Goal 1: Place Students at the Center

Tuition Freeze – For the first time since 1977, UC approves a zero percent increase in undergraduate tuition and non-instructional fees as a result of a statewide compact generating increased state funding in return for university cost-cutting.
Free Rides – UC's partnership with Metro provides free and environmentally friendly transportation for students, faculty and staff, resulting in more than 100,000 rides in the program's first months and nearly 2,000 UC riders per day on weekdays.
Unlocking the Tool Box – The new Advisor's Tool Box puts important tools at advisors' fingertips to enhance student guidance.
First Class Dining – Food Management magazine selects UC's CenterCourt as one of the three "Best New Facilities" in a national competition among food service operations in colleges and universities, business dining, health care, K-12 schools, museums, and sports and entertainment venues.
Lighting Up Uptown – UC students and staff work with City of Cincinnati to gain more lighting around Bearcat Transportation System shuttle stops.
Called to Serve – The president's Cabinet expands to include student representation – presidents of both the undergraduate and the graduate student goverance associations.
