The 2023 edition of #GivingTuesday will be Nov. 28, as the University of Cincinnati celebrates the many ways UC makes a global impact. In its tenth consecutive year participating in the international #GivingTuesday campaign, UC is highlighting some of the compelling work that positively influences the lives of our UC community members and others around the world.
The University of Cincinnati is dedicated to investing in the Cincinnati community, and the Marian Spencer Scholarship Program is a great example. Named in honor of Marian Spencer, a trailblazing alumna and courageous civil rights champion, the program works in partnership with Cincinnati Public Schools to help make college accessible for more students. Spencer Scholars are in the top 10-15% of their graduating class, and receive funding to cover tuition, books, room and board, a study abroad service trip to Tanzania, as well as support for experiential learning and co-op positions.
“The Marian Spencer Scholarship builds a runway for underrepresented students at UC who will have an incredible opportunity to launch their academic and professional careers from our campus,” said UC president Neville Pinto. Read more about the Marian Spencer Scholarship Fund.
Hundreds of funds are available for donors to support, including the Bearcats Pantry & Resource Center, the UC Cancer Center, and the African American Cultural and Resource Center (AACRC) which has a $5,000 match this year. Gifts of $20 or more to any UC fund during the campaign will receive this year’s inaugural Big 12 Season collectible ornament. As a special offer, donors can double their impact (and double their ornaments) on Cyber Monday, Nov. 27, by making a gift of $40 or more to receive this year’s and a previous year’s ornament.
“As alumni seek to strengthen their lifelong relationship with their university, and support the students following in their footsteps, many choose #GivingTuesday to make their annual investment,” said Jennifer Heisey ’97, UC’s Chief Alumni Officer. “#GivingTuesday makes it easy to support those areas of UC we feel closest to or most passionate about. And when we come together in this way, the collective impact is tremendous.”
During this season of giving, members of the Bearcats family can show their UC pride by supporting the program that means the most to them. #GivingTuesday affords an excellent chance to make a lasting impact. Let’s #GivewithHeartUC.
