UC President's Year-End Message

Via the UC Staff listserv:
Happy New Year! As 2011 draws near, I want to extend to each and every member of our UC family my heartfelt best wishes for a great new year. I hope you are enjoying the holiday season. Looking back on the year that is coming to a close, we have had many reasons to celebrate the University of Cincinnati's achievements. Our entire UC community shares in this success, and I want you to know how thankful I am for your dedication to and support of our university. Together, we truly have accomplished a banner year for UC.


Let me highlight just a handful of our key successes in 2010:

• The largest enrollment in UC history with over 41,350 students arriving in fall quarter.

• Launching our new strategic plan, UC2019 – Accelerating Our Transformation.

• Record-breaking total research funding at more than $443 million, an increase of 17 percent over last year.

• Gaining recognition as one of the world's most beautiful college campuses. Forbes said: "Architecture students at UC need only step outside the classroom to observe some of the more cunning modern architecture of their day."

• Ranking among the top 200 World Universities, according to The Times Higher Education magazine in London.

• Formation of the new UC Health system.

• Launching of the student-led Proudly Pennies campaign and the "1819" alumni giving effort, as well as reaching the $715-million mark in our $1 billion Proudly Cincinnati Campaign.

• Doubling the number of start-up companies sparked by UC researchers, thanks to changes in state law.

• Being part of four of the five Centers of Excellence named so far by the state of Ohio and the Ohio Board of Regents and being a partner in the "Consumer Marketing" Hub of Innovation and Opportunity announced by the state of Ohio.

• Big East Player of the Year honors for volleyball player Stephanie Niemer and Big East Coach of the Year honors for volleyball head coach Reed Sunahara, as the Bearcats captured the regular season championship trophy and competed in the NCAA volleyball championship.

• Completion of Phase 1 of the Sheakley Athletics Complex and indoor practice facility.

This list reminds me of the tremendous milestones we have reached in just 12 months. I am truly proud of the University of Cincinnati – our students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters. I hope you share that pride, and I look forward to many more strides for our university in the year ahead.

Wishing you all the best for 2011!

RAPP Connections with LeaderShape

The University Honors Program annually hosts the prestigious LeaderShape leadership training institute.  LeaderShape's mission is "to transform the world by increasing the number of people who lead with integrityTM and a healthy disregard for the impossible."

This year's institute is being held December 11th through 16th at Higher Ground (also home to annual Honors Retreats, Camp Bearcats, and at least one RAPP retreat in the past).

Many RAPPers throughout the years have participated in LeaderShape at UC. 

While I was a UC student in the late 1990s I participated in LeaderShape.  There I met RAPP XIV member Moksha Southall while she was a student leader at the institute and a RAPPmate of hers participated in
LeaderShape as well that year.  I'm sure many others went through during those years as well!

Last year, RAPP XXV member Tyler T participated. 

This year, RAPP XXVI members Allison F, Matt M, Sara K are participating.  I have the honor of working with group as a cluster facilitator.

LeaderShape is a very intensive institute - please send positive thoughts the group's way!

Congratulations to RAPP XXIII Graduate Eddie Cancel!

RAPP XXIII graduate Eduardo Cancel was highlighted in UC News for his successful though challenging UC journey:


UC Graduate Takes a Sudden Turn on His Path to Commencement

Eduardo Cancel says a sudden detour on his academic pathway is making him appreciate his upcoming graduation even more.

Date: 12/6/2010

University of Cincinnati graduate Eduardo Cancel of Cleveland says as soon as he passed his mechanics II exam last month, he ran straight to the UC Bookstore to pick up his cap and gown for Commencement. The 24-year-old has taken some twists and turns on the pathway to this milestone, and he credits the support of the Darwin T. Turner Scholars program for helping him get there.

Eduardo Cancel

Six-and-a-half years ago when Cancel first entered UC, he had graduated from high school with a GPA that was higher than 4.0 and was awarded full scholarship tuition to UC through the Darwin T. Turner Scholars program and Cincinnatus Scholarship program. A UC student with a proud Latino heritage, he says he was following the footsteps of his father when he started out majoring in mechanical engineering.
Then, he hit a bump. After starting out on the dean’s list, he says he started struggling academically, and that struggle hit this high-achiever hard. “I didn’t think that college would be that tough, because academics had always come so easy for me,” he says. “I began to question myself and ask myself if I was really smart. I was disappointed in myself, and I was worried about disappointing my family.”

That’s when he says he turned to the coordinators in his scholarship program for both moral and academic support. “I told them, they weren’t just my scholarship program, they were my therapists,” he says. “That whole family environment got me through it.”

He switched his field of study from mechanical engineering to civil engineering, adding he was interested in the environmental aspects of the major. But after four-and-a-half years at UC including working co-op, he switched his major in what would have been his senior year in engineering. “I realized it just wasn’t the right field for me. Everyone told me to just go ahead and finish it out, and I said, ‘This was not the right fit for me.’”

He says he discovered a field of study that was more to his interest, the industrial management program in the College of Business. It’s an engineering-based program for technically-oriented students who share their first two years of study with students in engineering. The bachelor of science in industrial management is called one of the few undergraduate programs of its kind in the nation.

Cancel adds that during his time at UC, he also fell in love with the city of Cincinnati, and he has interviewed with some Tristate companies. He says he emphasizes in interviews that he is bilingual in both English and Spanish, thanks to his family heritage.

It took him two more years to get to graduation this December, but he says it was worth it. “You can always look back and say, ‘I should have done this sooner.’ But I know that what I learned and what I went through is going to make me appreciate graduation that much more.

“Even if it is only five seconds to walk across that stage at Commencement, I’ll savor every one of those seconds. It took a lot for me to get to this moment.”
