The 2012-2013 academic year marked the University’s 50th year of existence. The University boasts humble beginnings as a business school in 1962 to proudly celebrating its place as the largest private institution in the state of Kentucky as it holds full SACS accreditation for associate, bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees in 2012.

The Housing and Residence Life Department on campus has gone through several changes this year and will continue to be restructured as we look to strengthen our program even more. Recent changes include Lauren Kelly being named Housing and Operations Coordinator in January of this year and we will have two anticipated positions for the department and the coordinator level in time for SEAHO in Atlanta!

Go Hilltoppers! KARH Conference 2013 On Friday, February 1st, almost 100 delegates and advisers arrived at the Berea College campus to “take a gamble on leadership” at KARH 2013. Friday night’s opening ceremonies featured Berea’s Assistant Vice President Gus Gerassimides as the keynote speaker, after which the nine delegations entertained with their roll call skits and performances. Following the ceremonies, the night continued with casino festivities that included a comedian and magician. Saturday, while some attended the Boardroom, others had eighteen educational programs to choose from, facilitated by presenters from five different institutions. All of the programs offered delegates the opportunity to learn from the broad network of expertise that we’d gathered from across the state. Then, that night, we celebrated our state’s accomplishments at the international banquet that included various recognitions by the KARH State Board and the awarding of Best Overall Delegation to the Saints of Thomas More College. Thanks to all who took a gamble on leadership with us! 39
