A recent trip to Florida for Winter College allowed the College of Arts & Sciences to engage alumni in conversations about our dynamic programs. The A&S presentation to alumni centered on the importance of cyber-enabled technologies and research and how these new advancements tie into Envision 2020. Alumni learned about a host of programs within Envision 2020 that will allow A&S to connect with the world, engage in cutting-edge research, and be active participants in the community. The digital age has supercharged research, allowing A&S to develop programs which will build upon existing strengths in research and teaching. Technology also allows the College to interact not only on a local level, but internationally – allowing members of the UK community to know connectivity on all levels, from virtual to face-to-face and local to global.

Those in attendance had thought-provoking questions, many of which centered around the utilization of digital technologies and our alumni were very enthusiastic about the presentation and A&S programs. President Lee Todd was also in attendance and reflected on his time at UK and briefly discussed his priorities in the next phase of his life. He is proud of the Top 20 Business Plan he helped create and implement and remains steadfastly committed to the advancement of STEM education in Kentucky.
