Soon the leaves will be turning so many beautiful colors and and the young people all over Kentucky will be settling down in their dorms, making new friends, trying to get their schedules changed and realizing that the education they are about to receive in the Colleges and Universities all over Kentucky will make them the leaders of society tomorrow.

This month, I would like to focus on the University of Kentucky, located in Lexington, Kentucky(Fayette County).

I hope to cover as many Colleges and Universities as possible in the months ahead.

A college education will provide the best foundation for every student and for their future and the future of Kentucky. For every student who takes advantage of the wonderful Institutions of Higher learning, this State has to offer, there will be many life-long rewards.

The University of Kentucky , was founded in 1865. The campus in Lexington includes the colleges and graduate school, with an enrollment of about 24,000 students.

The University's Albert Chandler Medical Center provides medical education and research and includes the University of Kentucky Hospital.

Located in the Albert Chandler Medical Center is a blood and marrow transplant Center.....Research is an on-going project here and is known around the world.

Located around the State are the fourteen Community Colleges with a total enrollment of about 46,000 students. The Community Colleges offer a varied curriculum, including continuing education and programs leading to associate technical degrees.

The University is also very well known for the wonderful records they hold in various sports.

The Kentucky Wildcats Men's basketball team is known everywhere and they have the distinction of being named "The Winningest Team" in the history of College basketball.
They now proudly boast of 7 National Championships. What an honor.

In its 135 years, the University of Kentucky has been proud to provide the best in Academics that are possible. Students from all over the World have prospered by being educated at the University of Kentucky.
