The C-Ring Women's Leadership Award

Each spring the C-Ring Women's Leadership Award is presented to an outstanding graduating senior woman at the University of Cincinnati who has demonstrated excellence in leadership throughout their undergraduate career.

First given in 1922 by the Athletics Department to the best "all around gal," the award has evolved over the last 95 years to become an all-university award based on service and academic excellence. For more information on the award, visit the UC Women's Center web page.
