KVRO - FM (101.1)

The faint sound of music rings throughout the old, weary halls of the Seretean Center. Sound waves bounce off the walls, sending notes careening through the build-ing. The music travels as far as it can, for as long as it can, trying to find a home.

Sitting in the small office she shares with her husband, Natasa Kaurin-Karaca is practicing. As her husband Igor Karaca listens, she plays an accordion.

Natasa and Igor are professors in the music department at Oklahoma State. Natasa’s specialty is aural skills, but she also teaches music appreciation, as well as classic piano. Igor teaches a variety of subjects, primarily music technology and music theory.

The Karacas are devoted to their craft. Music is what carried them from the war-torn streets of Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, to Stillwater. Music has led the Karacas a great distance, but it has given them a gift: each other.

***Natasa began playing

music at a young age. Her mother played piano in their home; a skill she would pass on to her daughter.

“I started playing piano when I was 6,” Natasa said. “Then I started taking les-sons.”

In Bosnia, for Natasa to hone her skills as a musician, she had to attend a public music school after she got out of her primary classes. Natasa fell in love with play-ing music. She knew that it was what she wanted to do, and she began to study at a high school specializing in music.

Natasa’s studies were going well, and she seemed destined for a career in mu-sic. She decided she wanted to teach, and her life was seemingly laid out in front of her.

Then, in the spring of 1992, the Bosnian War began. It resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers and even more civilians. During the blood-shed, Natasa’s parents made a choice.

“In ‘92, my parents sent me out of the city,” Natasa said. “So I fled to Serbia, and I was a refugee there.”

Despite her situation, Na-tasa remained focused on her passion. She continued to do what she loved. She leaned on music to help her through the trying times.

“I was able to start music academy there,” Natasa said. “I specialized in music education, and specifically, teaching aural skills and music theory.”

Natasa would remain in Serbia, studying music during the four years the war took place. She was sepa-rated from her parents, an outsider in a country other than her own.

Igor’s early upbringing

was not so different from Natasa’s. He came from a family of musicians, and similar to his wife, Igor began to study music at a young age.

“I went to elementary music school, and a very specialized high school,” Igor said. “Then I went to the Music Academy is Sara-jevo. … Unfortunately, this was the time of the war.”

Igor and Natasa shared similar upbringings, but their experiences with the war were quite different.

Igor stayed in Serbia during the fighting. The violence of the war reached everyone in the country. In Bosnia, there was no reprieve from the bloodshed and death.

“I had to walk 5 miles to school every day and 5 miles back, and snipers would shoot at us,” Igor said. “We would still go because … You either go or you sit at home doing nothing, so we chose to be shot at.”

Food was difficult to come by during the war. There was no electricity, the economy was in shambles and it was unsafe to leave home.

“Food was humanitarian aid only,” Igor said. “You get a little piece of bread every day, and that’s your food.”

Despite the circumstances, Igor’s passion for music remained steady.

Following the war, and the return of diplomatic relations between Bosnia and Serbia, Natasa returned home where she met Igor.

Igor, however, was unable to continue his education in Bosnia because of a lack of professors, so he sought out other avenues. He entered

his work into several compe-titions.

“There was a competition by this organization called ArtsLink,” Igor said. “They were looking for young mu-sicians to come to the United States and spend three months at a major American university.”

Igor’s music was well received. The organization sent his recordings to the U.S. where it was presented to several universities, one of which provided the Karacas with a ticket to America.

In 1999, Igor spent three

months in Columbus, Ohio, at Ohio State University where he was able to learn and teach music. Igor returned to Bosnia after the three months and continued his life with Natasa.

A few months after his trip to the U.S., Igor received a letter.

“The letter asked me if I would like to come back as a doctoral stu-dent there,” Igor said. “I told them I’d love to, but I simply didn’t have money.”

Fortunately for Igor,

Ohio State was willing to waive the fees if he taught at the university while earning his degree. Before they could come to the U.S., they had to receive their visas.

For Natasa to earn her visa to travel with Igor to the U.S., their relation-ship had to take a big leap forward.

“We were told in the embassy that we needed to get married,” Natasa said. “So the next day, we got married.”

Igor and Natasa were married on Thursday and flew to the U.S. on Satur-day.

Once Igor and Natasa arrived in America, they began working and teach-ing in the Ohio State music department. After their graduation from Ohio State, Igor and Natasa began teaching.

“I worked at Greater Co-lumbus Arts Council as an artist in residence,” Natasa said. “We went to schools and created projects for students in need.”

After Igor received his DMA, he spent a year teaching at Fort Hayes High School in Columbus before getting a job at Oklahoma State.

After Igor and Natasa moved to Stillwater, Igor taught in the music depart-

ment for a year before Natasa’s position became available.

“We needed another teacher here who was able to teach aural skills and class piano,” Igor said. “She happens to be the person to do that, so she got hired and it worked out beautifully.”

Since arriving in Still-water, the Karacas have used their experiences and knowledge to affect the lives of each of their students.

Nick Chabot, a vocal mu-sic education senior, said the couple sincerely cares about its students and wants to help guide them as much as they can.

“They work so hard to share their passion with us, and it is apparent with the amount of help and support they are willing to offer,”

Chabot said.Renae Perry, a vocal

music education senior, said the professors expect quality from their students but are willing to help them achieve it.

“Natasa and Igor both hold their students to the highest expectations for each individual and insist on excellence in a kind, compassionate way,” Perry said.

Music led Igor and Natasa on a wild, unlikely and exceedingly difficult journey, but their students said they are thrilled the destination was OSU.

“It’s an unreal experi-ence,” Igor said. “To come from having nothing to eat, to being professors at a ma-jor university in the United States is surreal.”

Oklahoma State University will award honorary doctorates to researcher John Niblack, art studio director Bill Goldston and former NFL running back Walt Garrison during two undergraduate commencement ceremonies on Saturday, Dec. 12, at Gallagher-Iba Arena. “The careers of this year’s honorees are especially representative of the diverse fields of study and options offered at OSU, and their lives reflect the service to others that we prize so much,” said OSU President Burns Hargis. “We are proud to recognize them with honorary degrees that represent the highest honor we can bestow.”

John Niblack has dedicated his life to new discoveries in the research lab and to helping students at OSU pursue similar interests by offering several annual scholarships that allow them to engage in actual research as undergraduates. Niblack, who was given a similar opportunity by a professor

when he attended OSU, went on to serve as president of global research and development at Pfizer Inc., managing 12,000 researchers and an annual budget of more than $5 billion. He retired in 2002 after 35 years with Pfizer and continues to serve as a consultant and a board member for companies involved in the industry. He is also active on the boards of several non-profit institutions and museums. Niblack will receive an honorary doctorate in humane letters and deliver the

commencement address during the morning ceremony on Saturday. Bill Goldston began breathing new life into Universal Limited Art Editions soon after he arrived at the fine art print studio in 1969 to assist in a printmaking project. Goldston, who received a bachelor’s degree in fine

arts from OSU in 1963, encouraged the studio’s owners to venture into new areas of printmaking that attracted new artists and fostered expansion. By 1976, he took charge of the studio, where he is known for cultivating experimentation and innovation while maintaining a sense of family. Only one artist is scheduled to visit and work at the studio on any given day. A traditional lunch is served to allow the artist, printmakers, staff, interns and special guests to gather around the table and interact in a relaxed setting. Goldston will receive

an honorary doctorate of fine arts degree and speak to graduates during the afternoon ceremony on Saturday. A scholarship to OSU allowed Walt Garrison to quit his midnight work shift in Texas and major in animal husbandry in 1962. His skill as a running back on the football field and

as an excellent student in the classroom made him a role model. Drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 1966, he helped lead the team to a Super Bowl Championship and was also named to two NFL pro bowl teams. Garrison has been inducted into the Oklahoma State Hall of Honor, the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, as well as sports halls of fame in both Oklahoma and Texas. He has used his down home personality and celebrity status to help numerous charities in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and throughout the world. Garrison will receive an honorary doctorate in humane letters during the afternoon graduation ceremony on Saturday.

INSIDERFrom OSU Communications

December 4, 2015

The history of Oklahoma State University is a journey that officially began in Guthrie on Christmas Eve 1890 in the McKennon Opera House. Territorial Governor George W. Steele signed legislation providing for the establishment of an agricultural and mechanical college as well as an agricultural experiment station in Payne County, Oklahoma Territory, effective December 25, 1890.

Steele, who had served as a congressman in Indiana, was appointed to the governor’s post by President Benjamin Harrison, where he made good use of his background in the Army and political service to push for public schools and higher education in Oklahoma.

Steele served as territorial governor for only a year before returning to Indiana and resuming his political career. However, his time in Oklahoma was always considered a very important part of his legacy.

The first legislative assembly of Oklahoma Territory met earlier the same year and voted to place the future college in Payne County, but did not specify an exact location. Several towns campaigned for the institution before Stillwater got the nod.

Over the last 125 years OSU has grown to become one of America’s premier land-grant universities. Explore the university’s rich history, marvel at the accomplishments of its people, and discover the impact its teaching, research and outreach have had on our world in the 125th anniversary multimedia timeline.
