UK president CAPELOUTO said funds from the Kentucky campaign help expand access to education and dramatically accelerate the school's efforts to solve the state's most challenging health and economic issues.
Last week, he thanked donors and talked about UK research priorities.
We launched a Kentucky Can campaign a few years ago, and I'm glad to report today that Kentucky did.
I would like to say that we are seeds of innovation supported by these donors we identified a few years ago what we call our research priority areas.
These are some of the things that have most challenged Kentucky, whether it be cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity.
New frontiers in energy and materials science.
With our focus and our ability to use resources to bring together the talents across this campus, we're bringing together the entire multidisciplinary teams to solve some of the most stubborn challenges that have plagued Kentucky.
So I so appreciate the investment that our donors have made in us.
It's an expression of their trust and confidence.
It's also an expression of the hope they have for Kentucky that we all wish for.
And that's one that tomorrow is healthier, wealthier and wiser than it is today.
The Kentucky Can campaign started in 2018.
