Past Issues
Because a university does not thrive in isolation, UC has been nurturing relationships within the community — sending faculty and students off campus to share their expertise and lend their assistance, welcoming groups on campus for varied activities and forging partnerships with businesses and other institutions.

Blood donated at UC's Hoxworth Center is distributed to 27 area hospitals and medical centers, but is not transfused "as is." Most processing — separating blood into red cells, platelets and plasma — is done manually. Blood technologist Lynn Vone Liggins evaluates processed red blood cells in the Hoxworth Components Laboratory.

After helping local agencies assist the homeless, 150 students from UC, Wright State and Wilmington College spent the night in cardboard-box shelters on UC's Campus Green. Not even a chilling rain could dampen their resolve to continue anti-hunger activities and inspire others to join them. The "Peace Village" conference was supported by UC's Just Community initiative.

Science can be amazing. At UC's Science and Engineering Expo in March, a future scientist adds candle warmth to a balloon filled with hydrogen and oxygen gas. In a flash of light, heat and "supersonic" noise, a small amount of water is produced, proving that H + O = H2O. Meanwhile, hundreds of junior- and senior-high students from 38 southwest Ohio schools displayed projects in engineering, math and science.

Visitors to UC's "Showcase 2006" open house were awed by the College-Conservatory of Music's theater design and production displays. Included were the intimidating nuns' costumes (by Regina Truhart, CCM '98) for a student production of Puccini's opera "Suor Angelica" and an enormous, elegant backdrop for the Dvorak opera "Rusalka," modeled on a 17th century Rubens painting of Samson and Delilah.

With its sturdy 48-inch blade, this mini-dozer is perfect for carving out a new nature trail at UC's Clermont College. After students in machine design drew up plans, sophomores in computer-aided design handled assembly. Area industries donated essential parts, including hydraulic pumps and a 27-horsepower motor.

UC's Alumni Masters Forum invited C. Mack, CCM '82, to share success tips with students, including those in a CCM broadcasting class taught by former Channel 5 news anchor Norma Rashid. The executive vice president of PNC's Consumer Bank urged students to maintain a moral bar in their careers. "I've watched a number of hugely successful people go off-track because they allowed their egos to begin making their decisions," he said.

UC President Nancy Zimpher shelled fava beans and salted Cornish hens on Channel 12's cooking show, "The Dish," last winter.

The colleges offer a dual-enrollment program; students earn an associate degree in culinary technology at Cincinnati State, then continue at CAS for their bachelor's.

Nobel Laureate Timothy Hunt of Cambridge University visited campus in May to speak about gene regulation and development at the national Lingrel Symposium sponsored by UC's Academic Health Center and Children's Hospital. Dr. Hunt won the Nobel for "discoveries of key regulators of the cell cycle" while doing cancer research in England.
