UC Blue Ash College Celebrates the Best

Impressive stories of dedication, commitment and achievement were shared during Celebrating the Best, a special event recently hosted by the University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College.

The event recognized the best and brightest students at UC Blue Ash and highlighted their accomplishments over the past academic year.  “Our students work so hard all year long, it is important that we hold an event like this to shine the light on their exceptional achievements,” said Dr. Cady Short-Thompson, dean of UC Blue Ash College. “Whether it’s a student earning a 4.0 grade point average and advancing on a track to medical school, or a working parent who excelled in class and earned a scholarship that will help them stay in college, these are students who deserve to be celebrated.”

More than 420 people attended Celebrating the Best, which was held at the Sharonville Convention Center on April 5.  The evening included a formal dinner and a full program that recognized more than 200 scholarship winners, academic award winners, members of the Dean’s List, and the Honor Student of the Year candidates and winner.
