Campus Celebrates the Todds’ Tenure

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 31, 2011) – The entire UK family is invited to celebrate the tenure of President Lee T. Todd Jr. and First Lady Patsy Todd at an event at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 12, at Patterson Office Tower Plaza.

The celebration, similar to UK’s State of the University Address, will commemorate the more than 10 years of service that the first family has given to the university with an ice cream social and speakers as well as a special address from the President himself.

This event is being organized by UK’s Student Government Association.

“President and First Lady Todd have been such an asset to this campus, and they will be greatly missed,” Ryan Smith, student body president, said. “It is our pleasure to plan a celebration for the campus community to honor the first family of UK.”

Students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends are encouraged to attend. If you would like to leave well wishes for the President and First Lady, click here to leave your message electronically.

In the event of inclement weather, the celebration will be moved to the Singletary Center for the Arts. For those who cannot attend, Wildcat Student Television will be live streaming the celebration. Visit www.uky.edu/uknow on April 12 to view the live stream.
