Today is Deadline to Complete UKWF Programming Needs Assessment

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 15, 2020) Today is the last day to complete a brief, anonymous online needs assessment to help University of Kentucky Women’s Forum (UKWF) determine future programming.

UKWF works on behalf of all UK employees. Its mission is to exert a leadership role in empowering, validating, informing, including, and celebrating all faculty and staff employed at the University of Kentucky. The organization provides yearlong professional development opportunities, a space to influence change on campus, a diverse network of UK employees and an empowering community for all. Its programming aims to help all university employees achieve personal and professional goals.

The needs assessment will be used to inform UKWF when it develops programming — regardless of gender identity.

The anonymous needs assessment can be found here and will take about 10 minutes to complete. The completion deadline is noon Wednesday, July 15.

For questions or concerns, please reach out to Women’s Forum at UKWF@uky.edu.  

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.   

In 2022, UK was ranked by Forbes as one of the “Best Employers for New Grads” and named a “Diversity Champion” by INSIGHT into Diversity, a testament to our commitment to advance Kentucky and create a community of belonging for everyone. While our mission looks different in many ways than it did in 1865, the vision of service to our Commonwealth and the world remains the same. We are the University for Kentucky.
