 2 Opening Remarks
In this issue of your magazine is a story I have wanted to see for some time, a story about clinical trials. Alumna Leah
Brown started a company to provide the people power needed to conduct clinical research. Clinical trials are an essen-
tial part of American health care and your university conducts meaningful work in this arena. My mother recently par-
ticipated in a clinical trial regarding treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The results were disappointing in the fact that
the controlled test did not show a signihcant difference in arresting the progress of this debilitating disease. However,
it was a success because it provided information and guidance for the next step in the scientihc method and because it
protected those who need a cure from false hope and needless expense.
Another signihcant clinical trial at UK is about transvaginal ultrasonography screening to detect ovarian cancer in
women over 50 or at risk for ovarian cancer. Early detection of this nearly asymptomatic cancer has proven key in its
treatment. Two of the biggest supporters of the program have been the Kentucky Extension I·Iomemakers Association
and a dear friend to many at the UK Alumni Association, Nadine Spragens, who championed this cause and took
every opportunity to spread the word and encourage women to sign up. In her honor and memory, I include these
phone numbers for women and the people that love them to make a screening appointment, 1-800-766-8279 or 859-
323-4687. The clinical trial was set up in 1987 by Dr. john van Nagell, named one of America’s best doctors in 2007.
Also I urge you to read the UK Alumni Association Annual Report. Managing editor Linda Perry limited the staff to
90 words per topic so you know you are seeing the most succinct review of this year that we have been working for you
and the university. Obviously much has been left out, but the bottom line for us is that you enjoyed, learned from,
cheered for, took pride in UK’s advancements, and made valuable peer connections with other alumni through the
benehts and services ofthe association.
The staff thanks you for your membership, your participation, your generosity of thought, time, and resources.
As the legislature convenes, you may be interested in participating in and/ or staying informed about what is taking
place through UKAN, the UK Advocacy Network, as it informs legislators about the impact and signihcance of UK’s
Top 20 Business Plan to all of Kentucky. UK’s legislative priorities can be found on the UK Web site at
wwwuky.edu/UKAN.
A hnal note about branding: Last issue I shared with you some of the programming changes implemented as a result
of the association’s research done in the summer of 2007. I·Iere is a look at the updated UK Alumni Association logo.
Three results guided the development of the logos:
• To alumni, Kentucky blue is PMS 286; no other blue need apply to take the
place of Kentucky blue in UK Alumni Association President Richard C. Stoll’s
necktie in 1911.
• The Memorial I-Iall Interlocking UK was preferred almost unanimously,
_ O _ ® _ citing its use ofthe familiar, iconic campus building and its unifying symbolism
AlUIHH1 ASSOCIRYIOH from student recruiting materials to its use for years by the association and
  OF   [hg univgysity
• The UK Alumni Association needs to distinguish itself what it does and
for whom.

 2 Presidential Conversation
This is always the time of year when we count our blessings and thank those who
make our lives more enjoyable and fulhlling. The same is true for the University of
P, Kentucky. We are certainly thankful to our alumni members across the globe that
if a help support and proudly represent their alma mater each and every day.
  It is also a time when we start focusing on the upcoming calendar year. And as we
I ¥T:{ _ enter the new year, our sights are squarely focused on the 2008 legislative session.
if i_   * The university’s top priority next year is the same as it was during the last legisla-
»   tive session. We will ask the Governor and General Assembly to continue funding
g S. our Top 20 Business Plan. Such an investment will allow us to continue to improve
the educational experience here at UK. It will help us to continue to add to our
‘ world-class faculty and lower class sizes. It also will help us improve our retention
  and graduation rates, making sure the students who choose to come to UK will be
’ able to walk out of here in four years with a degree in hand.
" L) r We will go to the legislature this coming session and ask for additional classroom
Y .; . far space through the construction of a new Gatton College of Business and Econom-
i ics. This building represents a double shot of energy to campus. First, it will help us
produce more business leaders and entrepreneurs — people who will help us create new economic opportunities across
the Commonwealth. At the very same time, the new building will free up the existing Gatton College, supplying UK
with signihcant classroom space in the heart ofthe campus that can be used by students and faculty, as we move for-
ward in our Top 20 push.
We will also ask our leaders to consider building an additional research building on the site of our “Medical Campus
of the Future.” This building, like our existing Biological/ Biomedical Sciences Research Building, will be home to lab-
oratories designed to conduct advanced research into the most complex health care and science issues. As a high-tech
research factory, it will create hundred of high-paying jobs. The new research building will help us discover new ideas
and innovations that will be key in our quest to diversify and modernize Kentucky’s economy.
I certainly hope that you will support our 2008 legislative agenda. I think it represents something that we, as
alumni members, can be supportive of: an unflinching desire to make UK one ofthe 20 best public research
universities in the nation.
Sincerely,
President Lee T. Todd, ]r.
