UC Day of Giving

A Message from UC Blue Ash College Dean, Robin Lightner, PhD

As we strive every day to challenge our students academically and support them holistically, we also have the opportunity to make a big difference in their lives through UC’s Day of Giving.

Nearly all our students work while going to school, some are raising a family, while others face food insecurity. Regardless of which UC Blue Ash fund you choose to support, your gift helps ensure we have the resources to meet our students’ needs so they can focus on their courses and stay on the path to their goals.

Thank you for all you do for UC Blue Ash College, and for our students!
