We’re excited to celebrate a new partnership between the Cincinnati Reds and Xavier University, one that reflects the power of collaboration, community, and shared commitment to our city.

This partnership creates meaningful opportunities for Xavier students to learn, grow, and engage through real world experiences while deepening the connection between two institutions that care deeply about Cincinnati. We’re grateful for the ways this relationship will open doors for experiential learning, professional development, and civic engagement that benefit both our students and the broader community.

We’re also especially thankful for the strong relationships already built with the Reds staff. Their generosity, kindness, and willingness to invest in students have made this partnership feel intentional and people centered from the very beginning.

We look forward to what’s ahead and to continuing to work together in ways that support students, strengthen our city, and make Cincinnati an even better place to live, learn, and work.

Today, we’re excited to announce a 10-year partnership with one of Cincinnati’s most storied and influential institutions, the Cincinnati Reds!

As the Official University of the Reds, Xavier students will have access to real-world learning experiences, from exclusive internships and job-shadowing opportunities to on-campus engagement with Reds professionals. Reds staff will thrive with continuing-education benefits, supporting their professional growth through Xavier’s academic programs.

This partnership reflects a shared belief that Cincinnati thrives when its institutions work together to invest in talent, innovation, and the next generation of leaders.

“The energy and future-focused mindset that Xavier University brings through this unique partnership is very exciting to our organization,” said Bob Castellini, Reds Principal Owner and Managing Partner. “Uniting the strengths of Xavier students, faculty, teams, and alumni with the passion of the Reds’ fanbase and operations will make a lasting impact for years to come.”

“This partnership is a grand slam for the Musketeer and Reds families, and for the entire Greater Cincinnati community," said Xavier University President Colleen Hanycz. “I could not be more thrilled at the benefits this will provide for Xavier students and employees in the decade ahead.”
