GREEN
The Power of
by Britt Kennerly
Think green and
who comes to mind:
Oscar winner Al “An
Inconvenient Truth”
Gore? Canadian
environmentalist
David Suzuki? Kermit
the Frog?
ink green chemistry, and
the names James Mack and
Michael Baldwin should
make the list.
e McMicken College of
Arts and Sciences professors
are among young scientists
worldwide researching and
developing environmentally
safe chemical reactions and
processes. “Going green”
in this respect is not only
Earth-friendly and healthconscious, it’s a perfect
description for a burgeoning
eld attracting new and
veteran scientists to its folds.
“Green chemistry is appealing
in that it asks for an approach
to making progress in a way
that maximizes efficiency
while minimizing damage
to the world we live in,” says
Michael Baldwin, an associate
professor who came to UC in
1997. “It requires one to think
not just about how to make
something work, but how to
make it work in the best way
– all things considered. is
is both more challenging
and in a way more elegant,
or, to a chemist at least,
aesthetically pleasing!”
James Mack was a gradeschooler in 1980, when the
“Superfund” was federally
mandated to clean up toxic
waste le behind by Hooker
Chemicals (Occidental
Petroleum) at New York’s Love
Canal. As a graduate student,
he was fascinated with the
disposal and handling of
2
Summer 2007
chemical waste. “I really
became interested in the eld
from an educator’s standpoint
when I obtained my PhD
and had opinions about
what improvements could
be made in the eld,” says
Mack, an assistant professor at
McMicken since 2003.
Mack’s group focuses on solidstate organic synthesis through
high speed vibrational milling
– HSVM. In HSVM, solid
reactants (crystals or powders)
are placed inside a steel vessel
along with a ball bearing
(stainless steel, aluminum
oxide, brass, etc.; 1/8 or
HSVM vial
1/4 inch in diameter). e
sealed vial goes into a milling
apparatus, where it’s agitated
at 60 Hz. e impact of the
ball breaks down the crystal
lattice of the compounds to
a ne-enough particle size
that reaction can take place,
explains PhD student
Dennis Fulmer.
“Due to the large amount of
collisions in the course of
the ball-milling, the reagents
are able to get close enough
to each other to react,” says
the Cincinnati native, who
was inspired to enter green
chemistry aer learning about
Mack’s research.
e group is bucking
conventional wisdom. Aer
all, Mack explains, solvent
has been used in chemical
reactions since the days of
Aristotle, who wielded longlasting inuence with his
words: “No reaction proceeds
without solvent.” e result?
Generations of chemists
used solvent in organic
synthesis, Mack says, without
considering solid-state
chemistry or resultant waste.
“Our research group
concentrates on developing
organic reactions that are
environmentally benign as
well as safe to perform,” he
says. “is is a very important
aspect of green chemistry.
We want to make sure the
chemistry we are conducting
is safe for the environment
but at the same time we are
more interested in making
sure the chemistry is not a
safety hazard for the chemist.
Recently we had a paper
accepted in the Journal of
Green Chemistry which
describes our method of
doing chemical reductions
in the absence of a chemical
known to cause severe res
and accidents.”
Eco-friendly Approaches
Michael Baldwin and his
group are pursuing research
aimed at developing useful
“We are interested in
developing catalysts that allow
us to use oxygen from the air
as the oxidant in reactions that
oxidize organic molecules,
which are important reactions
for making a large variety
of products,” he says. “is
is ‘green chemistry’ because
oxygen is freely available and
renewable, and it produces
only water as a ‘waste product.’
In contrast, traditional
oxidants like permanganate or
dichromate produce amounts
of metal wastes equivalent to
the amounts of oxidants used
in the reactions.”
Baldwin’s group has developed
catalysts for using oxygen as
an oxidant based on Ni(II),
“which usually doesn’t react
with oxygen and a number
of people said would never
work,” he says. “Because the
metal we used for the catalyst
is unusual for this kind of
reaction, it turns out that the
kinds of oxidations it will
promote are also unusual.”
A major holdup in the
embracing of green chemistry
is truly green – as in
greenbacks. e bottom
line is money, Mack and
Baldwin agree.
“It’s cheaper to use solvents
… I think we will see a
change over the next few
years because disposal fees
and solvents prices will
continue to rise,” Mack says.
“In order for widespread
and common use of green
chemistry by manufacturers
to be implemented the
current and future laws on
this subject has to affect their
bottom line. Companies are
in the business of making
money and if anything affects
that goal then companies are
very good at adapting.”
Additionally, the public
relations cost of being
considered a “polluter” is
driving a lot of companies
to move in this direction,
Baldwin says.
Michael
Baldwin
“I expect that there are many
more companies wanting to
move in this direction as well,
if it were not to put them at too
much of a short-term nancial
disadvantage relative to their
competition,” he says. “Perhaps
this is where additional
legislated benchmarks or goals
would be useful.”
It’s Keen to be Green
ough they may not realize it,
the general public already sees
the impact of green chemistry.
Graduate student Dennis
Fulmer cites a few examples:
• e drug Taxol (BristolMeyer-Squibb), once isolated
from yew trees, is now
synthesized using a greener
chemical process expected
to decrease hazardous waste
generation by 32 metric tons
over the next ve years. e
original method took 20
steps and used more than 20
different solvents.
It’s a good time to be involved
in green research, says Mack.
Scientists of years past “have
taken the brunt for us – they
were ostracized for pursuing
this. In olden days, it wasn’t
considered ‘manly.’” It was
also controversial, he says,
citing marine biologist
Rachel Carson, who wrote
the groundbreaking 1962
book “Silent Spring.” While
the book launched the
environmental movement
and led to DDT’s elimination,
Carson took a major hit to her
career in the process before
dying in 1964.
en came path-blazing
changes through the
Environmental Protection
Agency, where green
chemistry really took root. A
crucial turning point came
with passage of the Pollution
Prevention Act of 1990, which
decrees that pollution should
be “prevented or reduced at
the source whenever feasible
and safe disposal is the option
of last resort.”
“It’s a lot easier in this day
and age, getting people
excited about green
chemistry,” Mack says.
Count Dennis Fulmer, who
hopes to one day work for the
EPA, and his peers among the
believers. Unless scientists can
come up with new greener
processes, “then our society
will not continue to operate
as it does now,” Fulmer says.
“is is due to the fact that
we are not sustainable and
unless we become so, then
the human race will face
serious consequences.”
And chemists, he believes,
will lead the way. “ey are
responsible for many of the
things that the general public
takes for granted,” Fulmer
says. “I was always interested
in making the world a better
place for the generations that
will come aer us.”

in 2008.
Raised in Tampa and Las
Vegas, he loves nature, from
gale forces on the Gulf Coast
to the jaw-dropping scenery of
the desert.
“I’m an earth child, a water
baby at heart,” he laughs.
“Maybe the love for water is
the Scorpio in me. But I’ve
always been interested in
nature. I always had questions:
How did it get there? What
was it like before?”
Pathway to Progress
Billie Burton, assistant dean
for Undergraduate Affairs
and Advising, sees a lot of
desire in students among
Finley’s age group. Between
800 and 900 students older
than 25 have enrolled in
McMicken each quarter since
autumn 2006.
“I probably tend to see more
of those students than other
advisors – people who wake
up like he did and realize that
either they haven’t completed
a dream, to nish their
degree, or that they’ve gone
as far as they can without
a degree,” Burton says. “In
those cases, they’re hitting a
brick wall or glass ceiling and
know they can’t go further
without it.”
And these students are an
important part of the UC
family. “It denitely helps the
non-traditional population
when we make a commitment
to meeting their needs,”
Burton adds.
Finley works to make his
time on campus matter.

He wants to make the most

2006, for example, he spent
some time doing weather
updates on Bearcast. at

fell in love with weather
oddities as a child growing
up in Florida – wrote a letter

“I learned how to work in

project and speak and more
about radar,” Finley says. “I
know where to point at the
board as I look at the camera.”
And, he adds, all of his
experiences have helped him
on his trek to a degree. “ey
seem to be interrelated,”
he says.
Finley isn’t sorry that
he took time off before
entering college.
“It was difficult getting off the
ground when I started. But I
gave myself time to grow up
a little and realized: is is
what I need. I wanted to do
it, so I was ready.”
His mother is so proud,
he claims, that she gets
emotional every time she
talks about his progress. And
Finley’s pretty much in awe
of what he has achieved, too.
“It gives me goosebumps. It
amazes me,” he says matter-offactly. “I think that if I can do
this, anybody can do it – set a
goal and go ahead and make it
happen. Every day opens new
doors. It’s not all cake and ice

Where Does Journalism Head
Next?
by Britt Kennerly
Even in the Face of Change, Great Storytellers are a Must for All Mediums
They’ll gather facts,
photos and video
from a breaking-news
scene, sift through
databases, prepare
a podcast and assist
with a complete
Web news package.
Sandwiched somewhere
in there, they’ll
write a story for
print, too. And they
might just have to do
all of this within a
few hours.
In a news-now society,
these people are the “mojos”
– mobile journalists who
can not only write, but cross
digital platforms and easily
adapt to new technology.
Here’s the dirt: It’s not your
grandma’s – or even your
– brand of news-gathering
and delivery anymore.
Circulation and advertising
revenue for print products
are decreasing as quickly,
it sometimes seems, as
Web-based news outlets are
growing. Add to the media
melting pot innovations
like video-sharing network
YouTube and social network
site MySpace, and reading
a newspaper or watching
cable news seems so, well,
last-century.
Yet industry experts agree
the well-written word and
the need for news that
illuminates, educates and
inspires will not only survive
but thrive, albeit via a variety
of methods. And that means
there will always be a place
– be it the blogosphere,
CNN.com or a biweekly
newspaper in rural Ohio
– for journalists with clear,
powerful voices.

Summer 2007
With its power to shed light
on everything from wars
to Watergate to the horrors
of Hurricane Katrina,
journalism has long appealed
to those “who care about
our society, democracy and
others,” says Jon Hughes,
professor of English and
journalism and head of the
UC journalism program.
“We’re public servants and
we need to tell people in
democracy things they need
to know so decisions can be
made. It’s a way to look at
all that, and also tell others
about the human condition.”
The Message is
the Medium
e ways those public
servants disseminate those
stories now, however, are
light-years away from
those available when
Washington Post reporters
Bob Woodward and
Carl Bernstein changed
journalism forever, and
brought down a U.S.
president, by exposing the
Watergate break-in.
Consider these comments
from Tom Rosentiel, director
of the Project for Excellence
in Journalism, in “e State
of the American News
Media, 2007.”
“Trends that we have been
tracking now for four years
are reaching a pivot point,”
Rosenstiel reports. “Only
one media sector, the ethnic
press, is still growing,
and every measurement
for audience – even page
views and visitors – is now
being questioned. ings
are now moving faster
than companies can even
recognize. Mainstream
news media are adapting,
in part, by focusing on
specialties. In a sense, every
outlet is becoming more
of a niche player with
reduced ambitions.”
In 2006, the total audience
for network news declined,
according to the PEJ report.
NBC’s evening newscast lost
viewers, ABC’s audience size
remained the same and while
Katie Couric’s September
debut brought a “dramatic”
ratings surge at CBS, Evening
News viewership dipped by
26 percent from that peak
by the end of the year. PEJ
found cable news numbers,
too – including those of
powerhouse Fox – declined

in 2006, and for the third
consecutive year, daily and
Sunday circulation of U.S.
newspapers fell sharply.
Yet, newspaper Web site
traffic soared 31 percent
during the rst six months
of 2006, says the Newspaper
Association of America.
According to the NAA’s
Fall 2006 Newspaper
Audience Database report,
the “migration to electronic
news was fueled by a jump
in the number of younger
consumers accessing
newspaper Web sites. ey
reected a 15 percent
increase among those aged 25
to 34 and a 10 percent boost
in those between 18 and 24.”
With each passing year, the
preeminence of traditional
print journalism fades a bit
more, says Tom Kehoe, staff
development director for
Gannett’s FLORIDA TODAY
in Melbourne, Fla.
“Newspaper sales are
contracting; Web news
readership is growing. Web
readers expect a visually rich
storytelling environment, and
we have to provide it,” he says.
In 2006, Gannett’s
newsrooms began
reorganizing to adapt to this
reality. “We are no longer
officially ‘newspapers,’ we’re
‘information centers,’” Kehoe
says. “We still tell stories,
but we tell them using a
variety of platforms. We still
investigate corruption, but
we allow the reader access to
the data we assemble and not
just the story we produce.”
Television news is going
through much the same thing
– audiences are shrinking
and becoming more
specialized, he adds.

Summer 2007
“And with changes in
technology – high-speed
ber to people’s homes; TV
and Internet carried over the
same cable; smaller, lighter,
cheaper HD videocams,
etc. – you’ll start seeing a
blurring of the distinctions
between newspapers, TV and
the Web in the near future,”
Kehoe says. “We’re already
sharing some of our video
with some company-owned
TV stations.”
Doing it All;
Doing it Well
ose who jump into this
change-charged atmosphere
will nd limitless challenges
and rewards. But as always,
journalists still have to be
able to string nouns and
verbs together, in analytical,
cohesive style.
Great storytelling remains
a core value for journalists
no matter what the
platform, says Bob Steele,
Nelson Poynter Scholar
for Journalism Values and
Senior Faculty, Ethics, at
e Poynter Institute in St.
Petersburg, Fla.
“Strong storytelling is built
on substantive reporting and
compelling writing,” he says.
“e journalist or columnist
must have something
meaningful to say and must
have the ability and the energy
to deliver the message.”
For most starting out, it’s
probably a smart move to
forget the luxury of writing
long pieces or weeks to
doggedly pursue a lead and
cra a story. Internships are
a must and a good place to
learn a variety of platforms.
Michael Perry, A&S ’84, is
managing editor for nondaily publications and new
“If you are a recent graduate
who can tell me in an
interview that you have
broken news online, updated
and posted stories online,
blogged, taken photos and
posted photo galleries,
maybe done some video, and
also wrote for the student
newspaper – and wrote well
– you probably have a better
chance at a job today than
a 25-year veteran who is
hesitant to take on all these
new demands,” he says.
e key, Perry notes,
“is understanding the
expectations and job
descriptions for so-called
print journalists are not
what they were 10 years,
ve years ago, even last
year. And they’re going to
keep changing.”
“If you can’t embrace change
and new technology, you’re
either going to not last in
the media world today or
you’re going to become
increasingly frustrated
and ultimately miserable,”
he says. “Here’s how I
would look at it: If you’re
just getting started in the
business, you should be
excited by all the different
kinds of opportunities
out there.”
Jenny Wohlfarth is a eld
service assistant professor of
journalism and a contributing
editor for Cincinnati
Magazine. While technology
clearly must be a part of the
instruction, she says, she
doesn’t think “spending tons
of classroom time teaching
the ins-and-outs of current
soware programs serves
students as well as teaching
them the fundamentals of
good writing and editing.
e technology is bound to
change – perhaps at an everescalating rate. e criteria
for good storytelling, accurate
reporting and insightful
analysis remain constant.
“We can’t necessarily keep up
with the changing technology
in the classroom – without
enormous funding for stateof-the-art labs, anyway – but
we can coach stellar writers
and editors who will get
hands-on exposure to the
current technology via their
professional internships. And
they do.”

journalism “knows how to
do research and understands
the difference between
subjectivity and objectivity.
at’s essential. We have
freedom of the press with
responsibility … the courts
haven’t caught up with what
this means on the Internet.”
Along those lines, the
comments sections of many
newspaper Web sites are
posing some serious ethical
problems, Steele says. Many
online news sources – Yahoo!
included – have gone so
far as to shut off comments
when they got profane or
threatening, bringing them
back with more-stringent
monitoring policies. Yahoo!
comments remain offline;
the Cincinnati Enquirer no
longer offers anonymous
“story chats” on every story
but instead uses a moderated
board with registered
users and staff-reviewed
comments.
“In most cases, posters
are allowed to remain
anonymous,” Steele notes.
“is breeds, I believe, a ‘wild
West’ mentality with many
folks just shooting away
that a list-serv moderator
serves a kind of gate-keeping
role in discarding posts that
would be offensive, hurtful
or threatening to members of
the list,” he says.
“There is no
better way
to learn how
to write and
report than
to go to
college, study
journalism and
write as many
articles as
you can for
whatever paper
you can.”

managing editor
Steele, who has recently
consulted with Enquirer
staff on comment boards,
concurs. To be sure, “online
journalism is in a shake-out
mode,” he says. “But that
should not justify a ‘let-thechips-fall-where-they-may’
philosophy. It’s unfair to
allow innocent people to
become the veritable ‘road
kill’ as we travel down this
new cyber-highway.”
ere is no easy solution to
deciding how and when to
incorporate “participatory”
journalism, and how well it
works, says Wilson, a former
reporter and editor who
discusses these issues with
students in his News Writing
and Media Law classes.
“I have real problems
with the movement to
provide more ‘interactive’
newspapers,” he says. “I
know the media corporations
and probably most editors
want this kind of material,
but I nd it trite and
counterproductive to what
should be the primary
mission of the newspaper: to
inform readers.”
But lest anyone think citizen
journalism is a new concern,
Hughes points to the power
of the underground press of
years gone by.
“ey basically had political
bias that was oen slanted,”
he says. “Yet they were also
responsible for some very
important and substantive
stories that the conventional
press wouldn’t touch. Over
the process of the maturing of
the underground press, it led
to what’s now the alternative
press, a very big source of
information with credibility,
unlike its predecessor.”
And that credibility is
the lifeblood of any news
organization, he says. He’s all
about the First Amendment,
above all else, but “there
is responsibility.” Citizen
journalists can’t have the
fairness, accuracy and ethics
of professional journalists,
he says.
“Credibility in journalism
comes with time. We oen
don’t know the credibility, or
bias, or politics and prejudices,
of citizen journalists,” Hughes
explains. “In journalism,
credibility is all we have.
ere’s nothing else.”
Stories that Need
to be Told
In many ways, Hughes adds,
those drawn to a profession
not traditionally viewed as a
road to wealth have much in
common with journalists of
years past.
“Most come into this with
the sense of public service,”
he says. “Some are following
an interest in social sciences
or literature, and many have
a sense of adventure. And I
don’t think you can overlook
the idea of ego – some want
to be a celebrity and may
see journalism as a way to
do that, even though it’s not
necessarily realistic.”
Former News Record
managing editor Tom
Demeropolis, a 2007 UC
journalism graduate, will
begin graduate studies at Ball
State University this fall. His
career goals at this point are
to become an editor and a
journalism teacher.
Changes in the business
he’s entering, he nds, go
hand-in-hand with a diverse
global landscape.
“America can no longer make
newspapers and magazines
– or lms, TV shows,
albums – for ‘the people,’”
Demeropolis says. “America
is a country of individuals
who have individual interests
and follow those interests.”
Record “have served me
tremendously well,” he adds.
“Because of both, I was able
to get an assistantship at
Ball State University for my
master’s in journalism.”
e Enquirer’s Michael Perry,
too, found his desire to be
part of the news mission
stoked on the UC campus.
“e education I received
at UC that helped in my
career came mostly in the
News Record office,” he says.
“I can trace everything I’ve
accomplished back to that
and to the media advisers
and journalism instructors
who paid close attention
to my development and
helped me along the way. I
couldn’t have asked for more
from that experience. I was
given opportunities to write
and report on a variety of
subjects, be a leader, make
decisions, make mistakes
and learn from them, and
get a feel for the newspaper
business, which I fell in love
with as a student.”
And in that respect, even
in the face of tremendous
change that helps dene
what’s new and what’s news,
not much at UC is different
than when Perry graduated
in 1984.
“We’re dedicated to teaching
the essential skills and
knowledge to be credible
journalists and good
citizens,” Jon Hughes says.
“Journalism is not going to
be the same, ever again – but
it can be exciting.”

For 2006-2007, Burlew
had six graduate and four
undergraduate students in
her lab. ey were joined
at weekly confabs by three
young men – high-schoolers
– Burlew met by teaching a
Sunday school class. “It’s a
different world for them here.
One student, from Hughes
High School, told me he had
never seen what was on the
other side of Clion Avenue
… these young people are
seeing great role models,”
Burlew states. “I take a lot of
pleasure in bringing them
together with UC and highachieving African American
males and females.”
Burlew – a longtime member
of the State Board of
Psychology – spends about 50
percent of her time teaching,
with the other half bought
out by grants, Howe says.
And when she teaches, it
matters: Burlew’s innovative
approach to graduate
education takes her and her
students into the metro area
and beyond. She uses research
funding and her work at

the Crossroads Center, a
substance abuse treatment
facility, “to create research and
clinical placements for her
students and then bring their
challenges and experiences at
those sites into the classroom,”
Howe says.
Fih-year clinical PhD
student Alexis Sanders has
a “tremendous respect” for
Burlew’s ability to “handle so
many tasks at once and still
maintain her sanity. Working
with her has been wonderful
as she has fostered a working
atmosphere that makes it
very easy to not only come to
work, but to enjoy what you
are doing.”
And subjects dear to Burlew’s
heart, substance abuse and
minority empowerment,
are of “utmost importance
to society as a whole,”
Sanders adds. “She deals
with issues that some may be
uncomfortable to tackle, and
she does it with condence
and ease. e importance
of her contributions
is immeasurable.”
Burlew gained condence,
she says, through role
models including the late
William Dember, psychology
department head and “a
cheerleader” for his faculty
when she began teaching.
“Having his support in my
early years, when I needed it
most, meant so much to me,”
she remembers.
Likewise, she is buoyed by
the support of other former
professors. For example, the
late Ron Boyer le in his
will money earmarked to
support minority students and
minority issues. Burlew has
helped use that money wisely.
“I’ve probably had at least
eight students who’ve gone to
University of Michigan to take
additional statistical training,”
she says. “We’re able to open up
another door for students who
wouldn’t be able to afford this.”
A Friend and Mentor Indeed
Like Natasha Buchanan, Paula
Shear has seen Burlew in
action when it counts – once,
when a blizzard hit the same
day as a national deadline for
matching clinical psychology
students to internships. One
student in particular was
having difficulty with the
match that required intensive
support work from Shear as
director of clinical training;
“as always, I wanted to involve
Kathy with the training plans
for her student,” Shear says.
e university was closed
and Shear couldn’t even
make it out of her driveway,
much less to her office and
the student’s records. Burlew,
on the other hand, not only
made it out of her own house
but to the bus station, where
she found a route that would
take her to the scheduled
Board of Psychology meeting
in Columbus.
“While at the bus station,
she managed not only to talk
to me about our student’s
situation, but to arrange a
three-way conference call so
that the student and both of
us could plan out a strategy,”
Shear adds.
“I am always impressed by
Kathy’s ability to go far, far
beyond what is required to
provide absolutely exemplary
training, mentoring and
support for her students. e
end of the story is, of course,
that the student went on
to great success during the
internship and in her career.”
Burlew is pleased, but
not shocked, to see her
students soar.
“I have to get up early in the
morning just to keep up with
them,” she says. “So I am not
surprised when they’re doing
well and fullling the promise
I saw in them.”

DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY
J
Call to service takes ’95 Taft Fellow on global mission
by Britt Kennerly
Many miles and
accomplishments later, the
call to service has proven
sure and satisfying for this
1995 Ta Dissertation Fellow.
On top of his duties as a
foreign affairs advisor to the
Commandant of the U.S.
Coast Guard, Sullivan is a
family-focused husband and
father. Yet, even at a time
when some might slow down,
this self-professed proud
American has launched
another phase of his career
journey. Aer retiring from
the Army in 2006 with almost
27 years of active and reserve
service, the Dayton native is
now responsible for the U.S.
Central Command Area of
Operations, which includes
Northwest Africa, the Middle
East and Central Asia, with
a total portfolio of just more
than 110 countries.
“I still have kids to put
through school, and the
military retirement is good,
but not nearly that good
– especially when you start
throwing in things like a
mortgage, food, other kids’
expenses, etc.,” the Virginia
resident explains. “Besides,
I’m too young to go into
total retirement. I have skills
and have been blessed with
an excellent education that
I can put to good use, and I
couldn’t think of having it any
other way.”

Summer 2007
Sullivan’s position centers on
monitoring political-military
developments within his
assigned geographic area and
identifying opportunities
To do that, I research individual
countries, identify command

RESPONSIBILITY
decision to go into the military
was cemented during his
sophomore year in high school.
“A publishing company had
started releasing a magazine
series on the history of
World War II,” he recalls. “I
bought the rst issue, and
was fascinated by the history
behind it all, because that
issue focused mostly on what
happened leading up to the
war’s start. en, during a car
ride with my dad, I started
asking him about what was
in the magazine and what it
was like to live through it, and
by the end of that ride I knew
what I was going to do with my
adult life – national service.”

undergraduate when
commissioned through the
ROTC program in 1979.

engagement may enhance
the accomplishment of U.S.
national security objectives.
“Additionally, I have to
remain aware of military or
maritime organization in my
countries to identify potential
counterpart activities with
the Commandant – in other
words, is there a relationship
he can build with whoever is
his equivalent in a particular
country?” he says. “I also

engagement responsibilities.
opportunities, and recommend
solutions to mutually enhance
security concerns.”
National Service Beckons
Sullivan was a 10-year-old
when his family moved to
Cincinnati, aer his father
was offered a position on the
Xavier University faculty. His
e Army did the “logical
thing” with a communication
major, he says – “put me in
eld artillery.”
While assigned to Germany,
he completed a master of
arts in international relations
through the Boston University
Overseas Program. His Queen
City roots came into play as
he considered his
next move.
“My graduation coincided
with leaving active duty, so
I started interviewing for
PhD programs,” he said.
“UC made the decisionmaking process very easy. I
was offered a scholarship
about ve minutes into
the interview. Besides,
my parents still lived in
Cincinnati, so it was a chance
to be close to them aer so
many years of being away.”
Sullivan was selected for an
assistantship for two years
while at UC, and named a
Ta Dissertation Fellow his
nal year. He recalls that time
with fondness.
“e faculty was superb, and
the education was rst-class
in every possible way,” he
says. “In fact, it was UC that
made all of this possible. God
really blessed me because of
that experience.”
Sullivan is “the ideal
example of an academic
military professional,” says
Richard J. Harknett, faculty
chair of the Charles Phelps
Ta Research Center.
“Since receiving his PhD, all
of his military staff positions
have involved signicant
written analysis on both
political-military affairs and
strategic issues,” Harknett
says. “He continues to
leverage his doctoral training
in political science to provide
Pentagon decision-makers
with the analytical products
of research they need to
make considered judgments
about our nation’s national
security. It is particularly
gratifying to note that Jerry
was a recipient of a Ta
Dissertation Fellow while at
UC. e University should be
proud of this graduate of the
Political Science Department,
who continues to employ
his research instincts in the
applied eld of military affairs.”
e biggest thrill for
Sullivan remains serving
on official delegations.
“It says something when your
country asks you to represent
it to another government,
and I was blessed to have that
opportunity several times
in Europe, the Caucasus,
Central Asia and South Asia,”
he says. “What’s even better
is that I will continue to get
that opportunity with the
Coast Guard.”
As for career highlights,
Sullivan said, any kind of
overseas service “has to be a
highlight, especially because
you’re taken out of the
comfort zone of what you’ve
become used to here.”
“Once you’ve had the
opportunity to live in another
country – and I don’t mean
‘visit,’ I mean live – you
realize just how good you
have it in the States,” he adds.
And in a conict-lled world,
there is always more duty
around the corner. Just this
spring, Sullivan traveled
to Stockholm, where he
met with the Ministry of
Defense and helped make
arrangements for the August
2007 plenary session of the
North Atlantic Coast Guard.
Family Matters
His family, too, keeps Sullivan
on task. Nine years aer
his career started, Sullivan
married Sharon Witkowski,
an Albuquerque native and
the daughter of a career naval
aviator who was also a Pearl
Harbor survivor. ey have
three children: Steve, 17;
Sarah, 16; and Daniel, 13.
Daniel has Down Syndrome,
and Sharon is paralyzed
in one leg. e family also
includes a sheltie, Mocha. It is
a full, busy and satisfying life
– and one where “Dad” duties
take over the minute he walks
in the door, he says.
Wherever he travels, Sullivan
concludes, the U.S. is a
magnicent place to call
home. He has no regrets for
having served it throughout
his adult life.
“My experiences have taught
me that, regardless of the
problems this country has,
it is still the best place to
claim as your citizenship,” he
says. “For all the freedoms
and advantages this country
offers, there is nothing
wrong in investing a small
part of your life back into
the country so that these
freedoms and opportunities
can continue for future
generations. A military
career can certainly lead to
opportunities and challenges
that you wouldn’t get to
experience anywhere else.
ere is also a tremendous
amount of personal
satisfaction at the end of
the day and at the end of
a career. Was it worth it?
Absolutely, and I can tell
you, that the military places
a high value on advanced
education. e Army
certainly put it to use in my
case, and the Coast Guard
continues in that tradition.”
Jerry and Sharon Sullivan
His military career has
given Jerry Sullivan
a front seat to global
happenings. Sullivan
comments on:
The woes of being a
graduate of both UC
and Xavier:
Believe it or not, the
biggest challenge is
one I have to relive
every year. During the
Crosstown Shootout,
whom do I root for?
Reinstituting the draft:
One big reason that I
think any talk of a draft is
not only wrong-headed,
and impractical, is that
a draft assumes that
everyone is cut out for
military service, and the
fact of the matter is that
everyone is not.
What UC graduates
can achieve:
Don’t take a single
minute of your UC
experience for granted.
Trust me – you can have
a global impact.

McMicken Icon Caps 36-Year Career
Dick Friedman is, as one
colleague puts it, “one of us.”
at tag is sure to stick, even
as the McMicken College of
Arts & Sciences icon retires
aer a 36-year career that
helped shape policy and
earned friends and admirers.
A McMicken assistant
dean from 1972-1989,
Friedman also served as
director of the McMicken
Honors Scholars Program
and taught philosophy
courses. Aer a 14-year
stint in UC President Joseph
Steger’s office, where he
served as special assistant to
Steger, Friedman returned
to McMicken as senior
assistant dean and director
of alumni relations.
Is there any chance he
can stroll campus without
running into someone
he knows?
“Probably slim to none,” says
Friedman, who will continue
to serve as an adjunct faculty
member in the Department
of Philosophy.
“I cannot tell you how many
people say, ‘Hey, Friedman,
you know everybody.’ I pride
myself on making an effort
to know people; it is just
me. Simply put, you cannot
really learn anything from
someone you do not know.”
e chances to learn and
grow have been many
for Friedman, who fell
in love with the Clion
campus as a 15-year-old
and earned undergraduate
and advanced philosophy
degrees. He fell in love with
his partner in life at UC, too,
while doing advanced course
work in English literature.
He and his wife, Dr. Gail
Friedman, a clinical
psychologist and former UC
adjunct professor, have been
married for 42 years.
“rough it all, more than
four decades, we have been
partners in the energy of my
life and career, or I should
say our life and career,” he
says. “Her willingness to not
only allow me to have many
commitments, but to in fact
join in those efforts, has
always been very special.
e community knows us,
my colleagues know us, my
students know us – she is
as much a member of the
Bearcat family as I am.”
Members of the “family”
praise Friedman’s passion
for his alma mater. President
Emeritus Joseph Steger says,
“Dick is a true ambassador
for the entire university and
his love for this institution is
second to none. It’s hard to
think about the university
without Dick, however, I
am very happy to know that
he will continue on in the
classroom with our students.”
Summarizing Dick
Friedman’s contributions
over the years in just a few
lines is tough, said Linda
Gervers-Conour, a 1988
A&S graduate and member
of the McMicken College
1960s to 1970s
Alumni Board. “His passion
and commitment to the
University of Cincinnati
– especially McMicken
College of Arts and Sciences
– were phenomenal,” she
says. “He has touched a
multitude of people’s lives
over several generations. He
is the ambassador for our
college and no one will ever
be able to replace him.”
Rollin Workman arrived at
UC around the same time as
Friedman – Workman as a
beginning faculty member
in philosophy and Friedman
as a philosophy major.
“I’ve never known anyone
with such an innate and
imperishable ability to
merge himself with the
thoughts and interests of
undergraduates,” Workman
says. “Dick never changed.
He can enter students’ lives
as easily and completely
today as 45 years ago. I think
everyone knows that, for
multitudes of students, Dick
was simply one of them, but
with a magical capacity to
solve their problems. I guess
the heart of what I’m trying
to convey is best embodied
in the attitude I’ve several
times earlier ascribed to
the hordes of students who
interacted with him: He’s
one of us.”
Studying philosophy
changed Friedman’s outlook
on life. at outlook, in
turn, made for a memorable
journey for a man who’ll not
be forgotten.
“e obligation of
philosophy is to make
certain that the right
questions are being asked,
so that we may determine
who, in the rest of the
world order, might help
us with the answers,” he
says. “Understanding
these matters made me
understand how I should
treat others.”
And it’s exciting, says this
“Bearcat for life,” to “know
that our students will nd
many challenges, some
similar to mine and more
important, some that I never
even dreamed about. It is
about the future and the
roles that need to be played.”

Dick Pestinger Logs Off
Back in 1963, when “high
speed” dened fast cars,
Dick Pestinger strolled the
UC campus as a student
wearing a pocket protector
and, on his belt, a 14-inch
slide rule.
is spring, he wrapped
up a 21-year career that
started in the Department of
Physics, where Pestinger was
hired in 1986 as a research
associate to design soware
and designed hardware
interfaces for applications
and experiments. e
journey ends in McMicken’s
Information Systems
department, where Pestinger
retires as director.
Pestinger’s crucial role
in helping wire the
campus evolved quickly
as technology needs
became greater. e former
computer business owner
did it all, from helping
setting up the deans’ rst email accounts to answering
how-to calls from points
campus-wide.
Pestinger’s staff and
graduate students now
manage 1,600 computers
and 10 undergraduate and
eight graduate computer
labs for more than 500
faculty and staff members in
nine buildings.
“When I got here, desktop email wasn’t even envisioned,”
says the winner of the 2005
McMicken Excellence
Award. “We’ve been doing
things on the leading edge
for years. It has gone from
simple and real hands-on
and fun to very complex
– it takes so many people
to make things work. And
even with so many areas of
expertise, we still can’t have
total control.”
e strength that most
contributed to his UC
success? Plain common
sense, says Pestinger, the
president of the Greater
Cincinnati Amateur Radio
Association.
“Computers are my life here
and at home,” he says. “e
new high-speed connections
made it possible to work into
the night from the comfort
of my home.”
And his drive made it
possible for friends and
colleagues, including
Assistant Dean for
Administration Affairs
Pat Woods, to work more
efficiently.
“Dick is a talented,
dependable, and
conscientious technology
savior with uncanny abilities
to make hardware and
soware do what they’re
supposed to do,” Woods says.

veteran, Pestinger and his

Celebrate Centennial
A lot of ground and a world
of history were covered as
the Geography and Geology
departments staged an April
25-28 centennial celebration.
And as faculty, students,
alumni and guests from
around the globe descended
on the campus, many more
memories were added to a
century’s worth of discovery
and exploration.
e four-day schedule of
events was packed with
a wide selection of eld
trips, lectures, round-table
discussions and informal
get-togethers. Speakers
included award-winning
author and journalist Simon
Winchester; Stafford lecturer
Barney Warf of Florida State
University; and Rich lecturer

member of the Association
of American Geographers,
began teaching a series of
ve courses in a combined
Department of Geology
and Geography.
Professor emeritus Laurence
G. Wolf was on staff when
separate departments were

“Many participants,
including alumni who
traveled from far and wide
to get here, told me that they
had a great time, came away
with very good feelings
about the department and
the university, and enjoyed
the variety of activities that
they participated in,” said
Arnie Miller, professor and
geology head. “I’m sure that
many of our faculty and
students can recall their
what happens,” Wolf said.
“ere were only three of
us geographers here then,
and we were all essentially
human geographers … I
discovered I was interested
in so many things. I’m the
victim of liberal education.
I’m on campus only
occasionally now, but the
department has been in good
hands with Roger Selya.”
