1819 Campaign Impacts Rankings, Value of UC Degrees Margaret Wolf, Director of Development
The percentage of alumni who donate to UC each year (currently only 11%, which is 13th in the Big East Conference) influences the university’s U.S. News & World Report ranking. Through the new 1819 initiative, alumni can help UC rise in the rankings. In fact, it’s a high priority for UC President Greg Williams and a specific “call to action” within the new UC2019 strategic plan for the university. 1819 (honoring UC’s founding year) seeks a gift of just $18.19. Help move the needle on UC’s alumni giving rate — and increase the value of every UC degree — by making a gift today at www.uc.edu/1819. You may also designate your 1819 gift to the UC Libraries by contacting Peggy Wolf at (513)556-0055 or by e-mail at peggy.wolf@uc.edu.
