Transformative Learning Mission and Values

TL has three programmatic pillars to serve students, faculty, and staff across campus. Within these pillars, TL also has programmatic support in the form of assessment, marketing, and campus outreach.

The three programmatic pillars work interdependently to meet the needs of UK students and serve to create and establish a cycle of student success. Specifically, TL programs create opportunities for students to gain invaluable study skills and strategies for success through TL-sponsored collaborations, which lays the foundation for content-specific knowledge acquisition in coursework that is continually reinforced and supported by Peer Supported Learning services (The Study Peer Tutoring, Supplemental Instruction, & Presentation U: Speaking & Writing Center), Integrated Success Coaching, UK101/201 and APP programs.

• We should meet our students where they are in their individual academic and personal journeys

• When students’ basic needs are met, we all have the opportunity to learn

• We have a duty to remove barriers so that all students can lead lives of purpose and meaning
