UC alumni discover a love that lasts at UC

Bearcat love stories are as unique as the couples who live them. They can begin with a sports activity or a social function. They can take root when a relative steps in to facilitate a pairing that clearly is meant to be. Or, in a once-in-a-million stroke of luck, they can begin when someone says hello to “the girl next door.” As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, four alumni couples share their Bearcat love stories—personal tales of romance, devotion and continued engagement with UC.

UC teams with historic landmark to preserve the past for the future

February 6, 2026

But once spring rolls around, it will show a transformation, thanks in part to the history department at UC’s College of Arts and Sciences. The Beecher Stowe House, located at 2950 Gilbert Ave., serves as a hub for the community and historians interested in the life and political activism of the famed abolitionist. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote the groundbreaking “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” while living there, and the home was a stop for fugitive enslaved people on the Underground Railroad prior to the Civil War.
