“The success of the University of Cincinnati is highly dependent upon the vibrant and passionate engagement of its alumni, and enhancing that level of alumni engagement is our work,” said University of Cincinnati Alumni Association executive director Myron L. Hughes.

“These new and re-elected members are now part of a very strong and dedicated Board of Governors, and we are truly excited that so many outstanding and committed UC alumni have chosen to serve as our volunteer leaders. This can only enrich the UC experience for everyone in Bearcat family.”

Nancy L. Zimpher, president of the University of Cincinnati, was gratified to see the increasing excellence and diversity of the institution and its alumni body reflected in these new board members.

“UC is a nationally and internationally recognized university, drawing students from throughout Ohio and increasingly from around the world,” Zimpher said. “Likewise, our alumni make positive contributions far and wide. To represent this vast alumni family, we have a strong group of board members who bring national representation and perspectives to this extremely important group.”
