Once you get into a rhythm, it’s hard to stop.
Right now we’ve got a great rhythm going at the University of Louisville
It’s the right beat, the perfect pace, moving us in the right direction.
A trip to the Sugar Bowl was sweet topping on a great 2012
We celebrated the restoration of an icon.
The Thinker embodies the work we do as a university
We continue to beat the drum for federal research grants, earning close to 200 million bucks in 2012.
Doctors, researchers, clinicians, work together in collaboration
They create new knowledge
New ways of diagnosing disease, but more importantly, new ways of treating disease.
We continued the charge of making campus a great place to study, live, work and play
with groundbreaking on a new 37 and a half million dollar rec center on the west side of campus
To ensure that students’ voices were heard, to ensure that this represented the voice of the students,
the desire of the students, the wishes of the students, to ensure that all of that took place
it didn’t matter what we were giving up to have those discussions. It was worth it.

And while our men’s basketball team squared off at the Final Four in New Orleans
our students were celebrating the achievements back home on campus
We continued the charge of making our community a better one
The signature partnership celebrated 5 years of lending a hand, reaching out to those in need.
Since 2007, over 3 thousand UofL students and over 400 UofL faculty and staff have worked with
79 different community partnerships to provide services that are a benefit to the people of West Louisville.
We began work on an access road that will lead to a new 39 acre research park behind
the Speed School of Engineering, on land where the old Kentucky Trailer Company used to be.
We opened doors to the first Shelbyhurst office building which continues the development
of our great asset on the east side of town.
We celebrated downtown, too, with the topping off of the Nucleus Innovation Park.
The University of Louisville and our wholly owned subsidiary, Nucleus, are committed to sustainability.
We’re committed to economic development and those 2 do go hand in hand.
We continue to partner with world class companies, many of whom also call Louisville home
like General Electric.
This is the first agreement of its kind we’ve had in Kentucky
Streamlining the research crosses between GE and UofL’s engineering and physics schools
to help us get better leadership products to the market faster.
Our students continued to be world class as well with 8 Fulbright Scholars, 36 in the past 3 years
More than Duke, Notre Dame and Emery
Those scholars and all of our students continue to hear from world leaders who come to our campus.
All the people we’ve gotten to see from our freshman year, starting out with Chief Justice John Roberts
we’ve seen Senator McCain, Vice President Biden, and Secretary Clinton

The people when you look back is just unreal, the opportunities we’ve been given.
The beat continued with the announcement of a partnership between UofL University Hospital
and Kentucky One Health, securing the future of healthcare for the people of our community.
Kentucky One will provide to both UMC and the University of Louisville
ensure that we can continue to be a leader in medical education, medical research
while providing the very best in clinical care.
And we marched into a new conference, the ACC, a perfect fit for our sports teams
and just as importantly, verifying the upward trajectory of our academic profile
as we join other great academic institutions.
It’s our job as athletic administrators, as university administrators,
as people that are members of this wonderful community
to change with it and I think this opportunity coming forth for us, we couldn't ask for a better fit.
A year in rhythm, and the beat goes on, maybe even bigger and stronger in 2013.
