The University of Cincinnati has pioneered bold change for over 200 years. Our strategic direction, Next Lives Here, is meant to disrupt academia’s conventional ways of thinking and doing, to define our next 200 years. We intend to use this vision to ignite the curiosity of our students, inspire our faculty and staff and unleash ingenuity to create an inclusive environment that provides freedom to learn, explore and innovate.

The bedrock of our mission is our commitment to student success. To accelerate success and graduate impact-driven leaders, we must attract, invest in and celebrate the people who comprise UC.
