Partnership and Pride in Action
Dear Thorobred Family,
Progress is most meaningful when it creates opportunity, strengthens relationships, and inspires a community to take pride in what it can accomplish. Across Kentucky State University, we are seeing that progress reflected in new partnerships, national engagement, and the achievements of our students.
We also celebrated a new KSU Edge partnership with Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. that creates a supported pathway for eligible Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. alumni to pursue a Master of Business Administration at Kentucky State. The three-year agreement, which includes a 10 percent tuition reduction and guidance throughout the enrollment process, marks Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.’s first educational partnership with an HBCU.
As a member of the Divine Nine, Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. shares Kentucky State’s
commitment to scholarship, leadership, and service. Its connection to the University
extends back more than four decades through the Alpha Omicron Chapter, chartered on
our campus in 1981. This partnership builds upon that history and opens new opportunities
for alumni to advance their education and careers.
That same spirit of preparation and purpose was evident on the football field as the Thorobreds opened the season with a decisive 41-14 victory over Central State University. After scoring 34 unanswered points, Kentucky State climbed four places to No. 2 in the BOXTOROW Division II Coaches Poll. We congratulate our scholar-athletes, coaches, and athletics staff on an outstanding start and look forward to supporting them throughout the season.
These developments unfolded in different settings, but together they tell a shared
story. Kentucky State is strengthening relationships, expanding opportunity, and demonstrating
what is possible when preparation and purpose are matched by action.
Let us continue building upon this momentum and showing, in every part of our University,
what partnership and Thorobred pride can accomplish.
Together, Onward and Upward,
Koffi C. Akakpo, Ph.D.
President
Kentucky State University
