Shem Nyachieo (Applied Graphic Communication, 2013) knows a bit about getting involved. As a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, he routinely volunteers throughout the community at charity organizations like Matthew 25 Ministries in Blue Ash.

On campus, he’s an active member of Student Government and serves as a peer mentor* to incoming students. Membership in the student chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Artists gives him a head start on professional networking, and involvement in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars on UC’s Clifton campus keeps him connected on a larger scale.

“Involvement and presence is key to a better community. My advice? Get involved and see where it takes you!”

*Peer mentors are a diverse group of studentswho take time to help ease the transition to college life. They are some of our best and brightest students and are compensated to represent our college to their peers.

MY PLACE TO

Josh Goode (Pre-Law, 1997) was not the typical college student. Home-schooled as a child, he was so bright by the age of 10 that his parents decided he needed more advanced teaching. UC Blue Ash was the place for him.

“The environment on campus was very welcoming – from students and professors alike. On campus, there are so many different types of people; I was just another part of the great diversity that exists.”

Josh went on to graduate by age 16 and completed his education at UC’s College of Law. He’s served as a magistrate in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court and now owns his own law firm in Cincinnati.

“I think people would be surprised to learn about the wide variety of courses and majors at UC Blue Ash. No matter what your ambition, there is a program that will give you a great education and preparation for your career.”

Josh volunteers his time to his alma mater as chair of the college’s Alumni Council – helping to increase engagement and connection of our nearly 20,000 alumni worldwide.

One Small TOwn, One Crazy COaChThe Ireland Spuds and the 1963 Indiana High School Basketball Season

mike roos

In the summer of 1962, the peripatetic and irrepressible Pete Gill was hired on a whim to coach basketball at tiny Ireland

High school. there he would accomplish, against enormous odds, one of the great small-town feats in Indiana basketball

history. With no starters taller than 5’10”, few wins were predicted for the Spuds. Yet, after inflicting brutal preseason

conditioning, employing a variety of unconventional motivational tactics, and overcoming fierce opposition, Gill molded the

Spuds into a winning team that brought home the town’s first and only sectional and regional titles. Relying on narrative

strategies of creative nonfiction rather than strict historical rendering, Mike Roos brings to life a colorful and varied cast of

characters and provides a compelling account of their struggles, wide-ranging emotions, and triumphs throughout the season.

Those are a few words that describe our students, not to mention our award-winning faculty.

Our educators work, research and innovate – on our campus and around the world. Meet a few of our outstanding faculty:

Physics professor Cenalo Vaz conducts research in the field of gravitational collapse and black hole radiation. He has presented his research at international conferences in India, Japan, Germany, and the U.S. Dr. Vaz has also written three full-length texts on Electrodynamics, Mechanics and Statistical Mechanics for the graduate level.

“I have taught in several places around the world and I enjoy teaching at UC Blue Ash. The faculty at UC Blue Ash and the UC community as a whole are very supportive of my research and make a great environment for discovery.”

Allied Health professor Tracy Herrmann is a driving force behind the national Image Gently campaign, an initiative to promote radiation protection in the imaging of children. “This work is extremely important in providing quality health care. And, for me, it’s equally important to show my students how we, as professionals, must continually improve our practice.”

Eunha Chung (Graphic Design, ‘10) traveled from South Korea with her son Jayu to offer him an American education. What she found was a new beginning for herself.

While she had been a science teacher in Korea, Eunha was always drawn to art and its connection with the natural world.

“UC Blue Ash gave me the opportunity to develop a whole new side of myself as an artist and graphic designer. Because the curriculum was strong, and the professors gave me constant attention and focus, I was able to follow my passions in design.”

dreamBIGGERMY PLACE TO

Designing for a World StageWhen the World Choir Games came to Cincinnati in 2012, Eunha’s design for a unique trophy was selected to represent the event. Her design incorporates elegant lines inspired by the Ohio River, leading to the opening of the vase which echoes singing mouths of the choir members, with their individual voices coming together in a single harmony. The trophy was produced by world-famous Rookwood pottery in Cincinnati.

“My father is a traditional porcelain artist in Korea, and my husband is a percussionist and music director. I couldn’t resist the urge to participate in the trophy competition because my life had these two huge connections to music and art.”

Today, Eunha splits her time between her studios in California and Korea, where she focuses on creating artwork in Sci-Art – a unique combination of Science and Art.

Samantha Rahe (Radiologic Technology, 2012) dreams of putting her compassion for others into action as a Radiologic

Technologist – working toward improving radiology in developing

countries. She’s well on her way.

As part of a service-learning class, Samantha traveled to Guadeloupe, where she studied the island’s social and economic issues, immersed herself in the language and culture, and volunteered with local schoolchildren.

“In Guadeloupe, it was so powerful to experience, first-hand, the beauty of the island against the ugliness of social issues that permeate its people. I could never have learned these things from a textbook.”

The experience was a life-changing one for Samantha, who had never before traveled out of the country.

“One of the greatest things I took from the people I was with was that change is constantly occurring, that we as humans have the capacity and talent to change ourselves, others, the environment, false perceptions, beliefs, opinions and notions.”

Joy Jovet (Nursing, 2013) knows a thing or two about flexibility. As a professional dancer and a soloist for the Cincinnati Ballet, she worked tirelessly to develop her technique and keep up with the demanding schedule of nightly performances.

“When I made it as a professional dancer, I felt my life’s goal had come true. Millions of little girls dream of being a prima ballerina. And for me, that dream was an exciting reality. ”

But dreams don’t always last forever. Injuries took a toll on her dancing career, and eventually, Joy knew her days as a professional ballerina were over.

“Realizing that my career was over was difficult. But I knew this was an opportunity to stretch beyond what I thought I was capable of – a chance to reach new heights. ”

So she traded in her toe shoes for some more sensible footwear as she embarked on her calling to become a nurse. The flexibility and support that she received in the Nursing program made all the difference.

“I may not have completed my journey if it wasn’t for the support of my nursing professors and the financial support of the Elinor L. Willet Scholarship.”
