At the University of Cincinnati, we know our greatest ambassadors are the people who’ve experienced UC firsthand. Whether you're an alum, a current student, a parent or a proud supporter, your voice carries weight. When you share your UC story, it resonates in a way no advertisement ever could. Word-of-mouth isn't just powerful — it’s personal. And it’s one of the most meaningful ways future Bearcats discover where they truly belong.
A Personal Invitation into the Bearcat Community
Referring a future Bearcat is more than a recommendation — it’s a personal invitation into a community that lasts a lifetime. As a UC alum or advocate, you know that being a Bearcat doesn’t end at graduation. It’s a lifelong bond built on shared experiences, pride and a commitment to lift each other up. When you refer someone to UC, you're not just helping them find a college — you're welcoming them into the Bearcat family, where they’ll belong for life.
