The shooting of Jacob Blake shocks and saddens. We send continued prayers for his recovery and for his family. For us, this is another reminder of the urgent work we must do to dismantle systemic racism that exists here and elsewhere in our country. We must meet this moment.
Welcome back, Wildcats. Here at the @universityofky, we teach and support students so that they might lead lives of meaning and purpose. We are being asked now to do new things in new ways that have never been asked of us. We can do this. https://t.co/DRb99O19Vx
As students, parents and teachers across the country wonder what the new normal for schools will look like, one of the first universities welcoming students back to campus is taking extraordinary efforts to keep everyone safe. @ellisonbarber has the details.
As interim vice president for institutional diversity, I’m honored to follow Dr. Feist-Price and work to build upon her considerable legacy. I look forward to serving the university, which has been so central to my life, in this new role. https://t.co/MInOmGY2vD
Thank you so much for the congratulatory wishes! I truly appreciate your support & encouragement. UK, along with the wonderful friends & colleagues I’ve had over my nearly 30 years, will forever be in my heart.
Not matter where I am, I look forward to remaining in touch.
Recognizing Juneteenth as a holiday is just one of several action steps the university is taking to support, uplift and amplify our Black community. Friday, I had the opportunity to share these steps with our Board of Trustees.
