LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 27, 2025) – In December of 2024, long-time agricultural and extension services leader Laura Stephenson was named vice president for land-grant engagement and dean of the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment (Martin-Gatton CAFE). With a career spanning decades in Cooperative Extension leadership in both Kentucky and Tennessee, Stephenson has worked at every level of the system—from county agent to state director—helping to connect research with real-world solutions for farmers, businesses, and communities. Now, as Dean, she's leading the college through a period of transformation, overseeing major facility upgrades, expanding workforce development programs, and strengthening partnerships that bridge agriculture, education, and public health. On this episode of Behind the Blue, Stephenson discusses her vision for the college, the evolving role of UK Extension in supporting producers of all sizes, and how agriculture touches every aspect of life in the Commonwealth—from farm to table, rural to urban, and beyond.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 17, 2024) – For Savannah Robin and Ilka Balk, what began as a "happy accident" turned into a major opportunity for students and employers alike. Robin, a lecturer in career and professional development for the University of Kentucky's Ag Equine Programs, received an email from Balk, associate director of the university's James B. Beam Institute for Kentucky Spirits, noting that both had scheduled career fairs at the Gatton Student Center on the same date and time. Instead of seeing it as a conflict, they recognized it as an opportunity to showcase two of Kentucky's signature industries—equine and spirits—in a single, unified career fair. The Kentucky Signature Industries Career Fair will bring together members from the equine and spirits industries to educate students on post-graduation career options on September 26, 2024. The collaboration also supported ongoing cross-disciplinary efforts between the Equine Programs and the Beam Institute, as students from the Gatton College of Business and Economics, the Stanley and Karen Pigman College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Communication and Information were already engaging with the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. “We're starting to see the trend that people will understand that farms don't just need farm managers; they need accountants, they need photographers,” Robin said. “We cross lots of different spaces, but we have places for all of the UK students and really career interested folks in any of these areas.” She added that they hope to build on the momentum from last year's fair to continue serving a broad range of Kentuckians – from students to alumni, employers and stakeholders – while highlighting how agricultural industries can benefit from diverse expertise. On this episode of ‘Behind the Blue', Robin and Balk discuss the university's symbiotic relationship with Kentucky's signature industries, the crucial role of alumni in connecting employers with UK, and the potential for students to discover career opportunities in fields they may never have previously considered.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 4, 2024) – Every year, more than 97% of Americans, and more than 1.6 billion people worldwide, move their clocks forward one hour in the spring — allowing for more evening light as part of daylight saving time (DST). Sure, that “spring forward” might make you more noticeably tired and cranky. But time is more than just numbers on a clock — it's a force that shapes our days, our routines and even our well-being. And according to Tyler Kleppe's new research, that heavy-eyed feeling doesn't just impact simple day-to-day tasks. In fact, the assistant professor in the Gatton College of Business and Economics at the University of Kentucky, has shown losing that hour is also affecting higher stakes decisions — like investing for one's retirement. “Even if you're not directly involved in capital markets, our financial system is relevant to all of us,” Kleppe said. “That's why it remains important to evaluate regulatory actions and continue asking if they are effective.” A number of studies show that DST transitions can negatively impact decision-making processes due to the disturbance they have on our circadian rhythm. For example, research finds people experience more pronounced mood swings. There are also more serious consequences, such as an increase in car accidents and an uptick in health complications. But little is known about the influence on financial markets. “Really the core question we're exploring here is: can that disruption impact how investors respond to firms' earnings disclosures?” Kleppe explained. “Then, we can have one more piece of evidence to help inform the national debate surrounding daylight saving time.” On this episode of ‘Behind the Blue', Kleppe discusses his research on how DST transitions impact investors' reactions to corporate earnings news. You can also learn more about Kleppe and his research here, and you can find more information about Gatton College here. "Behind the Blue" is available on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 3, 2019) – Ed Berry became a member of the University of Kentucky football team after graduating from Eminence High School in Henry County, Kentucky just over a decade ago.
