Celebrate the Spirit of Homecoming with #UCStrengthInUnity

The UC Alumni Association invites you to join a social media challenge

Since Homecoming activities have been virtualized in 2020, the UC Alumni Association is hosting a #UCStrengthInUnity social media challenge. The "Strenth in Unity" motto comes from the university seal originally created in 1904.

Throughout the month of October, we invite you to participate in a number of social media challenges – opportunities to show off your pride in the Bearcat community and be entered to win “Strength In Unity” shirts for your whole crew!


Why Strength in Unity? 

Strength In Unity, or "Juncta Juvant," is more than just the University of Cincinnati's motto. It's a way of life.

It describes how and why Bearcats can pull together, innovate and succeed in the face of challenges. Strength in Unity is our “secret sauce” because we have more fun, create more change, and make more of an impact when we do it together.



Win Homecoming Swag

Here's what you do:

1. Share a UC memory using the hashtag #UCStrengthInUnity each Tuesday in October.

2. Tag @uofcincyalumni.

3. One lucky Bearcat will win shirts for his/her crew!
