The University of Louisville is dedicated to helping all 
Kentuckians, whether they live in Louisville, Appalachia or the 
Pennyrile. The university is actively involved in every single 
one of the state’s 120 counties. This map showcases just

Dataseam supplies participating school districts with 
new computers. After school hours, the computers are 
used by UofL scientists for cancer research. Dataseam 
also provides scholarships for students in coal-
producing counties that participate in Dataseam. 

UofL has many educational outreach programs including 
the Kentucky Autism Training Center, offering 
information and technical assistance to families and 
service providers for those with autism, and ACCLAIM, 
a partnership that builds the math skills of teachers in 
Appalachia. 

UofL’s many medical partnerships include AHEC, 
created to improve the recruitment, distribution and 
retention of health-care professionals in medically 
underserved areas; the Kentucky Cancer Program, 
which identifies cancer problems and mobilizes 
communities into action; and Passport, a Medicaid-
managed care plan serving the state’s Medicaid and 
KCHIP populations. We also have medical students on 
rotation in rural areas statewide. 

The Children’s Free Dental Clinic, an AHEC program, 
assists needy kids by providing dental exams, oral 
health-care education and restoration services. 

Restoring waterways and monitoring the impact of 
pollutants on our air and plantlife are just some of 
the “green” activities UofL is involved in statewide. 

Several of our environmental projects are designed to 
save energy. They include KEEPS, which helps school 
districts reduce energy consumption and operating 
expenses. KEEPS is part of our Kentucky Pollution 
Prevention Center, which itself conducts energy audits 
for businesses statewide. 

Assisting the elderly with their wills and providing legal 
clinics for Hispanics are ways in which students and 
faculty in UofL’s law school help Kentuckians. 

UofL’s engineering school assists companies in Fayette 
and Jefferson counties with their rapid prototyping 
needs, as they create new products for the market. In 
Jefferson County our business college helps area companies 
operate more efficiently, grow new business and 
make wise distribution choices.
