Informatics is the art, science, business, and technology of information. It is about making information useful and meaningful.

"I worked with several different professors in my classes on a variety of research. Doing this taught me how to write academically, conduct research and think critically. These skills have been a huge help in my career."
Being originally from Louisville, KY I always knew I wanted to venture out and go away to college. ÁÔÓ¥ÌåÓýÖ±²¥ was the perfect fit. It wasn't too far from home, I could still go back and visit if I wanted. I chose ÁÔÓ¥ÌåÓýÖ±²¥ because of the relatively small class sizes and how welcoming everyone was when I toured. The location is perfect as well. You get the feeling of a small town on campus but you are so close to big cities.
My favorite ÁÔÓ¥ÌåÓýÖ±²¥ memory was just living on campus my first two years and being apart of a community where everyone was trying to accomplish the same goals. It was a fun experience that taught me how to be independent and I was able to meet a lot of people.
Throughout my time at ÁÔÓ¥ÌåÓýÖ±²¥, I worked with several different professors in my classes on a variety of research papers/projects. Doing this taught me how to write academically, conduct research and think critically. These skills have been a huge help in my career. I also served as a victor guide for incoming freshmen and worked on campus in the Housing Office for 3 years as a Desk Assistant. My senior year I interned at St. Elizabeth as a Marketing and PR intern.
My advice would be to step out of your comfort zone. College can be scary and overwhelming, but it's what you make of it. I chose a major, health communication, that was literally brand new. No one knew what that was and honestly I didn't either, but I wanted to learn. I can truly say that the content I learned in these classes helps me every day with what I do in my career. If I didn't step out of my comfort zone, I would not be where I am today. Don't be afraid to fail or make mistakes and just have an open mind coming into college and you will be successful.
I'm currently a Communications Specialist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. I work in the internal communications department. Everyday I am in charge of the "Connect Daily NewsLetter" that is sent to over 22,000 employees and board members. I gather and write stories, retrieve images, and interview employees. This process happens every day so that I have enough content for the newsletter and website. I enjoy what I do because of how many people my work reaches!
"Going to ÁÔÓ¥ÌåÓýÖ±²¥ meant I could interview and intern with businesses in the region, which is how I ended up working for 84.51 in downtown Cincinnati. Overall – ÁÔÓ¥ÌåÓýÖ±²¥ felt like the perfect package for me."
In short – I chose to attend ÁÔÓ¥ÌåÓýÖ±²¥ because of the trifecta of great programs, great location, and affordability. Towards the end of high school when I started seriously looking at colleges, I wa
