Exploring the first-generation college student experience through the lens of one Cincinnati family, the profile’s purpose is to illuminate the excitement and trepidation experienced by first-gen students, but also lend hope to a reader who, due to their own life experiences, might think of college as unattainable.

Published research from the College of Medicine that found adding blueberries to the daily diets of certain middle-aged populations may lower the chances of developing late-life dementia. Positioned as a simple but effective proactive step people can take for their health, the story resulted in tens of thousands of views and national media coverage.
Since the story ran in 2022, the UC research team found similar results with strawberries.
The UC Foundation and Alumni Association earned two CASE Best of District V Awards for fundraising.
