J. President’s Report
President Capilouto said it was an honor to stand before the Board at this meeting. He
expressed appreciation to Dr. Brockman for his kind description of his activities over the past
couple of months. He said he was not keeping score because he was pleased to do all of it. It
has been a labor of love.
While this school year has just begun, the work leading up to this has been going on for a
great deal of time. President Capilouto said that he was excited to be at UK, and it has
reaffinned everything his wife Mary Lynne and he first noticed on campus in May and all the
days they have been on campus since that time. It has exceeded their expectations far above
what they imagined.
President Capilouto said that the work of a university (education, research, and service) is
365 days a year. There is no down time. He introduced Student Govemment President Micah
Fielden and asked him to give the Board a glimpse of what has happened at the beginning of
school the year. He said it had been an honor and delight to get to know Micah. Micah
represents the finest character and goodness you can see in a student leader. He has been a
tremendous ambassador both on and off campus.
Mr. Fielden shared with the Board a little about K Week which included 10 days and
over 400 events that were planned throughout the year by the staff; faculty, and two student K-
week coordinators. He said that K Week is a special event and introduced a video prepared by
.6.
