E.    President's Report to the Board of Trustees (PR 1)

President Todd highlighted the following items in PR 1:

1. The University of Kentucky forms a partnership with the Georgetown
   Community Hospital for a Cancer Treatment Center. This is a regional
   approach and is a collaborative effort of the UK Markey Cancer Center and
   Georgetown Community Hospital.

2. The University of Kentucky College of Law ranks among the top 25 colleges
   at public institutions. The College of Medicine ranked 43rd among 125
   accredited medical schools in the area of primary care. These graduate school
   rankings were released by U.S. News and World Report.

3. Dr. William E. Kirwan II, President of The Ohio State University and
   alumnus of the UK College of Arts and Sciences, was on campus recently.
   He was presented with the Outstanding Alumni Award from the UK Alumni
   Association and the College of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Kirwan will be going
   to Maryland to become Chancellor of the University System of Maryland in
   August.

4. The College of Agriculture and the Gatton College of Business and
   Economics have joined forces to spur new economic growth in Kentucky's
   communities. Agriculture's Cooperative Extension Service and the Kentucky
   Small Business Development Center will combine resources to help small
   business and agri-business development. This is another way to get research
   information out in the communities. This is similar to what the University has
   done with the School of Public Health. Both of these fit well in the
   University's "higher purpose" mission in service across the Commonwealth.

5. The Beckman Undergraduate Research Scholarships were announced a few
   months ago. There were only five institutions to receive these scholarships:
   Duke, Washington University, UCLA, Boston University and the University
   of Kentucky. The University of Kentucky has now selected its first two
   students to be recipients of this prestigious award. They are Robin Petroze of
   Fort Mitchell and Garrett Sparks of Ashland. These students will be working
   this summer with some of the University's research faculty.

6. Kimberly Anderson, professor of Chemical and Materials Engineering,
   received the 2002 Sarah Bennett Holmes Award from the UK Women's
   Forum. The award is granted annually to a woman working at the University
   who promotes the growth and well-being of other women not only at UK but
   throughout the Commonwealth. Professor Anderson is also heading the Vice
   President for Research search.
