Alumni 'Unsung Heroes' Lift Up UC

UC's transformation from a great university to "premier" status – a true leader in 21st century higher education – creates opportunities to become an Unsung Hero in this ongoing success story.

There are many ways for members of the UC family to get involved:

• Join the UC Alumni Association
  It's the most fundamental way to say you care about your university, help ensure its success, and stay connected to your alma mater and UC friends.
  
  
• Refer a student to UC
  We all know students, or parents of students, who are beginning to consider their college options. As alumni, we need to be UC's best real-life ambassadors and help others see UC's all-around excellence.
  
  
• If you're an Ohio resident, put a UC license plate on your car
  The distinctive C-paw license plate shows your Bearcat pride on the road, and $25 of the annual $35 fee goes directly to fund scholarships for deserving UC students.
  
  
• Attend events with your fellow alumni
  There's always something going on at UC - on campus or nationwide via our 30+ regional alumni networks. Your participation strengthens the university community - and you're bound to have fun, too!
  
  
• Volunteer in whatever way best suits your talents and schedule
  UC's students, faculty and staff depend on alumni to be a key part of the educational process. Alumni can get involved in student mentoring and shadowing programs, student recruitment, helping to organize events like Homecoming or Reunions, coordinating regional network activities, and much more.
  
  
• Support the university by supporting the UC Alumni Association's family of corporate affinity partners
  They offer high-quality products and services, and a portion of their revenue from alumni business flows directly back to the UC Alumni Association to fund strategic initiatives.
  
  
• Spread the word about inCircle, UC's online alumni network
  The easier that Bearcats-for-life can connect with each other via inCircle, the more they can do collectively to help UC achieve its goals.
  
  
• Tell others about UC Alumni Association legacy scholarships
  Children or grandchildren of UC alumni can apply to help offset college costs.
  
  
• Contribute directly to the UC Alumni Association Scholarship Fund
  Help the next generation of Bearcats get a great UC education.
  
  
• Make sure we have your current e-mail address
  Often, our ability to help each other is a direct result of our ability to communicate quickly and easily with you.
