The University of Cincinnati celebrates the tenth week of Bearcats Friday. The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics has developed a way for businesses and campus offices around the country to join in on the fun and show their pride for the University. Bearcats Fridays is scheduled to run throughout the year. Over the last ten weeks over 30 companies and 1200 employees across the country are involved in this program.
Sponsored by the UC Department of Athletics, UC Office of Trademarks, and the UC Alumni Association, Bearcats fans can participate in the fun and show support by signing up and wearing UC gear on Fridays. In addition to competing against other participating groups to show your colors with pride, registering will make you eligible to win prizes for your group and maybe even get a visit from the Bearcat himself.
The University of Cincinnati is proud to announce the winner of the tenth week of Bearcats Fridays contest is UC's College of Law. "Even though the law school has a different academic calendar (we're already on semesters and started mid-August) and we reside on the far southwest corner of campus (away from the center of UC campus action), we still have that UC spirit and like to show it. Just stop by any Bearcat Friday and you'll see. Go Bearcats!!" said Assistant Dean of Admissions & Financial Aid, Al Watson.
UC Law is 176 years old, making it the fourth oldest, continuously-operating law school in the nation. With over 5,000 living alumni, the law school has approximately 1,500 alumni practicing law in the Greater Cincinnati tri-state community alone. From day one, law students benefit from a rigorous educational program, supplemented by involvement in activities such as Law Review and other legal journal opportunities, moot court, and institute and clinical experiences. That's not all, however. UC Law students can take advantage of many options, such as involvement in student organizations, extracurricular activities, externships, and more.
