As part of our effort to ensure that everyone possible has a voice as we search for UK’s 12th president, a couple of our board members have initiated a statewide tour to gather input.

Jo Hern Curris and Pam May are organizing a tour across the state. Held largely in the offices of our extension service, they will be traveling from Eastern Kentucky to Western Kentucky – and several communities in between – to hear from you about the characteristics you think are important in our next president.

I want to thank them for their efforts to reach out across the Commonwealth. After all, we are Kentucky’s University. Our campus is the Commonwealth.

Attached are releases about the first two tour stops – Harlan and Hardin counties. We will pass along additional tour stops as they are scheduled.
