Welcome to Eastern Kentucky University

Dear EKU Family Network Members:

It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the Eastern Kentucky University family. We are honored that your student chose EKU to further their education and life experiences.

At Eastern Kentucky University we are deeply committed to providing our students with a strong academic education and as well as an outstanding “out of the classroom” experience that will enhance their knowledge and personal growth. At EKU we all work together (faculty and staff) to provide leadership experiences, learning opportunities, and social interactions that promote personal development and success for students; we believe that this holistic approach to education is intimately connected to students’ academic and personal well being.

Dr. Doug Whitlock, EKU’s President, is strongly committed to providing all students an enriched educational experience along with an inclusive community environment. He is also committed to providing a supportive place for your students to achieve their personal and educational goals. We are excited that you as a family have decided to become members of the Eastern Kentucky University community.

In addition, we are excited about the special events and information included in this publication. Please use this guide as our welcome to you. If you have any questions or concerns now or in the future, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely,

James F. Conneely, Ph.D.
