Message from the Dean
Dear Colleagues,
We’ve had great fun welcoming many honored guests to the College in recent weeks. This week we are honoring our very own book author achievements at 6 pm on Thursday evening at the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, 715 W. Main. Please try to join in this celebration of Arts & Sciences Faculty! Special thanks to the Commonwealth Center for Humanities and Society for planning this accolade, and check in with Tracy Heightchew to make sure your book is included.
Also, be sure to check out the announcement of A&S Fulbright candidates! We dominate the group. Let’s keep upping the ante by cultivating an even larger group next year!
As always, please let us know how we can help.
Sincerely,
Kimberly Kempf-Leonard
Dean
