12. Naming Our Plan: Why? UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI: Leading in the 21 st Century

13. Why emphasize 21 st century? Only in Year 4 of the 21 st century Changes will be accelerated, given the pace of technological development Competition for students and from for- profit entities and online learning

14. Why emphasize 21 st century? (Cont’d.) Projecting major changes in the academy, i.e., divisionless, more experimental Increasingly diverse cohort of learners Increasing call to bring intellectual capital to societal needs Serving as economic engine in a knowledge-based environment

15. Step 1: Reduce the University of Cincinnati to “UC” + The most ‘economical’ way to reference the university + In our logo + In the hearts and minds of our students: “UC!”

16. Step 2: Add in “21” UC|21 UC 21  Short and catchy  Easily symbolized  Invites clarification or explanation

17. Step 4: After the colon UC|21: Leading in the 21 st Century UC|21: 21 st Century Cities Need 21 st Century Universities UC|21: Leading the Urban Renaissance of the 21 st Century UC|21: A 21 st Century Pioneer The UC Plan for a Great Urban University The UC Commitment of a Great Urban University

18. Rationale for “Urban” + Founded as a municipal university; We have cities in our roots +Resides in a metropolitan area +Chartered as a state university, and the only public, urban “Research I” in Ohio

19. Rationale for “Urban” (cont’d.) +National in scope & the potential to truly redefine the national perspective on urban-engaged universities +Future of the country rests on the welfare of our cities +Global demography: by 2025, 75% of world’s population will reside in cities
