Now, we are meeting that mission more and more with partners who share our values and our commitment to progress in advancing the health, education and economy of Kentucky. Today, we are formally joining with Transylvania University, an outstanding institution with nearly 250 years of history, in the shared goal and common commitment to meet the workforce needs of our state and, together, to make our home community of Lexington an even stronger and more vibrant community in which to live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As Kentucky&#8217;s first university, Transylvania is proud to be the inaugural academic partner in the Advancing Kentucky Together Network,\u201d said Transylvania President Brien Lewis. \u201cThis collaboration with the University of Kentucky builds on our long history together and positions us to play a critical role in driving Kentucky forward. Transylvania&#8217;s partnership with UK in this new network signifies a powerful step for Kentucky&#8217;s educational future. Together, we&#8217;ll develop the next generation of leaders, ensuring our students are ready to excel in vital fields.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A memorandum of understanding signed by the two presidents Wednesday morning broadly outlines some of the initiatives the two institutions will jointly pursue. Already, teams of officials at both universities are working on projects including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enabling Transylvania students to seamlessly move from their undergraduate studies into a master\u2019s degree program in the UK College of Public Health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exploring potential outreach efforts in the Fayette County Public Schools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaborating on education abroad and internship opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sharing information through the institutions\u2019 human resources areas around technology for employee onboarding and training and hiring needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/03\/transylvania_uk_2-730x420.jpeg\" alt=\"people chatting at tables\" class=\"wp-image-24813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/03\/transylvania_uk_2-730x420.jpeg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/03\/transylvania_uk_2-350x202.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/03\/transylvania_uk_2-768x442.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/03\/transylvania_uk_2-810x466.jpeg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/03\/transylvania_uk_2-300x173.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/03\/transylvania_uk_2.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Teams from both Transylvania and UK worked on the partnership details today in the Campus Center.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The two universities already have a long history of partnership in business, engineering and health care education.
