Presented by Appalachian State University FREE FOR ALL Join App State’s Lee Ball for a lively presentation and video about the university’s solar vehicle, ROSE, which won first place in the Cruiser Class during the 2021 American Solar Challenge and second place in the 2021 Formula Sun Grand Prix. In addition to his duties as Chief Sustainability Officer, Ball serves as an advisor for Team Sunergy, App State’s solar vehicle team, which is recognized by the international solar racing community for its excellence. In the 2021 American Solar Challenge, App State was one of nine university teams — including MIT, University of California, Berkeley, and Georgia Tech — that qualified to compete and was among only two universities that do not offer engineering programs. Team Sunergy won all three stages of the race from Missouri to New Mexico, clocking a total of 964.8 miles. The team also took top awards for teamwork and electrical design. Designed, built, and raced by Team Sunergy in 2018, ROSE was reengineered in 2021. The car has a top speed of 60 mph and a maximum range of 300 miles on a single battery charge. Team Sunergy began in fall 2013 as a class project to build a solar-powered golf cart and developed into an interdisciplinary team of App State students, faculty, and staff working together to research and develop solar-powered race cars. Supported by faculty from its inception, it was institutionalized and funded by Chancellor Everts. Website

A lecture and recital by James Douthit including the piano music of Theodor Leschetizky (1830-1915) Presented by Appalachian State University FREE FOR ALL Join App State’s James Douthit for moving piano performances and a lively look at the opportunities students in the Hayes School of Music have to turn their talents into lifelong careers. Douthit will also share how his professional journey led him to be named dean of the university’s school of music — a progression of his work as a professor, pianist, and piano pedagogy clinician. Douthit has performed extensively in the United States, as well as in Austria, Poland, China, and Great Britain. He is noted for his performance of piano compositions of Theodor Leschetizky (1830–1915), one of the most renowned piano pedagogues of the nineteenth century. Of note, the Leschetizky Association of America invited Douthit to present a concert in honor of Leschetizky’s birthday and his performance earned a standing ovation. Reviews of Douthit’s recitals laud his performances as “musically poetic” and highlight his extensive technical and interpretive skills. He has been praised for his “sweeping gestures at the piano” that “extend his passion for the music and its communication to the audience.” Website

The music and dance traditions of southern Appalachia have often been portrayed as a culture that was brought to the U.S. from the British Isles. In fact, they have multicultural roots. They are a blend of earlier European, African, and Native American traditions, and they reflect the cultural and ethnic diversity of America. In this presentation, we will identify some of the many contributions of African Americans to these uniquely “American” traditions. Website
