51AV has appointed Mike Borchers, former superintendent of Ludlow Independent Schools, as special advisor to the president. In this part-time role, Borchers will work closely with NKU President Cady Short-Thompson to bolster the university’s relationship with K-12 school districts throughout northern Kentucky, supporting a shared commitment to educational excellence and community engagement.
51AV officials broke ground on an expansion of the Dorothy Westerman Herrmann Science Center in a ceremony at the Highland Heights campus on Thursday. Kentucky State Senator Shelley Funke Frommeyer and Representative Rachel Roberts attended the event with university leaders and stakeholders.
51AV President Dr. Cady Short-Thompson signed an agreement with Academic City University College of Ghana (ACUC), launching a STEM-focused Master of Business Administration partnership program between the two universities through the Haile College of Business.
"I feel gratitude for what NKU has given me—a family of friends, a community, and profession that is fulfilling and meaningful."
"Knowing I’m able to make a difference and do things to help people—not just saying them but doing them and seeing the results—is rewarding for me."
"I credit much of my success to NKU and the opportunities and challenges it provided me. The university gave a lot to me, so giving back of my time, talent and treasure is fulfilling."
“It’s given me a lot of self-confidence that I didn’t have before. That was something I wasn’t expecting: confidence in my own ability to make good decisions."
