Leadership

A Message from the Proudly Cincinnati Campaign Co-Chairs

Many years ago, the University of Cincinnati was viewed as a very good, public, municipal college that happened to be in Cincinnati. But over the last couple of decades, we have exploded onto the national consciousness. Our programs, our people, and our campus are all first rate. And our impact—in terms of research and the brilliant people we graduate—is almost palpable across the globe.

We are leaders in interdisciplinary education, pioneers in medicine and engineering and music and design, and experts in urban renewal. We bring joy and beauty and talented employees to our region. We are among only one percent of all colleges and universities in the U.S. to achieve a historic billion-dollar milestone. And we are just getting started.

Join us and invest in Proudly Cincinnati, so we can be part of the successful future of our Tower of Strength, our Rock of Truth.
