The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's Bearcat Friday!
The Bearcat mascot took a trip to The University of Cincinnati's Blue Ash campus on Wednesday, October 3rd to spread school spirit and get everyone excited about the Homecoming game against Miami! Students, faculty and staff stopped outside Muntz Hall in between classes where they were entertained by the UC Band, the Bearcat mascot and Lucy. This was the second year for the event and it was a huge success. Students played games, ate popcorn and took pictures with the mascot.
"The 2012 UC Blue Ash College Homecoming Pep Rally on was great this year. It was truly an "I Love Lucy" Homecoming event with the participation of the UC Bearcat Mascot, the UC Pep Band, and Lucy the Bearcat from the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens. The UC Bearcat Mascot is always welcome at UCBA to help us add that UC spirit to our campus events," said Gwen Dean, Program Coordinator at UCBA.
UCBA, a regional campus of the University of Cincinnati, is located on 135 wooded acres in the heart of Blue Ash. UCBA, formerly known as Raymond Walters, opened in 1967 and now offers more than 60 associate degrees and certificate programs. UCBA is an open admission institution, providing access to higher education to anyone that has a high school diploma. For more information regarding UC Blue Ash, please visit www.ucblueash.edu
