LUCRUM Radio – Episode 14, Scott Provancher

November 17, 2008

The strength of the arts community is something that makes Cincinnati a great place to live.  The city has a breadth of artistic offerings that is on par with some of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States.  A major reason for the strong presence of the arts in the city is the Fine Arts Fund – an organization founded in the 1920’s to support and foster the growth of the arts in the community.

Scott Provancher is the current Vice President and Campaign Director for the Fine Arts Fund.  In this episode of LUCRUM Radio, Scott and I discuss the important role that the Fine Arts Fund plays in keeping the Cincinnati arts community vibrant.  Scott discusses the history of the organization, the role of the arts in the community, how technology is redefining his role and that of his organization, and why he loves to live, work, and play in Cincinnati.

Thanks to Scott for taking the time to speak with me and to share his thoughts with the world.

Celebrating 50 Years of Computing Innovation, Achievement and Leadership

September 10, 2008

Even before the arrival of UC’s first computer in 1958, UC alumni, faculty and staff had already distinguished themselves in the new world of computing. From the arts and entertainment, to medicine, business and science, UC has had a positive impact on the computing world.

The goal of this conference is to highlight these achievements and to recognize those who have played a vital role in advancing the field of computing in their respective disciplines. The conference will serve as a way for alumni to reconnect with UC, students to learn more about computing history, and faculty in all areas to see how computers have enhanced their own field of study.

The celebration kickoff begins Monday, November 10, with a reception and dinner at the Kingsgate Marriott Conference Hotel, featuring the Keynote Address delivered by Robyn Render. Tuesday, November 11, features a number of presentations by UC faculty, staff, and alumni, followed by a wine and cheese reception at the Cincinnati Observatory Center.

Listen in as Russ McMahon talks about why this history is so important to our community.  Sponsorships are still available for the conference. For more information contact Russ McMahon at russ.mcmahon@uc.edu or visit http://www.uc.edu/conferencing/Details.asp?ConferenceID=304

LUCRUM Radio – Episode 7: Pat Crowley

August 13, 2008

Once upon a time, I was a Political Science undergrad at Wright State University.  I spent countless hours reading, researching, and studying politics.  Although I ultimately chose to pursue a

career in Marketing, I am still fascinated by the political process.  So when I got the chance to interview Pat Crowley, political reporter for the Cincinnati Enquirer, I was elated.

This episode of LUCRUM radio was particularly interesting and enjoyable for me, and Pat shares some great insight about how he does his job.  He talks about the changing dynamic between the media and the consumer created by technology.  He also discusses how technology has changed the way in which he does his job.   Pat also addresses some of the ways that technology is shaping the future of the political process – very timely in this Presidential election year.

My favorite part was where Pat describes Kentucky politics as a “Contact Sport.”   Pat was so much fun to talk to, and I think that comes across in the podcast.  Thanks to him for sharing his thoughts and taking the time to participate in LUCRUM Radio.
