Further underscoring the commitment to create the best possible academic experience for students, University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto Thursday announced the single largest gift in UK’s history — $23 million to create one of the country’s leading Honors programs.
The gift, from UK alum and long-time donor Thomas W. Lewis and his wife Jan, of Paradise Valley, Arizona, will establish an Honors College at the University of Kentucky. The establishment of a new college will be subject to faculty review and endorsement through the University Senate next year.
“This gift, by a remarkable person and leader so committed to his alma mater and to education, reflects our mission to place the success of students first in everything that we do,” Capilouto said Thursday in announcing the donation. “Tom Lewis is investing in, and helping enhance, a vision we have to be the finest residential, public research university in America.
