alumni networking around a table

The UC Alumni Association annually celebrates excellence throughout our alumni family by bestowing its top awards on a select group of Bearcats — recognizing the breakthroughs they've made and the resulting impact on their university, communities and fields of endeavor.

Each year since 2021, UCAA depicts the annual class of honorees in a striking mural located at 1430 Vine Street in Cincinnati's historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. This year's edition was unveiled at the start of Alumni Week and will remain on display through March 2026.
