The University of Cincinnati celebrates last week's Bearcat Friday Winner!
The University of Cincinnati Athletic Department developed a way for campus offices and businesses around the country to join in on the fun and show their Bearcat spirit!
This week's Bearcat Friday Winner is the University of Cincinnati Provost Office! The Bearcat mascot took a trip across UC's Main Campus to Van Wormer Hall to visit the employees at the Provost Office. As the Bearcat entered the first floor rotunda, employees cheered him on and were excited about his arrival! The employees were dressed in their red and black and were proud to show off their Bearcat spirit. Everyone was so excited to have the opportunity to take pictures with the Bearcat during their lunch break and the Bearcat even got to sit at Provost Santa Ono's desk!
"Everyone in the Provost Office was thrilled that I was the winner of this week's Bearcat Friday! The employees were so excited that the Bearcat made an appearance and he really helped pump everyone up for the upcoming football game!" said Susan Jenkins, Assistant to Associate Sr. Vice President of Business and Financial Affairs.
