The Choose Ohio First Scholarship Program is designed to significantly strengthen Ohio’s

competitiveness within STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and

Medicine/Medical) disciplines and STEMM education.The University of Cincinnati was one of the

first of 42 public and private institutions across the state to offer the scholarships to students in

STEMM fields, and to STEMM education students Since 2008, more than 4,000 scholarships

have been awarded across the state – more than 600 of those have been at UC

On September 26, 1904, upon the suggestion of Dr Charles W Dabney, President of the

University, the Board of Directors adopted the insignia of the city of Cincinnati as the official University seal The scales, sword and Mercury’s wand on a shield, along with the motto Juncta, Juvant are mounted on a pointed ellipse surrounded by a belt bearing the words “University of Cincinnati” and the date 1819 Juncta, Juvant literally means “Things joined are a help”

(translated freely, “Strength in Unity”) In the space between the shield and the belt is a wreath of oak leaves Below the shield is a scroll with the motto Alta Petit (translated freely, “She seeks the heights”)

Academic costumes are as old as the universities themselves, recalling a time when all students

in centers of higher learning were members of the clergy, and wore garments which were

considered proper by the Church

American universities, unlike those of England and Europe, have adopted a standard code of

academic costume The Oxford-type cap or mortarboard is always black and may be made of any

material except velvet, which is reserved for doctors The tassel worn with the cap has three

variations: black for any degree; the color of the faculty in which the degree was granted; or made

of gold metallic thread, reserved for doctors and governing officials of institutions

Each person who receives a degree wears the gown appropriate to the degree granted The

bachelor’s gown is closed at the throat and has long pointed sleeves; the master’s gown has

oblong sleeves, open at the wrist, tapering at the back in a square cut, which ends in an arc

cutaway The doctor’s gown is an elaborate one, marked by velvet panels down the front and

around the neck as well as by three bars of the same material on the bell shaped sleeves It is cut

much fuller than the other gowns, and unlike them, may be ornamented in color Both the

paneling and sleeve bars may show the faculty in which the degree was awarded

The hood alone clearly shows the level of the degree, the faculty in which it was given, and the

institution which awarded it The level of the degree is shown by the size of the hood, the width of

the velvet trimming, and in the case of the doctor, by the shape The bachelor’s, master’s and

doctor’s hoods are three feet, three and one-half feet, and four feet long respectively; although

bachelor’s seldom wear hoods anymore The velvet trimming in the same order is two, three and

five inches, extending around the hood on the exposed edge For each faculty there is a

corresponding color, so a glance at the trimming is all that is needed to identify the faculty The

institution which awarded the degree is indicated by the colored lining

Members of the governing body of a college or university, whatever their degrees may be, are

entitled to wear the gown warranted by their degree or a doctor’s gown The doctor’s gown is

trimmed in black velvet or the color representative of their degree, but their hoods may be only

those degrees actually held by the wearer or those especially prescribed for them by the

institution

As students, everyone you’ve met and everything you’ve done has prepared you for the future You will begin to see your alma mater a bit differently, and feel greater ownership and pride Across many generations and UC’s 13 colleges, alumni are united through our common

experiences and passions Staying involved is the key

Preserve your connection with your college, the organizations to which you have belonged, and your friends and mentors — and cultivate your new relationship with your UC Alumni Association

We have a vibrant Young Professionals group in Cincinnati and 30+ alumni networks across the U.S

We also encourage you to help sustain our tradition of alumni giving back to the university that has made such a difference in their lives It is in this spirit that I invite you to remain engaged, be

an active ambassador, and please consider supporting UC with your time, talent and treasure Your UC experience will travel with you regardless of your personal or professional path Take everything you have learned here with you wherever you go Keep the UC traditions alive and remember always that you are a Bearcat!
