Fall is here, Cincinnati’s temperature is finally cooperating with the season, and the academic year is in full swing. Record numbers of students matriculated into the College’s online master’s degree programs this semester; in fact, enrollment has doubled over the last two years for most of our programs. Triennial external reviews of three JLWCOP M.S. degrees – Cosmetic Science, Drug Development, and Pharmacy Leadership – were completed in the last month, and all three programs received the highest rating. (One reviewer informally graded us at “A++”.) The College is redoubling its efforts in connecting with its alumni, joining forces with UC Foundation to create a more effective tracking and engagement system. More social events will be offered, and will be available to alumni from the day they graduate. There are openings on our Alumni Council, so please contact me (surratck@uc.edu) or our alumni affairs associate dean Mike Doherty (dohertmb@uc.edu) if interested. With the help of the Dean’s Advisory Board, our alumni, our community partners and other JLWCOP stakeholders, the faculty and staff collaborated to create and ratify a very thorough 2024 – 2029 Strategic Plan, soon to be available on our website. As seen below, our faculty and students are winning awards and bringing glory to JLWCOP and UC. It’s a great time to be a Bearcat!
