UK College of Nursing

This morning, we celebrated the ceremonial groundbreaking of the Health Education Building. The state-of-the-art facility will house programs in @UKYMedicine, @ukynursing, @UKCPH and @ukchs. Educating students for a brighter tomorrow, collaborating through transdisciplinary efforts and drawing in top talents for our shared mission — together, we will advance Kentucky.

It will house Colleges of Medicine, Public Health, Health Sciences and Nursing, and Center for Interprofessional and Community Health Education. As a registered nurse who graduated from UK, I was happy to join @ukynursing Dean Rosalie Mainous for this great announcement. (2/2)

Today I joined in the celebration of the @universityofky groundbreaking on the new Health Education Building. This new more than 500,000-square-foot building, located at the intersection of Huguelet and University Drives, will be the largest academic building in UK history. (1/2)

Rosalie Mainous joined @ukynursing as its sixth dean on Nov. 14, 2022. Dean Mainous is a distinguished scholar and fellow of the @NAPractice, a fellow of the @AAN_Nursing and a fellow of @AANP_NEWS. #WomenHistoryMonth

When asked what motivates her, @ukynursing's Dr. Lovoria Williams said: "The why behind my work is the desire to advance health equity among communities of color and to equip the next generation of health equity researchers."
