HAPPY NEW YEAR! 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 over 35 companies and 6200 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.
This week's winner of BEARCATS FRIDAYS is University Park Apartments. "We felt being a part of Bearcat Friday's was a fantastic opportunity to show our pride for the Bearcats and to a University Community that has been extremely supportive and fantastic to work with. We are proud to be apart of a history making year for the football team and look forward to showing our pride at home Basketball games," says Laura Walter, Community Manager of University Park Apartments.
