The Carolyn Freeze Baynes Institute of Social Justice |
|
| The Carolyn Freeze Baynes Institute for Social Justice is an international forum for addressing questions, presenting ideas, and developing innovations. The Institute's focus in these activities it the identification of injustices and development of more just alternatives through systematic professional research, scholarship, and public presentation of findings and ideas. | |
| In the fall of 2001, Charles and Hazel Freeze of Mooresville, North Carolina, made a major gift to East Carolina University in honor of their late daughter, Carolyn Freeze Baynes. Ms. Baynes was known widely for her intelligence, compassion, and support of others in the community. Deeply committed to her family and community, she became an ardent supporter of East Carolina University programs and sports through the influence of her husband, Michael R. Baynes, an ECU alumnus. Soon after her retirement from state service, she was diagnosed with cancer, and she was lost to the disease in February 1999. The family's gift now supports the Carolyn Freeze Baynes Institute for Social Justice in the College of Human Ecology. The Institute represents an institutional commitment of community and justice, values that Carolyn Freeze Baynes exemplified. | |
