The University of Cincinnati celebrates this 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 Ameriprise Financial Services! The Bearcat mascot took a trip to West Chester on Friday, February 24th to visit employees at Ameriprise Financial Services.
"Wow! What a great Bearcat week. It started off with an outstanding home game victory by the UC basketball team over Louisville late Thursday night and a surprise office visit by the Bearcat himself for my birthday on Friday afternoon," said Barry Shelley, Private Wealth Advisor for Ameriprise Financial. "That was the biggest birthday surprise I've had since I was a little kid and that was back when Oscar Robertson was leading the Bearcats basketball team. The Bearcat also brought me a bag full of surprises that made my birthday very special."
