The UKAN Advocates are doing an excellent job of promoting the University of Kentucky in their local communities. They stay informed about what is going on in the Kentucky General Assembly, and more importantly, they are taking the time to discuss important issues with their legislators. We want to highlight their efforts to support our legislative priorities at the University of Kentucky.
“The University of Kentucky Advocacy Network provides opportunities for friends of the University to promote our mission and needs to members of the Kentucky General Assembly. Our Advocates assure legislators that they have constituents who care about UK and who are paying attention to how the legislature supports issues important to this University. When I speak with legislators throughout the Commonwealth I feel the support of UKAN.”
President Lee T. Todd, Jr.

"The University of Kentucky plays an important role in every corner of Kentucky by providing resources that foster economic development and quality of life throughout the state. It is critical that the legislature continue to recognize this critical role and provide the resources necessary to build on and quicken the momentum necessary to move all of Kentucky forward. UKAN is just the vehicle to focus all Kentuckians on this very important mission."

"UKAN performs a great service to the University. There is no better way to get positive action in Frankfort than for a constituent to personally stay in touch with their legislators and keep them informed as to the issues that affect the University of Kentucky."

"The University of Kentucky has afforded me so many opportunities as a student that I feel forever compelled to try to give back to it through whatever means. Participating in UKAN affords me an opportunity to directly impact the future of UK and see that Kentucky students will enjoy the same opportunities for years to come."
