UC Blue Ash named one of the best places to work in Greater Cincinnati
The college earns the designation in a contest among more than 200 local companies and organizations
The University of Cincinnati Blue Ash College is a recipient of the Cincinnati Business Courier’s 2021 Best Places to Work award.
Finalists for the contest were selected in August and the winners were announced by the Cincinnati Business Courier at a special event on Oct. 12 at TQL Stadium. They were also listed in the Oct. 15 print edition of the weekly business publication.
A total of 215 companies and organizations from across Greater Cincinnati submitted a nomination for the contest. From those entries, 66 finalists were selected based on results from a survey of the employees of each company or organization conducted by Quantum Workplace. It measured several key areas that make up an organization’s culture and impact its employee engagement and satisfaction.
The finalists were divided into five categories based on size, and up to three winners were selected in each category. UC Blue Ash was named as a winner in the Grand Company category for organizations with 200 or more employees.

“This is an award we share together as a college,” said UC Blue Ash Dean Robin Lightner. “It is a testament to the exceptional work our faculty and staff do every day to support our students, our mission and each other. It’s why we have such a collaborative and caring environment on our campus, and it’s why UC Blue Ash is a really special place to teach, work and learn.”

Director of Public History Rebecca Wingo’s work with the Wyandot Nation began with a misleading historical marker. Wingo was working on learning more about Native American history in preparation for an undergraduate Native American History course when she came upon a historical marker about the Wyandot tribe in Sandusky, Ohio. “The Wyandot were the last tribe removed from the state of Ohio in 1843,” Wingo says. “But the historic marker says the ‘departure’ of the Wyandot, and that they went on a one week ‘journey’ to Cincinnati, where they boarded steamboats and headed out to Kansas City which, at the time, was called Wyandotte City because they owned it.
