Next Lives Here
For everyone at the University of Cincinnati, next means something different.
For a student, it might mean a co-op that offers experience designing a new bridge with an engineering firm. For a professor, it might mean a grant from the Schiff Family Foundation to develop a cancer survivorship program. For an alum, it might mean a donation that helps renovate dance studios in the Corbett Center.
But next is also what brings us together.
Because that student didn’t get there on her own—her advisor recommended the perfect co-op and the Bearcat Promise Career Studio prepared her to crush the interview. The professor won financial support on the strength of the graduate students in his lab. The alum remembers the vital importance of the arts every time she attends the Spring Youth Ballet Concert.
Next lives here because this is where we meet to build what we couldn’t alone.
That’s the legacy of the University of Cincinnati. Since 1819, people with unique talents, experiences, viewpoints, and ambitions have joined together here to unlock the future. We build on the breakthroughs of those who came before us while shaping the way for impacts yet to come.
Our story is the development of Benadryl in the 1940s and asthma research in Africa today. It’s the invention of the electric organ in the 1930s and five Grammy winners—alumni, faculty, and students—just this year. It’s the invention of cooperative learning, which began right here in 1906—and the partnerships we continue to build with leading non-profits, Fortune 500 companies, tech startups, and more.
Next lives here because we built it here. And we’re still building it. Whether we refine the work that came before us or strike boldly out in new directions, next is shaped by each of us.
And it belongs to all of us.
