Bearcats Bonding Week

University of Cincinnati Parent and Family Programs

At UC, all students agree to the Bearcat Bond: “As a member of the University of Cincinnati, I will uphold the principles for a Just Community and the values of respect, responsibility, and inclusiveness. I will promote the highest levels of personal and academic honesty and aspire continuously to better myself, the Bearcat community, and the world." From September 10–14, we will kick-off the academic year with Bearcats Bonding Week — an exciting opportunity for students to learn more about the Bearcat Bond, connect with the university community, and grab some giveaways!
