Eastern Kentucky University Parent Guide
Welcome to Eastern Kentucky University
Dear EKU Family Network Members:
On behalf of the entire Eastern Kentucky University family, I would like to welcome you to our community. We are honored that your student chose EKU and we take this responsibility seriously as they pursue 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 environment that enhances your student’s opportunity for success, inside and outside of the classroom!
We are delighted that you as a family have decided to become a member 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, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
James F. Conneely, Ph.D.
Associate Provost and Vice President for Student Affairs
