Priorities

UC's strategic direction, Next Lives Here, outlines an inventive framework designed to drive student curiosity, drive discovery, and create an inclusive environment that transforms how we teach and learn, conduct research, serve, and care for others.

UC has been called a "research heavyweight" and "one of America's top public research universities." In fact, the university has nearly 200 years of history as a research pioneer. UC scientists invented the world's first electronic organ, antihistamine, heart-lung machine and oral polio vaccine.

From time to time, the University of Cincinnati must establish a search committee to identify candidates and then hire an individual to fill a vacant provostal or decanal position.
