Alumni Spotlight

UAH engineering alumnus Emory Eledui creating magic everyday »

If Emory Eledui (’11, BSE, ME) had listened to all the naysayers, he would have blown "the best career decision ever."

The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) mechanical engineering alumnus is director of Research and Development (R&D) at Holtz Leather Company in Huntsville. "At the time, people said I was ‘throwing away my career’ to take this job, but it’s the best professional decision I’ve ever made. Working in the entrepreneurial environment of the company has strengthened my drive to innovate."

Student's research shows that video games offer a new way to tell very old stories »

Given its reputation as "part Comic-Con and part academic conference," Pioneer Con proved the perfect venue for Melissa Guerrero to share her research comparing medieval Robin Hood texts to the popular Japanese role-playing video game Persona 5. "It's like a 'nerd' conference, so it's less formal than your typical academic conference," laughs Guerrero, who will graduate from The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) with her master's degree in English this spring. "It fits within my realm of interest."

Student's vibrant murals give UAH's Early Learning Center an infusion of color »

Of all the animals that Theresa Cordier has painted to brighten up the wall of the Early Learning Center (ELC) on the campus of The University of Alabama in Huntsville, her favorite is the octopus. "I thought he was going to be easy, but he lied to me - he took me a week to paint!" laughs the Madison, Ala., native. "When you look really closely, octopuses are not one color. And the more I got into it, he went from orange to pink. It was just challenging, and so the way he turned out made me happy."
