Through our top-notch faculty and stellar degree programs, we have trained nearly 30,000 men and women. Our alumni continue to support us in numerous ways from partnering with us to employing our graduates to even lecturing on campus.

Carol Martin Gatton is one such alumnus. As a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a degree in business administration, Mr. Gatton knew first-hand the value of a UK business education. Coupling his business degree and keen business knowledge, Mr. Gatton saw a successful career in automobile dealerships, banking and real estate. His success has become our success. In 1995 Mr. Gatton invested $14 million into the College enabling us to continue offering a quality educational experience.

His gift to the College of Business and Economics was the largest in the history of the University at that time. Because of this, the Board of Trustees renamed the College in his honor. Today, Mr. Gatton remains highly involved with the College through our Business Partnership Foundation.
