Greetings from the President
I believe deeply in the transformative power of education, and the University of Cincinnati certainly lives out that ideal every day. UC is committed not only to transforming the lives of our students through education, but also to transforming education through the continual improvement of the academic enterprise and to transforming the world through the ongoing discovery of new knowledge.
Our exciting campuses, from Uptown Cincinnati to Blue Ash and Clermont County, brim with opportunity and chances to grow. A broad range of programs offer excellent academic pathways for our diverse student body of 42,400, as well as varied avenues to put new knowledge to the test on real-world challenges. As the founding place of co-operative education, UC has a long tradition of putting theory into practice.
One of the greatest assets that sets UC apart from thousands of other colleges and universities is our immense capacity as a major research university. UC stands among an elite group of 96 universities with “very high research activity” as classified by the Carnegie Foundation. UC also ranks among our nation’s top 25 public research universities.
Another quality that defines UC is our urban location. Forbes has named our campus one of the world’s most beautiful. Our location also presents us with an abundance of opportunities to fulfill our commitment to community. The city and the region that surround us represent an enormously rich array of activities to enhance the learning experience and to become involved in service.
UC’s distinguished faculty, supportive staff, excellent student body, and many generous alumni and friends care greatly about this university. Together, we see potential to achieve ever-new heights – for our university, our nation and the world.
At UC, we choose not to be complacent. As a university, we know that change and growth are constants, and we always search for ways to enhance discovery and improve lives.
Gregory H. Williams
President
