LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 21, 2023) — As we begin another academic year at the University of Kentucky, President Eli Capilouto shares a special message about the promise of this place and its people. 

 

Campus Community, 

The University of Kentucky is more than a place. It is more than a team. It is more than a beautiful campus.  
 
It is a promise.  
 
A promise to educate another record-setting class of incoming students. 
 
A promise to support every Wildcat inside and outside of the classroom. 
 
A promise to discover solutions to problems that challenge our Commonwealth, this nation and the world. 
 
A promise to ensure Kentuckians receive the health care they need in Kentucky.   
 
It is a promise we live up to by working together, with communities, as we strive to advance Kentucky.  
 
As we begin another academic year, thank you for being an integral part of this promise.  
 
Eli Capilouto 
President
