Community Works: Shaping tomorrow through inclusive excellence
Home to nearly 52,000 Bearcats across three unique campuses, the University of Cincinnati believes in shaping tomorrow through inclusive excellence. Our campus is empowered by diverse people, perspectives, and ideas. By leading with courage and compassion as well as welcoming and leveraging individual contributions, we can collaborate, create, innovate, and compete in a global society. Today, more than 315,000 living alumni count themselves as Bearcats—united by their common love of the places, people, and ideas that make up the University of Cincinnati.
Diverse ideas, approaches, people, perspectives
This past year, we welcomed our largest enrollment with a study body that’s more diverse than ever. Students of color represent 25.5% of our campus, and we have students from every state and 121 different countries around the world.
We have a motto here: Juncta Juvant. It means Strength in Unity. It means finding your community within our community. It means having the academic resources, career coaches, and classmates to set you up to thrive during your Bearcat journey and the connections for success after you leave campus.
Building a future together
Scholarship and community impact are paramount and at their finest when a diverse student body, faculty, and community of researchers use their talents, intellect, and unique perspectives to conquer real-world challenges. It may be possible to ignore a single thread, but when woven seamlessly into a multicolored, multiethnic tapestry to achieve a common goal—a community striving for excellence and pushing for what’s next—the results are future forward and unmistakably Cincinnati.
