Blue is the one color that connects every generation of the University of Kentucky family. Since our inception in 1865, Kentucky's flagship university has been home to the Commonwealth of Kentucky's hopes and dreams. It has served as the state's hub for education and opportunity, delivering new ideas and innovation to every corner of Kentucky.
Because of that proud history, Kentucky blue is much more than just a color to Kentuckians. It is a state of mind — a sense of pride, purpose, and excellence in all that we do. It means passion and purpose, leadership and ambition, innovation and creativity, challenge and opportunity.
Today, our UK family is united like never before. Our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends are committed to changing the Commonwealth by helping UK become one of the nation's Top 20 public research universities.
Our aspiration for greatness calls on us to seek excellence in everything we do. We are providing more Kentuckians with a world-class education, conducting more groundbreaking research that will lead to discoveries that will change lives and strengthen Kentucky's economy, and reaching out to improve health care, education, and quality of life in Kentucky communities.
I hope you take some time to learn more about the University of Kentucky and see what blue can do for you.
