,, _ _ _   Since we last visited here, the University of Kentucky has named a new athletics director.
_ *·  S Mitch Barnhart comes to us from Oregon State University by way of the University of Ten-
·P P "`TQ ‘ nessee and Southern Methodist University Mitch brings to UK a proven record of success,
  in addition to experience. He has deep passion for working with students, and his philoso-
  phies are very much in sync with mine on how to run this program. I believe he has a well
iiii ` thought out vision on how to move our athletics department forward. ¤
I appreciate the support and input many of you provided and thank the advisory group
— Mira Ball, community leader, former chairperson of the Greater Lexington Chamber of
Commerce and co-founder of Ball Homes; Sam Bowie, former basketball letterman at UK
and NBA star and now a Lexington businessman; Dermontti Dawson, former football
letterman at UK and NFL star and now a Lexington businessman; John R. Hall, former
football letterman at Vanderbilt University, retired CEO and chairman of Ashland Inc., and
currently a director of Bank One and president of the McDowell Cancer Foundation;
Garrett Headley, former wrestling letterman at UK, president of the K Association and a
Lexington stockbroker; Claire Pomeroy, member of the UK faculty in the College of Medi-
cine and a faculty representative to the UK Board of Trustees; and Gerald Smith, faculty
member of the UK History department, director of the UK African American Studies and
Research Program and faculty representative to the UK Athletics Association board.
Vlhth the Athletics Association in capable hands, more of my energy can be devoted to ,
moving our University forward. I recently named Retia Scott Walker, former dean of the i
College of Human Environmental Sciences., to the position of vice president for Academic ,
Outreach and Public Service. Walker will develop partnerships between the University and ji
local communities, and serve as university liaison to local, state and national agencies con- E
cemed with academic outreach and service learning. Q
UK students are starting a Volunteer Center on campus this academic year. So many of  
our young people are doing a lot to implement their idealism in community service and this  
center will help them connect more efficiently to where the needs are greatest. It will give  
them more time to spend in productive work for others as they maintain their busy sched- l
ules of school and work.  
Your Alumni Association is also making plans to bring together the volunteer initiatives  
already taking place in alumni clubs throughout the country You’ll be hearing more about  _
that in the coming weeks. y 
Finally, I want to let you know that I will have more time to visit alumni clubs and alumni  
throughout the country and look forward to meeting you at these events. Next on my alum- I 
ni calendar is lunch with alumni and friends in Washington, D.C., September 19. I hope  
those of you in the D.C. area can join me. Stay connected to UK. You are so important to its  `
future. y
