The University of Cincinnati made a historic transition in leadership today as Nancy L. Zimpher, PhD, began her tenure as UC’s 25th president. After an early-morning radio interview with WLW-AM’s Jim Scott, Dr. Zimpher arrived at the Clifton Avenue entrance to campus, where a crowd of hundreds of students, employees and faculty greeted her on the University Pavilion plaza as she walked into her office. Meetings, campus tours, receptions and media interviews kept her busy with a full, first-day schedule.

January 2, 2025

Each year, January marks National Blood Donor Month, a time to honor the everyday heroes who selflessly donate blood and to inspire more people to join this lifesaving cause. As the sole provider of blood products to 30+ hospitals across Greater Cincinnati, Hoxworth Blood Center, University of Cincinnati, is calling on the community to make a New Year’s resolution that saves lives: donate blood twice a year! Make it a #HoxworthHabit to donate blood or platelets on your birthday and again before the end of the year. Make a lifesaving resolution this year. To show their gratitude, all blood and platelet donors who give in January, at any of Hoxworth’s seven Neighborhood Donor Centers in Anderson, Blue Ash, Clifton, Ft. Mitchell, West Chester, Tri-County, and West as well as select mobile blood drives, will receive a pair of exclusive Hoxworth sweat pant joggers, celebrating the selflessness of blood donors who make a difference in the lives of others.
