The Hoggatt House is a rare example of houses built by the early settlers of the Piedmont Backcountry. Originally a single room log cabin with a large stone fireplace, the house was built around 1801 and enlarged with a second room around 1824. It was moved to the Historical Park in 1973 from its original location at the corner of Phillips Avenue and Rotary Drive in High Point. The Hoggatt House was restored after a fire caused by a lightning strike in December 2004. Visit the Park Staff here to learn about the everyday lives and activities of settlers in the early 1800s.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Family history
1862 George Vanderbilt is born in Staten Island.
As a grandson of famed industrialist and philanthropist Cornelius Vanderbilt, George takes his
place among one of America’s best-known families.
1888 George Vanderbilt first visits Asheville, North Carolina.
A short visit to the Blue Ridge Mountains with his mother immediately sparks Vanderbilt’s
imagination. He has found the perfect location for his country home.
1900 Cornelia Vanderbilt is born at Biltmore.
George and Edith’s only child is born on the evening of August 22 in the Louis XV Room. It is a
celebrity birth, even by modern standards.
Construction of the Main
Dairy and Horse Barn begins.
The Horse Barn is a thriving social and work center for the families who farmed Biltmore, and
the agricultural heart of the estate. It remains a unique connection to the estate’s past.
1914 George Vanderbilt passes away at the age of 51.
Vanderbilt is buried in the Vanderbilt family mausoleum on Staten Island. He leaves an
enormous philanthropic legacy. Edith sells approximately 87,000 acres of the estate to the
United States Forest Service for less than $5 an acre.
3. History
Vanderbilt’s 250-room French Renaissance chateau is a true marvel, the largest undertaking
in residential architecture. Over a six-year period, an entire community of craftsmen comes
together to create America’s premier home and the environmental wonderland that
surrounds it. Vanderbilt officially opens Biltmore to friends and family. On Christmas Eve,
the country retreat George Vanderbilt has spent so long planning is marvelously decorated
and full of festivity. The finished home contains over four acres of floor space, including 35
bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, and 65 fireplaces.
Upstairs on the second and third floors, in addition to luxurious bedrooms, are areas where
guests once played parlor games and took afternoon tea. The Fourth Floor features Maids'
Bedrooms and the Observatory with spectacular views from the top of the front of the house.
Downstairs, the domestic servants kept the entire house running smoothly with the help of a
state-of-the-art domestic nerve center, complete with a main kitchen, two specialty kitchens,
large laundry complex, refrigeration systems and pantries.
Fully electric and centrally heated, Biltmore House, at the time of its completion, was
considered one of the most technologically advanced structures ever built and is still admired
today for its innovative engineering. It used some of Thomas Edison's first light bulbs, boasted a
fire alarm system, an electrical call box system for servants, two elevators, elaborate indoor
plumbing for all 34 bedrooms and a relatively newfangled invention called the telephone.
Vanderbilt also wanted his mountain home to provide family and friends with recreational
pleasures: an indoor swimming pool, bowling alley and gymnasium are located downstairs.
4. GardensThe Biltmore Estate has 250
varieties of gardens, including
these three. They also have
inside gardens like the one on
the bottom left.
