Help others through holiday giving tree assistance program
November 26, 2019
As an inclusive and supportive campus community, Human Resources, Facilities Management and Equity & Inclusion are sponsoring the second-annual UC Giving Tree Program. With the UC Giving Tree program, employees in need can discreetly submit their Wish Lists for their families. Once a family has been registered, Wish List Tags will be placed on trees at a variety of locations across campus. Individuals within the UC community can then anonymously select a tag, purchase a gift, and drop it off at a designated location.
UC professor tackles heart disease in the lab and community
December 11, 2019
It’s no secret that genetics, family history and ethnicity can play a role in heart disease. Sakthivel Sadayappan, a professor at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Medicine, has spent more than two decades examining that complex tie and discovering a genetic variant that predisposes people of South Asian descent to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, commonly known as an enlarged heart. Sadayappan uses that knowledge unearthed in the laboratory to reach members of the South Asian community through a non-profit known as Red Saree.
Cultivating connections
Finding your place in the community is a huge part of being successful in college. That's why the University of Cincinnati offers a multitude of centers, programs and services that provide support and a sense of community to historically underserved populations.
