Access, Engagement, and Belonging for Impact

Kentucky State University promotes a campus climate where students, faculty, and staff feel welcomed, supported, and respected. This principle and core value is incorporated into our teaching, learning, research, outreach, operations, and decision making.

Everyone contributes by implementing practices guided by standards and behaviors that demonstrate a respect for individual’s needs to reach their full potential.
