1960s

Jim O'Hanlon

After an MS in Psychology from CSULA in 1963, I earned a UCSB Ph.D. in Biological Science in 1970 while working for Human Factors Research Inc. (HFR), a contract research organization, where I became Vice President for R&D. In 1977, I accepted a fellowship to the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology and remained in Europe for 21 years, getting better and better jobs in the fascinating field of Psychopharmacology. In 1986, I became the first Professor of Experimental Psychopharmacology at Dutch University of Maastricht and worked there with outstanding colleagues and students until I retired back to Santa Barbara in 1998. I taught at UCSB, and was also appointed Staff Psychopharmacologist at Tri-Counties Regional Center for the Developmentally Disabled, where I still am. I monitor the effectiveness and safety of TCRC's clients' medication. Leacy and I will shortly celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary in our Solvang home with five children and nine grandchildren, all are doing fine.

Samuel R. Newcom

I attended U.C. (Berkeley and Santa Barbara) from 1961-65, but did not apply for graduation until 2005. I received my M.D. from U.S.C. in 1969 and served on the faculty at UCSF, Oregon, and Emory University. I am currently Professor of Medicine, Emeritus at Emory. As a Hematologist/Medical Oncologist my education in Psychology has been useful during multiple interactions with seriously ill patients as well as the teaching of medical students, housestaff, and community physicians. My UCSB acquired facility in handling rats and mice was quite useful in several published research experiments including the production of Rheumatoid Factor in NZB/NZW mice, grafting of leukemia cells in the brains of Nu/Nu mice, and the analysis of growth factor production and gene expression in Hodgkin’s lymphoma cells.

I’m living happily in Santa Cruz, enjoying the abundant natural beauty of the area.

David Reese

retired on February 1, 2012 as Kentucky River Senior Regional Epidemiologist serving 8 counties in Southeast Kentucky. Continue to teach online part-time as Adjunct Faculty for the Behavioral Sciences Department, Drury University, Springfield, Missouri. I continue to serve as part-time community health consultant for the University of Kentucky, Appalachian Community Cancer Network and reappointed a Assistant Professor (voluntary) with the College of Medicine and College of Public Health at the University of Kentucky. Our son Jeremy begins his third year as a surgical resident in Urology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center this summer. Our second grandson is expected later this summer.

My interest in teaching Psychology began during my undergraduate years at UCSB when I began working part-time for Dr. Walter Gogel in his Psychology Laboratory. I developed an appreciation for the scientific method and excitement for psychological research in his laboratory and in my own laboratory studies of operant conditioning with the new "Skinner Boxes" and neuropsychology research involving the hypothalamus in laboratory rats. Dr. Gogel spent a great deal of time with me during these years discussing psychology, research and some of the "big" issues of life while serving as my teacher and mentor.

Following my graduation from CSU Dominguez Hills with an M.A. In Behavioral Science in 1970 I was appointed as Instructor of Psychology from 1970-973 at Holy Names College in Oakland, California. I was one of two full time faculty members at that time and responsible for establishing the Psychology Learning Laboratory with "Skinner Boxes" and teaching all of the Experimental Psychology courses as well as the History of Psychology and Introductory Psychology.

In 1975 I earned the M.P.H. In Public Health Education at the University of California, Berkeley. I taught part time for a few years in Bay Area community colleges and then launched my 35 year public health career as Public Health Education Specialist with the District Seven Health Department in Idaho Falls, Idaho. I have since served as senior executive officer for local health departments and federally qualified community health centers in Idaho, Washington, Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky. My last eight years of service as Senior Regional Epidemiologist were with the Kentucky River District Health Department in Hazard, Kentucky.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have studied and graduated from UC Santa Barbara. These years of study helped provide a firm foundation for my professional and my personal life.
