'Eyes of Freedom' Memorial Makes Stop This Week at UC
The University of Cincinnati will host the
memorial Jan. 25-29 in the Tangeman University Center.
The moving exhibit features 23 life-size portraits of members of the Lima Company 3/25, a Columbus, Ohio-based regiment that lost 23 Marines while deployed to Iraq in 2005.
The paintings, created by Westerville artist Anita Miller and unveiled in the Ohio Statehouse Rotunda in 2008, have since become a tribute for fallen soldiers from all military branches. The traveling exhibit regularly tours the country for exhibition at museums and events.
The exhibit is hosted at UC through the
UC Veterans Programs and Services office
. Public exhibit hours at UC are noon to 6 p.m. Monday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.
For more information, call the UC Veterans Programs and Services office at 513-556-6811.

From literature to AI: UC grad shares career path to success
April 23, 2024
Before Katie Trauth Taylor worked with international organizations like NASA, Boeing and Hershey, and before receiving accolades for her work in the generative AI space, she was in a much different industry – English and literature. Taylor earned her master's in English and Comparative Literature in UC’s College of Arts and Sciences. She completed her educational journey at Purdue University with a doctorate degree in rhetoric and composition. After working as a graduate assistant at Purdue and UC, she became a research professor at Miami University. It might seem from there that her career was set—perhaps a tenured professorship or a university administrative position. That might have been her path, but Taylor had her eyes set on different goals. So how did Taylor transition from literature and composition to tech entrepreneurship? She enjoys sharing that part of her story.
