Capilouto Formally Installed As UK President

{Kentucky}...Tuesday, University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto was formally installed, after being on the job for almost four months. Capilouto is UK's 12th president. Capilouto marked the occasion with a bold promise to build new dormitories and classroom buildings. Capilouto said to a full audience at the Singletary Center for the Arts that this is the University of Kentucky's time to honor a promise that goes back 150 years, a covenant to improve the Commonwealth by educating its citizens. Capilouto, who came to UK from the provost position at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, is expected to discuss a facilities plan in more detail at the October 25th Board of Trustees meeting.
