What makes your college a great place to work?

Presidential Statement

The University of Kentucky is a great place to work because of its people. The UK family shares an uncommon commitment to our mission and to one another. Faculty and staff often share with me the camaraderie of their colleagues and their willingness to partner within and across disciplines and units. This collaborative spirit is critically important as our work becomes increasingly interconnected and we pursue a future that is full of possibilities.

Employee Comment

Our mission is infused into everything we do-to serve the Commonwealth. The University of Kentucky Leadership is truly focused on student success and addressing the pressing health care disparities that plague the state and region.
