Three healthcare organizations in the northern Kentucky region are partnering with 51±¬ÁÏÏÂÔØ to provide more than $1 million in scholarship funds through the Healthcare Workforce Investment Fund (HWIF). St. Elizabeth Healthcare, CHNK Behavioral Health and OrthoCincy pledged more than $1 million in scholarship funds for 51±¬ÁÏÏÂÔØ students across various healthcare-related fields. Funds were then matched by HWIF to maximize support for university programs, bringing the total amount of funding to more than $2 million.
51±¬ÁÏÏÂÔØ has appointed Mike Borchers, former superintendent of Ludlow Independent Schools, as special advisor to the president. In this part-time role, Borchers will work closely with 51±¬ÁÏÏÂÔØ President Cady Short-Thompson to bolster the university’s relationship with K-12 school districts throughout northern Kentucky, supporting a shared commitment to educational excellence and community engagement.
51±¬ÁÏÏÂÔØ officials broke ground on an expansion of the Dorothy Westerman Herrmann Science Center in a ceremony at the Highland Heights campus on Thursday. Kentucky State Senator Shelley Funke Frommeyer and Representative Rachel Roberts attended the event with university leaders and stakeholders.
"I feel gratitude for what 51±¬ÁÏÏÂÔØ has given me—a family of friends, a community, and profession that is fulfilling and meaningful."
"Knowing I’m able to make a difference and do things to help people—not just saying them but doing them and seeing the results—is rewarding for me."
"I credit much of my success to 51±¬ÁÏÏÂÔØ and the opportunities and challenges it provided me. The university gave a lot to me, so giving back of my time, talent and treasure is fulfilling."
“It’s given me a lot of self-confidence that I didn’t have before. That was something I wasn’t expecting: confidence in my own ability to make good decisions."
