Our deans are human. They understand student needs and the student mind. Administrative excellence is their by-word. They know that UK is growing, both physically and mentally, and look forward to the day when their spheres of guidance will be even futher extended. As the University grows, our deans will grow with it, ever mindful of academic progress. MARTIN M.
