*Note the time has changed for the May 7 town hall. The correct time is reflected below.
Dear UK Community,
Under the leadership of our Board of Trustees and President Capilouto, we have a compelling vision for the University of Kentucky—to be one of the handful of exceptional public, residential research institutions in the country, with an unwavering commitment to our Commonwealth.
To make that vision a reality, a dedicated team, comprised of leaders from across our campus, has been working in earnest to develop our institution's next Strategic Plan. Building upon the great work that faculty, staff and students across our campus completed over the past year, as well as invaluable feedback from the community, the team will present a draft of the plan for the community to review on Wednesday, April 29th.
We will also hold three town halls— opportunities for us to engage with the community and receive your critical feedback. These events will take place at the following dates, times and locations:
- Wednesday, May 6: 9-11 a.m., Lexmark Public Room, 209 Main Building
- Thursday, May 7: 1-3 p.m., UK Athletic Association Auditorium, W.T. Young Library
- Wednesday, May 13: 10 a.m.-12 p.m., Bio-Pharm Complex, Room 234-B
These events will also be live streamed on UKNow. Individuals watching via live stream will have the opportunity to email and tweet questions and comments.
The leadership team will review your feedback and make final edits to the plan before presenting it to our Board of Trustees for its consideration in June.
You can also send your feedback to provost@email.uky.edu. Moreover, you will find updated information— and additional opportunities to provide feedback— on the strategic plan website.
This strategic plan, which will guide our efforts between now and 2020, is critical in providing our campus and those we serve with a set of clear principles and objectives for the vision and goals we will share as an institution.
Your engagement has already been, and will continue to be, critical to the successful completion of the plan. I look forward to our work, together, to make this vision a reality.
Timothy S. Tracy
