2012 Distinguished Alumni Award David R. Shearman
As a 2008 UC Blue Ash College graduate, David Shearman has already distinguished himself, in the classroom and across the globe. David didn’t allow a military deployment to sideline his educational goals. Despite being called away in 2006 to serve a second tour of duty in Iraq, David returned in 2008 to complete his Liberal Arts degree at UC Blue Ash College. “He was one of those students who stand out from the first day, and then fulfills the promise with hard work and dedication,” recalls UCBA Foreign Language Department Chair, Deborah Page. After completing his program, David transferred to Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Foreign Service. He now holds the position of Veterans Office Coordinator at Georgetown University where he is working on a master’s degree in Security Studies. Beyond his educational accomplishments, David has shown tremendous distinction in serving his country, and has received numerous awards and honors associated with his military service. Most recently, he was awarded the Bronze Star for bravery, acts of merit or meritorious service. David has been awarded a Purple Heart, three Army Commendation medals, four Army Achievement medals and was named Soldier of the Month twice and Noncommissioned Officer of the Month once.
