The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's 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 three months, 35 companies and over 6,200 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 this week's Bearcat Friday is the UC Office of Admissions. "It seemed more than appropriate that the Office of Admissions participate in BEARCAT FRIDAYS with the Athletic Office for a couple of reasons… 1) we already show our UC Bearcat spirit by wearing red and black EVERY Friday and 2) our jobs in Admissions are to recruit students to attend UC and also to inspire students to find the right college or program. WE ARE ALL UC and we like to make sure everyone feels a sense of community when they visit. By wearing red and black, our visitors can't help but realize they're at UC!" - Danielle Mendelson, Admissions Officer.
From the time students first think about college to their first day of class, prospective students go through several phases of activity. The Office of Admissions is here to help every step of the way. Located in University Pavilion on the University of Cincinnati Main Campus, we serve freshman, international undergraduate, and transfer students seeking admission to the university. For more information visit http://www.admissions.uc.edu or call (513) 556-1100.
