Patrick Portway started his collegiate journey by taking night classes and working part-time as a dry cleaner delivery driver. He was in UC’s Army ROTC program and started out as a physics major before ultimately graduating with a political science degree with a concentration in Russian studies. After a career in the private sector, his early exposure to computers in the 1970s took him to major corporations like Xerox, Boeing, Satellite Business Systems, and COMSAT in telecommunications. Working for American Satellite, he sold and oversaw the implementation of satellite networks to such companies as Crocker National Bank, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. He later became the founder of TeleCon, formerly the world’s largest conference and trade show in the telecommunications field.

UC alum Ann Villalobos was undecided about joining the university’s PhD program in chemistry in 1985. She had graduated from the University of the Philippines—her home country—and gone on to the Tokyo Institute of Technology. She was looking for her next academic step when UC came onto her radar. Moving a world away to Cincinnati to further her education took some convincing for Villalobos. But she was intrigued by what the program had to offer. “I applied to the PhD program at the department of chemistry because the professors collaborate with each other to have a more meaningful, integrated research,” she said. After application, she was accepted. But she wasn’t totally convinced quite yet.
