FROM THE DIRECTORDear Friends of LindnerHonors-PLUS,Dr. Jeri RickettsExecutive DirectorLindner Honors-PLUS and AssociateProfessor Emeritus of AccountingWe hope you enjoy reading thispast academic year’s Annual Report(2016–2017), which includes entertainingand informative articles, many writtenby our students and alumni. Theirstories about the international programto Asia, student’s careers and livesafter graduation, and the excitingimprovements to the Lindner HonorsPLUS experience are sure to bring backgreat memories for some of you, andsmiles for the rest.Our amazing academic and careeradvisor, Judy Magazine, placed everyfreshman in a great summer internship,as she has done every year sincethe program began—batting 1000!Our seniors accepted impressive jobopportunities with firms such as EY,Bloomberg, IBM, 5/3, Amend Consulting,Procter & Gamble and more—from LosAngeles to New York City and Boston—and of course here in the greatest city ofall: Cincinnati.Our international program to Asiaincluded destinations common to formerprograms in Asia: Hong Kong, Beijing,Singapore and Shanghai, but also to thenew destinations of Chiba, Japan and HoChi Minh City, Vietnam. We met up withalumni on the trip: Todd Staley (’06) inHong Kong at Pimco, Dominic Berardi(’07) in Ho Chi Minh City at ShorelightEducation, and Nancy Gannon Boyle (’07)in Singapore at Nestle.One exciting new initiative westarted at the beginning of 2017 was apartnership with Adopt-a-Class here inthe Cincinnati public elementary schools.4Carl H. Lindner College of Business Carl H. Lindner Honors-PLUSEvery student in LHP participates inan inter-LHP class group of about 12students, forming 10 “families.” Each familyadopts an elementary classroom and visitsthem for an hour or so once a month,planning classroom activities and buildingrelationships with the students. It’s greatto have a focused LHP philanthropiceffort, and what better cause thaneducation? Our families also help theolder LHP students get to know theyounger students, imparting their wisdomconcerning career choices, studentorganizations and academic advice.Our Lindner Honors-PLUS AdvisoryBoard added a new standing CurriculumCommittee in the spirit of continuouslyimproving our students’ academicexperience, and the entire boardpitched in to ensure we had an amazingturnout at our Leadership Legacy Eventin September, compliments of Joe andLorraine Mayernik, and Lou and JoanieLauch. The event raised almost 800,000in pledges toward our 2.5 million goalto fund an endowment to guarantee theresource support for quality, consistentleadership for LHP in the future. Thankyou to all of you who attended, or whopledged your financial support evenwhen you weren’t able to attend. It is sogratifying for all of us here in the college,who have worked to build LHP over thelast two decades, to see all of our hardwork, and all of the hard work of ouralumni, students, their parents, and ourother generous donors being recognizedwith the enthusiastic support we received.LHP continues to build a solid financialfoundation which will ensure evengreater success in the future. About 2/3of our annual expenses are for studentscholarships. The other 1/3 supportoperating expenses (compensationand benefits, special events, recruiting,support for the domestic andinternational programs, etc.). About 2/3of our funds come from endowmentincome or spendable gifts, the other 1/3comes from UC. My goal is for LHP tobe completely funded by endowmentincome and annual gifts. To reach thatgoal our total endowments need to growto 25 million dollars (we have just overhalf of that now), and 500,000 a year inspendable gifts. I know we can get there.Most of all, thank you for being ambassadors for LHP, for the Lindner College ofBusiness, and for the University of Cincinnati. We have so much to be proud of, andso much to be thankful for as we moveinto our third decade! Please, keep intouch and let us know how we can returnthe support we’ve received from you.Warmest Regards,JeriI did some investigation, and lookingat the top 10 US universities in terms oftheir percent of alumni giving, PrincetonUniversity tops the list at 63%, andAmherst College comes in tenth at 47.9%.LHP has approximately 400 alumninow, and in the 2016–2017 fiscal year,148 alumni gave back to the program,yielding a 37% giving rate. If another44 alumni gave back (three more fromevery class), our giving rate for LHPwould be equivalent to the top ten levelnationally—a goal that I think is entirelyreachable. Whether it’s a small gift everymonth on your credit card, or you’vecashed in big and want to endow yourvery own scholarship, we need yoursupport to grow the program and giveour current students the experiences andknowledge that are a hallmark of LHP.Thank you to the dozens of you who havedonated consistently, since you graduated,or have become new and enthusiasticdonors. Thank you also to those of youwho have supported us by arrangingcompany visits, by hiring or mentoringour students, or by participating inour interview process for incomingfreshmen—all of these contributions areneeded and appreciated.Carl H.

Lindner Honors-PLUS Program is a unique andchallenging honors program within the Carl H. Lindner Collegeof Business at the University of Cincinnati. This 5-year, cohortbased program incorporates a demanding business honorscurriculum, an enhanced, six semester, paid co-operative education program, a 10 day domestic study program, a 5 weekintensive international study abroad program, widespreadbusiness exposure and deliberate leadership training. Thesecomponents, along with an active partnership with the Cincinnati business community, provide an unparalleled undergraduate business education, which prepares students for longterm success in their careers and their lives outside of work.The emphasis of the program is not solely academic, butalso stresses work ethic, integrity, good citizenship, leadershipskills and communication skills. Although students acceptedto the program possess exceptional academic records, theirselection is also predicated on demonstrated involvement inextracurricular activities which may include athletics, studentgovernment, school publications, volunteer and service activities, and other evidence of leadership and a desire to give backto their institutions and communities.8Carl H. Lindner College of Business Carl H. Lindner Honors-PLUSThe program’s goal is development of the PLUS criteria:Promise as a business professional; Leadership in school andcommunity activities; Understanding of the global marketplaceand diverse cultures; and Success through talent, commitment,dedication, and effort. Thanks to the generous contributionsof Carl H. Lindner Jr., The Procter & Gamble Company, EYand many other corporate and individual donors, all LindnerHonors-PLUS students receive merit scholarships sufficient tocover in-state tuition.Lindner Honors-PLUS includes honors coursework in written and oral communication skills, interviewing skills, and business etiquette. Honors seminars also cover business ethics,the history of American business, entrepreneurship skills andcharacter-based leadership. Lindner Honors-PLUS studentsare active campus and community leaders as well.Lindner Honors-PLUS graduates are recognized for theiracademic preparation, their extensive work experience, theirwork ethic, and the exposure they have had to global business.The well-rounded education they receive has resulted in ourgraduates being placed in prestigious graduate programs, andfinding rewarding careers upon graduation. Their balancedpreparation in analytical and soft skills positions them well topursue many divergent opportunities after their time at UC.In the fall of 1997, twenty incomingfreshmen were welcomed into theinaugural class of the Lindner HonorsPLUS program. Selected based on theirexemplification of the PLUS criteria,these twenty students came to campusand began leaving their mark on theprogram, the university, and the greaterCincinnati community. Year after year,another twenty or so students joinedthem. Fast forward to today: we have asizable network of alumni and studentswith a growing list of achievements andimmeasurable impact to the program,university, and the greater Cincinnaticommunity.I am so proud to be a member of thisnetwork, and I’m excited to serve as theAdvisory Board Chairperson for the nexttwo years.The Advisory Board continues tobe focused on providing advice andassistance to the leadership of the LHPprogram. This includes the StrategicPlanning Process, which has been apriority the last few years. In May, theBoard approved an updated Missionand Vision statement for the program:Mission: Be on the cutting edge ofundergraduate business educationto retain the best and brightest highschool graduates in the Cincinnati areafor college and enable them to have ameaningful, long-term impact on theCincinnati community.You’ll notice the mission looksfamiliar, as we built upon the originaleffort to keep Mr. Lindner’s vision centerto the program. We’ve added ‘cuttingedge’, which differentiates us fromother college programs & enables us topush the traditional boundaries neededto meet the business world’s dynamicdemands. We’ve also clarified ‘Cincinnaticommunity’ to describe where ourstudents and graduates impact will befelt. While the addition of ‘community’may seem small, I want to emphasizeits importance. Community has abroad meaning here, and will includeimpact to Cincinnati based businesses,the Cincinnati civic community, theUniversity of Cincinnati, among otheraspects of the community. Particularlyimportant is that there are many waysto have an impact on a community,whether you are physically located inthat community or not.strive to embody, but the capital letteredwords call out important descriptions ofwho we are as a program.This is quite a year for LHP, friends!As we celebrate the 20th incoming LHPclass, I want to thank you all for yourcontinued involvement and investmentin and with the Lindner Honors-PLUSprogram.

Additionally, we were introduced todifferent individuals and companies, andwere given the opportunity to expand ourbusiness network. Our company visits varied greatly, each from different industries,and each having a different work culture.With our spare time, we were also able tolearn about the history and experiencethe different lifestyles of each city with ourclassmates. Overall, each city we visitedwas an eye-opening experience and hascreated long-lasting memories.Prior to visiting Washington D.C., acareer in politics never crossed my mind.Our visits in D.C. allowed our class to learnabout the differences between the privateand public sector and we were also ableto gain great insight on the various issueswe covered this semester in our businessethics class. I thoroughly enjoined eachone of our visits in D.C., but my favoritevisit was with Senator Sherrod Brown’sstaff. This visit gave me a great insight onour host’s careers, and the steps they tookto begin a career in politics. When visitingSenator Brown’s Staff, I was amazed bythe number of staffers that worked for theSenator and the different committees theyparticipated in. Gideon, a policy advisor forSenator Brown, was able to provide greatinsight on the numerous questions weasked regarding the 2008 financial crisis,and I also admired the passion he hadwhen answering questions. Additionally, Ithought the atmosphere was incredible.In addition to our visits, I fell in love withthe city. When in D.C., one is completelysurrounded by beautiful monuments,bringing the history of the United Statesto life. My classmates and I, exploredas many museums and monuments wecould, and by the end of the trip we wereleft in awe from the historic landmarks wevisited and developed a great appreciationfor Washington D.C.New York City truly is a limitless city,where anything is possible. I admired thediversity of the city and the numerous cultures and ethnic backgrounds that wererepresented. Furthermore, I was astounded by the number of different companiesand industries that have offices in NewYork. With so many companies, there is alot of opportunity to become successfulin the city. Similarly to the cultures of eachcity, our company visits also varied greatly.Our visits in New York City mainly focusedon companies in different sectors of theconsulting industry and the banking industry. My two favorite company visits wereJefferies and BTS Consulting. Meeting withformer LHP alumnus, Robel Kidane, atJefferies LLC was an amazing experience.Seeing a former LHP student in a top-tierindustry was very moving and inspiring formy classmates and me. In addition to Jefferies, BTS has also sparked an interest ina potential career in consulting. The workculture at BTS seemed to be very casualand relaxed, yet consisted of very hardworking employees. Additionally, our visitwith BTS was very engaging and I becamevery intrigued with the various companies and the various countries wheretheir practice exists. In our free time, wetook advantage of every minute exploringNew York. From the stunning and natural beauty of Central Park, to the surrealexperience of visiting the 9/11 memorial,New York City is full of endless and timeless adventures that I was lucky enough toundergo with my LHP classmates.Overall, the domestic trip was anincredible experience. Our cultural excursions and company visits collectively introduced a different perspective and revisedoutlook on the endless career paths andpotential industries where we can beginour careers. Personally, the domestic triphas opened my eyes and changed my perspective about Washington D.C. and NYC,and has motivated me to continue to coop outside of Cincinnati to gain a broaderperspective of the United States.Carl H.

INTERNATIONAL TRIPINTERNATIONAL TRIPSINGAPORECHIBAby Jay Brannan“Uh guys look at the map. It’s all intranscript,” someone calls back as the restof us fumble with our yen and attempt tobuy subway passes. We were all groggyfrom our 15 hour flight to Tokyo, buteager to get out and explore the city.We had just set our bags down at ChibaUniversity, the fourth largest Universityin Japan, where we would be staying andtaking classes for a week. Chiba is aboutan hour outside downtown Tokyo by train,and after a couple missed stops and alot of help from locals, we arrived in thecity center of one of the most prominentcities in the world.We were amazed by the bright lights,hustle and bustle, and the sheer amountof people walking the streets of Tokyo.This was our first experience in Asia, andit set the tone for the rest of the trip. Rightaway we experienced with the local foodand saw the sights around Toyko such asthe Imperial Palace, the Meiji Shrine, andthe Shibuya Crossing. There were modernsky scrapers and historic landmarks fromJapan’s rich history. By the end of theweekend we were exhausted, but eager tostart our coursework at Chiba University.12Our first class on Monday morningwas a Japanese language course. Thisproved to be very helpful for our weekat Chiba. We learned valuable phrasessuch as “good morning” (pronouncedOhio), how to order food, “thank you,” and“excuse me.” As 25 loud Americans—usually lost and confused—we used“excuse me” quite a bit.As you can imagine as 25 loudAmericans we had to use “excuse me”very frequently.We also spent a lot of time learningabout Japanese economic development.Our professor, Ichido, is a worldrenowned economist. His insights andown personal research on the Asia-Pacificeconomy were fascinating and stuck withus for the rest of the trip. We first had tolearn about Japanese culture since it isso closely tied to the economy. It turnsout the klan system is very relevant stillsince four families own conglomeratesthat control about 80% of Japanesebusinesses. Current Japanese monetarypolicy, nicknamed Abenmoics, also hasheavy ties to Japanese culture. The threemain pillars that are in place to increaseCarl H. Lindner College of Business Carl H. Lindner Honors-PLUSconsumer demand are called the “threearrows,” which is a reference to an ancientsamurai proverb in which the main pointis that a single arrow can easily be broken,but all three arrows together cannot bebroken.The staff and Mothers’ Club at ChibaUniversity went above and beyond toensure that we got a taste of Japaneseculture. We did a sushi rolling class,participated in a traditional Kimono,and took a calligraphy class. Theseexperiences left lasting impressions andmade us all appreciate Japanese cultureeven more. The entire week peoplegreeted us with smiles and made us feelat home. After a graduation ceremonyand a farewell dinner, it was time to headoff to Beijing. I will always remember mytime in Japan, and I have no doubt I willreturn in the future.SHANGHAIby Sam BurchellRounding out the trip of a lifetime, ourclass had the privilege of spending fivedays in Singapore. The country was filledwith western influences and served as amuch-needed taste of home towards theend of our journey. Stepping out of theairport and into the Singaporean humidity, we were all relieved to breathe easy inthe absence of heavy smog that engulfedmany of our previous destinations. Thecleanliness of the city came at no shockto our class, given that the acts of chewing gum in public or drinking water on thesubway were punishable by heavy finesand even caning. Free from the smog andout of trouble for the moment, our classhad the opportunity to explore the thirdwealthiest country in the world and trulyexperience life as an expat.The first thing on our agenda was tocool off, so naturally we headed straightto the beaches of Sentosa, which is only a20-minute drive from the city center. OurUber driver provided us with t
