Join us in 2016 as the McConnell Center celebrates its 25th anniversary with a series of public events on the theme of "Citizens and Statesman." Since 1991, the Center has awarded more than $3.5 million in scholarships to 200 McConnell Scholars. It has provided professional development to more than 1,000 Kentucky teachers. Its lectures, books, studies and conferences have garnered international attention, with the American Council of Trustees and Alumni recently naming the Center “an oasis of excellence in higher education.”
