(March 19, 2014) — Lexington Mayor Jim Gray will lead the next event in the "see tomorrow." Speaker Series at 4 p.m. Monday, March 24, in the William T. Young Library Auditorium.
As one core tenant of the plan focuses on UK's community impact, Gray will discuss "town and gown" relations between the university and the city.
"UK President Eli Capilouto and I often quote the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan who said that 'to create a great city, you create a great university, and you wait 200 years.' UK is nearly 150 years, and we’re seeing the fruits of that growth and partnership between university and community."
The former CEO of international construction firm Gray Construction, Gray became Lexington's mayor in 2011.
