Commencement is one of my favorite days of the year because, together, we mark a transformative accomplishment in your life. Your academic success is also our success, and now is our time to celebrate as one UC. Earning a degree from UC, and indeed a degree from any accredited institution of higher learning, is a life-changing achievement. Hopefully, it has been an educational journey that has sparked in you a lifelong passion for learning and quest for greater understanding and knowledge. Students who were certified to graduate in previous semesters have already received their electronic diplomas via email. Those of you who have applied to graduate today will receive a link to your electronic diploma by email when it has been certified to ensure that all obligations have been met. No matter what your next steps prove to be, I hope you will return frequently to UC as a proud alumnus. Please remember that our Bearcats community is proud of you and your accomplishments. You are our next generation of leaders, our hope for tomorrow. Above all, we are honored that you chose UC to pursue your educational goals. Best Wishes and Go Bearcats! Neville G.

From the fourteenth century, the ceremonial mace was used by civil and ecclesiastical authorities. Today, carried as an emblem of authority and prestige, it is commonly used to indicate the official opening of ceremonies. UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI SEAL 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
