Land-grant Engagement

Partnering for Kentucky’s Future

Across the University of Kentucky, collaboration drives our commitment to serve. As a land-grant institution, we listen first — then work alongside Kentuckians to co-create solutions that matter.

Through the Office of Land-grant Engagement, we connect campus knowledge with community priorities — turning research, teaching and service into real-world impact.

Together with local leaders, students, faculty and staff, we’re building stronger communities and a stronger Kentucky.
