided to create a full, 30-page comic book.

"We didn't get the 30 pages done," Bryant says,"but we came up with a story and characters.... That was the first time I thought to myself/People get paid to do this.'And so that's

when I decided to seriously pursue it."

Bryant credits NCSSM with helping him find a path and purpose for his passion as an artist.

"At NCSSM, you feel comfortable being who you are; it's a time when you discover who you are," Bryant says."Sometimes people hide their'nerdiness,'they hide their love of certain things to fit in. NCSSM is a place where you feel comfortable in being who you are."

Joe Liles, art instructor and one of Bryant's mentors at NCSSM, agrees and finds NCSSM a particularly interesting place for students interested in both art and science and math.

"One thing that people uniformly fail to realize," Liles says,"is that art can be integrated into science and math, that it's not an either/or situation. And many of our students have been attracted to the fields of architecture, industrial design and graphic design as a way of bridging that chasm of art and science and math."

"Sometimes people hide their 'nerdiness/

they hide their love of certain things to

fit in. NCSSM is a place where you feel

comfortable in being who you are."

After Special Projects Week, Bryant's next milestone at NCSSM came with a school-wide competition to design an NCSSM sculpture. Bryant's winning globe sculpture design confirmed his decision to pursue life as an artist and introduced him to the world of industrial design. It was during the creation phase of the globe sculpture that Bryant was also introduced to Charles Joyner,a professor at North Carolina State University. Joyner became Bryant's guide throughout the design process and encouraged Bryant to attend N.C. State's College of Design, a decision that would ultimately lead Bryant to the Pumpkin King scholarship offered by NCSU graduate Jonathan Harb and, eventually, to ILM.

But in between Bryant's early years at NCSU and the scholarship that led him to Lucas' San Francisco special-effects house, Bryant took his career off-road for a bit.

"I didn't really understand why I was at school,"he said."I thought I could make it on my own."

So Bryant left NCSU and returned to Charlotte, working a number of temp jobs, primarily in banking, until he began to want more.

"You start to see nice things," Bryant says,"and you say,'l would 39 like to be able to afford those things.'"

He began pursuing a career in comics,flying out to San Diego

WinterlSpring 2008

for a convention where his portfolio got him a job with a small, independent publishing company in Cary, N.C. Soon Bryant hooked up with comic book artist Andrew Pepoy.who self-published "Simone and Ajax," and did some assistant work with Pepoy, illustrating such comic books as "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Sonic the Hedgehog."

"I continuously pursued illustration while working my day job [in Charlotte]," Bryant says.That is, until, after four years, he decided it was time to return to N.C. State.

Bryant,"a little bit older, little bit wiser,"he says, built a portfolio, won a few competitions and,finally, the Jonathan Harb Pumpkin King scholarship to attend N.C. State. Bryant graduated from N.C. State in 2003 with a bachelor's degree in industrial design.

Two weeks after graduation from N.C. State, Bryant went to San Francisco to work as an apprentice at ILM, a connection made through Jonathan Harb, where his first work was on the Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale flick"Van Helsing/'followed by"StarWars: Episode lll"and Steven Spielberg's"War of the Worlds."

Through his experiences over the years, Bryant says that the primary lesson he's learned is the importance of relationships.

"The most important asset anywhere is always the people," Bryant says."At Science and Math, it was the people. At N.C. State, it was the people. And here [at ILM], it's the people. It's not the facilities. It's the people and the experiences."

Now, Bryant spends his days creating environments as a digital matte artist for ILM and working with his father and brother for their family business, Avanguard Solutions, a mobile technology company that offers customized solutions in mobile communications and software development.

His recent work at ILM includes "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,""The Chronicles of Narnia,""Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,"and the 2007 Steve Carrell blockbuster"Evan Almighty,"for which Bryant helped digitally create the ark.

Liles calls Bryant's work a "profound merger of art and science and math.

"Bryant has found that point of synthesis," he says.

Nearly 15 years after leaving NCSSM, Bryant hopes to leave current students with one piece of advice:

"Take the time and become passionate about the things that you're being taught.Take real interest in [them]. Absolutely take advantage of the opportunities and do not take things for granted. Understand that [NCSSM] is a fantastic opportunity that a lot of people don't have access to." •

S i g n d e s i g n I by lauren everhart

Back in 1993 at the Broad Street entrance to the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics sat an old hospital sign - one that used to read "Watts Hospital Emergency Entrance" and now read "The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics," written on pieces of plywood.

"It was a hideous looking sign," saysjoe Liles, an NCSSM "Abider" founding faculty member and art instructor. "It was kind of typical of everything in the '50s that everybody thought looked beautiful, but now, in retrospect, we realized was pretty doggon ugly."

So the School decided it was time for a change. And, like many things at NCSSM, the project was put in the hands of students by way of a sign competition with a cash prize.

Bryant Griffin, a senior at the time, saw a flyer about the competition that said "What would you do for $200?" and was immediately intrigued.

"Two-hundred dollars was huge for a kid that was not allowed to drive, who lived on campus," Bryant says. "Do you know how many CD's you

could buy with $200?"

Bryant says he had the idea for his sign in his head for a long time but hadn't put it down

— on paper. That is until about 30 minutes before the submission deadline when

Bryant scrambled to put his idea down on paper, sketching a front and a side view of a globe-like sculpture.

Then in November, the entire student body was called into an assembly in the

Physical Education Center where, much to Bryant's surprise, he was named

the winner of the competition.

"Bryant's was clearly the most sophisticated from a design point-of-view" Liles says. "And we just took it on its face value. It was beautiful. It was kind of abstract. Nobody really knew what it meant, but we liked it."

The nextyear and a half were spent in production of the globe sculpture, most of the work being done after Bryant graduated from NCSSM in 1994 and was a freshman at North Carolina State University.

The sculpture was completed and installed in the spring of 1995 beneath the trees on Watts lawn, with the entire student body, Bryant and his family in attendance.

"It was just a really nice moment," Liles says.

But the most commonly asked question about what has come to be known as the "Globe Sculpture" is: What does it mean? Well, Joe Liles had the same question back in 1995.

"I asked Bryant, 'Is there any meaning behind the sign?"' Liles recalls. "And Bryant said, 'Oh yes, there's lots of meaning behind it. First of all, I wanted to use a sphere to represent the world and how NCSSM is a globally aware place.... And then I did the cutouts in the sphere to represent two hands coming together with their fingers interlaced. And what that means to me is that NCSSM teaches students to nurture the world, to care for the world. And those caring hands are embracing the world.'"

With some minor repairs here and there, the sculpture has proved it's not going anywhere - a fact that still surprises its designer.

"Is it even still on campus?" he asked.

Yes, Bryant Griffin, it is.

On a warm Saturday morning in June, NCSSM graduated its 26th class when NCSSM Board of Trustees Chairman William P.H. Cary accepted 309 members of the Class of

2007. Dr. Samuel Houston, president and CEO of North Carolina Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Center (NCSMT), gave the keynote address to a crowd of nearly 3,000 parents, alumni and friends gathered on Watt's Hall lawn.

Dr. Houston has been at the helm of NCSMT since March 2003 and has been a longtime educator and administrator for schools throughout North Carolina. During his speech, Dr. Houston encouraged the graduates to work hard, be respectful and to strive to become leaders. He outlined problems our world faces today, challenging the graduates to tackle them with the same vigor and determination they have shown at NCSSM.

Nearly 80 percent of the Class of 2007 planned to attend a University of North Carolina system school for undergraduate study. Other noteworthy institutions NCSSM graduates are now

attending include Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Duke University, Yale University and Georgia Institute of Technology.

The Class of 2007 is one of the most decorated NCSSM classes in recent memory, including in its ranks three North Carolina State University Park Scholars, two University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Morehead-Cain Scholars, a Robertson Scholar through UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke University, 11 semifinalists in the Siemens Competition for Math, Science and Technology, four Intel Science Talent Search Competition semifinalists, 24 National Merit Scholarship Program winners, three National Achievement Scholarship winners, and one of the state's two 2007 Siemens Award for Advanced Placement winners.

The School and the NCSSM Alumni Association congratulate the Class of 2007 and wish all of the graduates the best as they pursue future endeavors in education and beyond.

Looking to the future Commencement is a day filled with bittersweet emotions. This past year's exercise was no different, with smiles, tears, handshakes and hugs shared among the members of the Class of 2007. But no matter where these new alumni find themselves across the world, they know they can always call NCSSM home. On behalf of the School and the Alumni Association, we wish the members of the Class of 2007 all the best in their endeavors.

Class Notes

In Memoriam

Christopher Reuther '91 Christopher Reuther, 34 died tragically this past spring in Hawaii after suffering a sudden brain hemorrhage.Chris grew up near Asheville, where he grew to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors. He attended NCSSM and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he received his degrees in environmental science and journalism.

After attending UNC, Chris began writing for Environmental Health Perspectives journal. During the 11 years he was on staff, he discovered a love for environmental reporting and a passion for the work of EHP and its mission. It became both a personal and professional mission for him to improve the lives of people, both in his own community and in the larger global community, by enlightening the world to their situations, and by empowering them to improve and sustain their own environment and health.

Chris was about to study law at Tulane University, where he was offered the Dean's Scholarship. His plan was to study environmental and international law so that he could dedicate his life to empowering those around the world who are powerless to avoid environmental injury. During his life he had a great effect on many people, including the 12 people who received the gift of life from Chris being an organ donor.

Chris will be terribly missed by many.

Wade Barrow Rogers '87 Wade Barrow Rogers, 37, of Asheville, died June 22,2007 after an illness he had battled most of his life.

He was founder and president of Translucent-Fleetman,a software and computer consulting firm. He loved animals

and people, and strove to make the planet a better place for both.

He attended Smithfield Elementary, Marie G. Davis Middle School, and Myers Park High School in Charlotte. He was a graduate of NCSSM and a junior in biomedical engineering at North Carolina State University. He was well-known and loved for his sharp wit, honesty and generosity.

A bright young man, he had multiple interests outside of his field of study. An uncanny ability with the camera produced spectacular photos, elevating the mundane to the status of art. He was a ballroom dancer and competed with his school team, performing in several exhibitions. Frank made innumerable friends online, giving everyone a turn with his wild and innovative ideas. He touched more lives in his short time than most would be able to in 100 years. He will be sorely missed by his family and his friends around the world.
