Homecoming queen, king reflect on time at UC
Sarah Clem, Sean Cox talk involvement, being Bearcats, future goals CASSIE MERINO STAFF REPORTER
Sarah Clem
When fourth-year marketing student Sarah Clem received the crown for Homecoming queen at Saturday’s game, it was a familiar honor. Clem received the title of Homecoming queen at Kings High School. The familiarity, however, did not limit the amount of shock felt. “I didn’t expect it at all,” Clem said. “I was blown away.” Sarah is involved in many groups at
“I want to come back for all the football games,” Clem said. “I want to keep telling everyone what an awesome experience I had at UC and help push UC to continue to shine.” In the future, Clem wants to work in advertising, but her dream is working with CHAARG. She wants to help promote CHAARG on other campuses and spread the group’s message of health and fitness for women. She hopes to stay in Cincinnati, and said the city plays a big part in her future plans. “If I move away it will only be for a little bit,” she said. “And I know I will end back up here. I can never stay away from Cincinnati.”
Sean Cox
Receiving the crown for Homecoming king was a surreal experience for fourthyear marketing student Sean Cox, who was nominated by Pi Kappa Alpha. Unlike Clem, the experience was an entirely new one. “I don’t even think I was on the radar [for king],” he said about high school homecoming nominations. “This is very, very, very new for me.” Cox enjoys running in his free time, in addition to taking pictures and making movies. “I’ve always thought of myself as being a creative person,” Cox said. Cox is involved with Lindner College of Business Carl H. Lindner Honors PLUS
Program and is a ROAR guide, external vice president of Pi Kappa Alpha and a member of the Student Alumni Council. He has also been the marketing chair for the Red and Black Bash for two years; he was involved in the Red and Black Bash’s video that featured president Santa Ono lipsyncing Walk the Moon’s “Anna Sun.” “With student involvement, it takes up most of my time, but it’s stuff that I really like to do,” he said. One of Cox’s goals is to represent the average student. “I think I represent a huge majority of people who are very passionate about being here, very passionate about learning and exploring themselves,” he said. When he first came to UC, Cox worked to find his niche in engineering, business or design; he wants a career in which creative people would surround him. After maintaining a steady career, Cox wants to own a restaurant or a bar. “[I want to] do stuff with my hands all day and create something completely from scratch that I can call my own, and be my own boss. I’d be able to make people smile from day to day… I think that would be so much more rewarding than doing any other job, ever,” he said. Cox also plans on staying in Cincinnati. “I kind of fell in love with [Cincinnati]. It’s a young city; it’s an exciting city. The university is driven by the young people and it’s really refreshing,” he said. “I want to be a part of it as long as I can.”

the University of Cincinnati. She is the president of Changing Health, Attitudes and Actions to Recreate Girls, a member of the UC Equestrian Team, education chairman of Kappa Kappa Gamma, a ROAR tour guide and more. “It’s definitely a lot, but I love them all,” she said. Clem transferred to UC after completing her first year at Ohio State University, during which she pursued a career in veterinary medicine. “I [needed] to go somewhere where I’m going to be happy and thrive, and so I transferred to UC,” Clem said. “It was the best decision of my life. I absolutely love all the opportunities I have had here.” She wants to be a positive role model to students that didn’t have the best start in college. “Coming to UC was such a life-changing experience that I want to be able to show students that you can really start whenever, wherever,” she said. Clem’s favorite thing about UC is the campus, which inspired her to be a ROAR tour guide. ROAR tour guides specialize in helping prospective students make informed decisions about college. “I think we have the most gorgeous campus ever, and I love how friendly everyone on campus is. There are so many ways to get involved,” Clem said. Five years from now Clem sees herself as, “hopefully with a job” — as well as a desire to be an active alumnus.
