@PrezOno Energizes Boston

UC President Santa Ono kicked off the 2nd annual #HottestCollegeInAmerica tour in Boston on August 1st with an energetic room full of alumni, prospective students, current and co-op students, parents and friends of UC. Ono started off the night with an address on the state of the University.

Among the many speakers that evening were Dean Greer Glazer from the College of Nursing and co-op student Kate Davis from the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning (DAAP). Dean Glazer spoke about the importance of grants and private support, and progress at the College of Nursing. Davis, who is currently doing her co-op in Boston, discussed what it was like to be a co-op student at UC.

The #HottestCollegeInAmerica tour has solidified and charged UC alumni networks around the country to have an even greater affinity with their alma mater. The tour is presented and coordinated by the UC Alumni Association and is named for Ono’s twitter hashtag that promotes UC as the “#HottestCollegeInAmerica” on social media.

The Boston tour stop was the first stop on the 17 city tour ending in Baltimore, Md. on June 11, 2014. Ono will travel across the country throughout the next year, hitting many major cities in order to reach as many fellow and potential Bearcats as possible. Check out photos from the event on Facebook.

Join UC Alumni Nationwide As We ‘Light The Night’ to Fight Cancer

Photo courtesy of  http://www.lightthenight.org

We learned as UC students that helping others is part of what Bearcats do.  It’s even better when we can do that together as alumni.  The upcoming Light the Night Walk for cancer is a great way to do both — an emotionally rewarding experience for everyone who joins the cause, and a tangible way to help others.  

This fall, the UC Alumni Association continues its partnership with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by offering important this community service opportunity in 14 cities across the U.S.  The LLS stages “Light The Night” fundraising walks each year, and you can join teams of UC alumni united as “Champions for Cures” to fight blood cancer — leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma.

Helping LLS also strengthens UC.  This year, LLS will fund four cancer-fighting research grants at UC, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and Hoxworth Blood Center, totaling about $2 million over the life of the grants.

Please click on a city/region near you below to learn more and participate. All walks will take place in the evening hours, with specific times and meeting locations to be provided after registration.
