Welcome to Eastern Kentucky University, the School of Opportunity where everyone belongs.
We believe in putting our students first. Our world class faculty and staff create opportunities for personal growth through exceptional experiences, to ensure students realize their fullest potential and achieve excellence.
The well-being and success of our students is the common bond that connects every area of campus through dedication and persistence to reach our goal.
As a Kentucky native, first-generation student, and EKU graduate, I understand the importance of the student experience at Eastern. This University placed me on a path that I could not imagine as an optimistic student from Paintsville, Kentucky.
I am confident as president I can continue expanding efforts to help others achieve their dreams. I know it can happen, and I am positive the work we do campus-wide will produce great results for our current students.
EKU’s new strategic plan, Experience Excellence, is a bold, forward thinking strategy focusing on knowledge, innovation, and transformation.
Experience Excellence honors shared governance principles, all the while being aggressive and bold as to what we aspire. Specifically, it establishes a vision, mission, values, goals, and strategic initiatives that reflect the voice of every student, faculty, and staff member, as well as other EKU stakeholders. The guiding values of this plan are inclusion and trust, as these priorities are vital to our future’s success.
Happy To assist you
