C-Ring 

C-Ring Application and Nomination Process

C-Ring is an award given each spring to the outstanding graduating senior women at UC. Selected by a diverse committee of UC faculty, staff, students and alumnae, the winner is announced at the annual event. The date for the 2008 C-Ring dinner is May 17, 2008.

First given in 1922 by the Athletics Department to the best all around gal , the C-Ring has evolved over the last 80 years to become an all-university award based on several rigorous criteria. In order to be eligible for nomination, a woman must have a minimum 3.4 Grade Point Average (GPA). The C-Ring requires the highest GPA of all the awards given by the university. The nominees must demonstrate a commitment to the betterment of our campus, community and the advancement of women. Nominations may come from any faculty or staff member. The selection committee, in addition to reviewing the nomination and an essay by each nominee, conducts a personal interview before making its final selection.

For additional information regarding C-Ring, please call  513-556-4401.
