Lindner College of Business celebrates 2019-20 outstanding students

Annual awards program recognizes student award winners virtually

The University of Cincinnati Carl H. Lindner College of Business invites the UC community to join them in recognizing and celebrating the college’s outstanding students for the 2019-20 academic school year.

Outstanding students were selected in each major and program within the college based on criteria such as classroom performance, achievements in the pursuit of experiential learning such as co-ops and internships as well as leadership in student organizations.

The in-person reception originally scheduled for March 30, 2020, was cancelled due to measures put in place by the state of Ohio and UC to protect all in the community from the spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Join in the celebration on the college’s Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram accounts, in which several award winners will be recognized daily starting on April 13, 2020.
