Nominate an Outstanding Undergraduate Woman for the C-Ring
First given in 1922 by the Athletics Department to the best all-around female undergraduate athlete, the C-Ring has evolved over the last 87 years to become an all-university award based on several rigorous criteria.
The C-Ring is an award presented each spring to the outstanding graduating senior women at the University of Cincinnati. Selected by a diverse committee of UC faculty, staff, students and alumnae, the recipient is announced at the annual event in May.
In order to be eligible for nomination, a woman must have a minimum 3.4 Grade Point Average. The nominees must also have demonstrated a commitment to the betterment of our campus, community and the advancement of women. Faculty, staff or alumni may nominate students for this honor.
After
receiving the C-Ring in 2008, Amy Schlegel
went on to serve a wider community through the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC). While still a student at UC, Amy organized a nonprofit organization to help Myanmar residents affected by cyclones.
"One of the exciting things about the C-Ring each year is the personal stories we get to hear. I find it very motivating when I, as a staff and faculty member, hear what these young women are doing even while still students," says Barb Rinto, director of the UC Women's Center. "Imagine the effect all these C-Ring recipients and nominees are having on the world when they graduate."
For additional information regarding C-Ring, please call 513-556-4401 or visit the UC Women's Center Web site and click on "C-Ring." Or stop in the Women's Center itself and you won't have to click on anything.

From literature to AI: UC grad shares career path to success
April 23, 2024
Before Katie Trauth Taylor worked with international organizations like NASA, Boeing and Hershey, and before receiving accolades for her work in the generative AI space, she was in a much different industry – English and literature. Taylor earned her master's in English and Comparative Literature in UC’s College of Arts and Sciences. She completed her educational journey at Purdue University with a doctorate degree in rhetoric and composition. After working as a graduate assistant at Purdue and UC, she became a research professor at Miami University. It might seem from there that her career was set—perhaps a tenured professorship or a university administrative position. That might have been her path, but Taylor had her eyes set on different goals. So how did Taylor transition from literature and composition to tech entrepreneurship? She enjoys sharing that part of her story.
