LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 4, 2025) —Momentum is building for the University of Kentucky’s Advancing Kentucky Together Network. 

The network was established just over one year ago in response to the UK Board of Trustees’ directive to become the university that — along with partners — does more than anyone in the country to improve the health of the state it serves.  

Learn more the importance of these partnerships by listening to this “UK at the Half,” which aired Oct. 25 during the Wildcats’ SEC game against the University of Tennessee.   

“UK at the Half” airs during halftime of each UK football and basketball game broadcast on radio and is hosted by UK Public Relations and Strategic Communications and Marketing and Brand Strategy. To hear the “UK at the Half” interview, click on the play button above.    

As the state’s flagship, land-grant institution, the University of Kentucky exists to advance the Commonwealth. We do that by preparing the next generation of leaders — placing students at the heart of everything we do — and transforming the lives of Kentuckians through education, research and creative work, service and health care. We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.
