Mugs and coasters available while supplies last
Bring non-perishable food items (non-expired, non-glass), hygiene products, school supplies, and other necessities for the Bearcats Pantry and Resource Center (BCP) and receive the 2021 Holiday Mug! Supplies are limited.
BCP provides free food, hygiene items and cleaning supplies to students with food and other insecurities. Learn about most needed items** and view the Bearcats Pantry video. If you can't make it to the Open House, consider making a donation to BCP via their Amazon wish list, or a financial gift to the Bearcats Pantry Support Fund.
**BCP has an abundance of canned corn, green beans and peeled sliced potatoes; however, the needed items list has many other options.

Our hottest new item will be a perfect gift for Bearcats fans

Need gifts for special events, awards, donors or colleagues?
Special order items available at a 20% UC department discount when purchased in bulk. Call 513-556-1700 or send a request to bookstore@uc.edu.
* Present your UC ID at checkout to receive your discount. Beginning July 1, minor changes were made to the faculty/staff 15% discount. Rather than stacking the 15% discount on top of a sale or clearance price, the item will be discounted at the higher rate. For example, a sweatshirt marked down 25% would be rung in at the sale price; or on the other end, a gift item marked down 10% would be given the 15% discount. Excludes course materials, computer hardware and software, Apple products, gift cards, and purchases at campus convenience stores.

Because it’s difficult to understand and diagnose, there are a lot of misconceptions about endometriosis.
