A Season of Giving Thanks
Dear Colleagues,
As we enter the colder months and the holiday season, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each of you for all that you do on behalf of UK and those we serve.
This year has presented many challenges to our institution, but together, we have remained unwaveringly dedicated to our mission: advancing Kentucky.
You, our faculty, are drivers of innovation, finding creative and novel ways to provide solutions to the most pressing issues confronting our Commonwealth and its communities.
- Your dedication to our students has helped drive record graduation rates, with preliminary six-year graduation rates now at nearly 72%.
- You are helping address critical workforce shortages in Kentucky by launching efforts to prepare graduates to serve our communities.
- And you are leading the charge to heal Kentucky with compassionate care, helping pioneer a new method to help stroke patients regain mobility.
In these, and many other ways, you are continuing to live up to the very reason the University of Kentucky was founded.
I am deeply honored and profoundly thankful to work alongside each of you in our journey to improve the lives of all Kentuckians and beyond.
Thank you for your passion and dedication to all that we continue to accomplish at UK.
Robert S. DiPaola
Provost
