Last
Thursday Greg Casey, Sherree Osborne, and I joined fans and friends of Kathy
Johnson at her most recent exhibit opening at the M S Rezny
Studio/Gallery.
In
promoting the exhibition the gallery noted that “Kathy Johnson’s love of trees
in the landscape is dramatically captured in paintings by layering watercolor
and pastel.” Kathy shared that, “Being
among trees--whether walking along a woodland path or on brick pavers among the
urban forest--brings utter contentment. Everything needed is at hand. The
eternal quality of trees puts our daily concerns in perspective..."
I spent last Thursday and Friday at the President’s Retreat. The first day of the retreat focused on
planning for student success. With the
implementation of UK Core (UK’s new general education requirements) UK is now
focusing on how best to recruit, retain, and graduate students.
UK Libraries plays a key role in all of these goals and I hope
that our faculty and staff will offer suggestions for how we can improve in all
of these areas. President Eli Capilouto
is fond of saying that, “The William T. Young Library gives UK an unfair
recruiting advantage!” Let’s work
together to assure that UK Libraries provided an essential role in UK students’
success.
