Group of winners at Celebration of Black Excellence 2019

The University of Cincinnati Black Faculty Association is a formal university organization with permanent funding and support from the Office of the President and the Office of the Provost.

The formation and work of the Black Faculty Association has helped unify, increase productivity, and enhance the morale of black faculty at UC. The group has outlined a sustainability plan for the recruitment and retention of black faculty, and aims to develop programs and build research networks for UC’s black faculty to create an environment where UC is seen as a first-choice destination for black faculty and their families.
