Local 12: UC alumni honored in larger-than-life mural in OTR
Cincinnati has a new urban mural.
Local 12 covered the work, which features 19 Bearcats recognized by the UC Alumni Association. It was created by UC Blue Ash assistant professor Nicole Trimble, who is also an alumna.
The mural replaces the in-person ceremony that would have highlighted the honorees and their accomplishments.
Founder and CEO of the Jeff Wyler Automotive Family, Jeffrey L. Wyler, UC Vice Provost Dr. Christopher T. Lewis and Black Tech Women founder Anndréa M. Moore are just a few of the honorees.
The mural will remain up through Homecoming in the fall. People can check it out at 1430 Vine Street.
