myriad ways. Gifts to UK were up in 2003-04, and we need those funds to provide a margin of
excellence in teaching, research and scholarships to attract students like those reporting to
campus this year. Membership in the UK Alumni Association is up, too, and dues—paying student ,
members demonstrate the expectation of a long relationship with alumni ofthe future. We need Q
the support of alumni in Kentucky and throughout the world to assist UK in student recruitment, {
scholarships and retention programs, and to connect with you through alumni communications.  
A top-20 university stands on the everyday good will, enthusiasm and achievements of its
alumni. I look forward to standing with you and with the University of Kentucky in this new T
academic year. I
