- CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE!

Welcome to your new home!
The start of the new academic year has arrived. I am pleased to welcome our returning students back to UK’s College of Arts & Sciences.
And I am thrilled to have so many new students joining us.
The College of Arts and Sciences is the home of knowledge. It is the home of Aristotle and Plato. It is the home of Einstein and Galileo. It is the home of DuBois and Skinner. It is the home of Darwin and Goodall. It is the foundation of all professions, it is home to the scholarship, written communication, and quantitative reasoning of all major discoveries.
And now it is also your home. For the next four years, you have been granted the time and space to learn to live a life driven by the mind. Spend the time wisely. It is the biggest investment you will ever make. Use it to explore some of the most pressing questions of our time, challenge major assumptions, adopt new opinions, investigate long-standing theories, discover new worlds, dream big dreams, and sharpen your critical thinking skill sets. Use it to be tested and tasked, to define yourself for yourself and to begin your professional and personal life.
