Did you hear the buzz? Cicadas are returning to Cincy in May!

Brood XIV is emerging next month, and the Mount's very own cicada expert, Dr. Gene Kritsky, will be in the field naming cicadas on your behalf when you support the Dr. Gene Kritsky Endowed Scholarship.

Join us in celebrating Dr. Kritsky and his 40-year legacy at Mount St. Joseph University. A $20 donation will give you a personalized certificate featuring your cicada’s name.

Want more? The Cicada Lover package includes a copy of Periodical Cicadas and a signed copy of Dr. Kritsky’s newest book, The Pilgrims’ Promise.

The Dr. Kritsky Super Fan package includes everything from the Cicada Lover package, plus Cultural History of Insects: In the Medieval Age and A Dinosaur Primer.

Both packages are available for a limited time—while supplies last!

This fun and unique, limited-time gift for friends, family, or even yourself—and a great way to support the Mount! All proceeds benefit the Dr. Gene Kritsky Endowed Scholarship.

Act fast—this opportunity is only available while the cicadas are here!
