Transformational Leadership
Feb. 10-11, 2025 | University of Kentucky, Gatton Student Center
Join us for our fourteenth annual Kentucky Student Success Summit, where we will focus on leadership and how we, as individuals and as campuses, can foster collaboration and innovation between Kentucky's campuses and other sectors.
Opening Keynote - Dr. Tristan Denley
Dr. Tristan Denley currently serves as Deputy Commissioner for Academic Affairs and Innovation at the Louisiana Board of Regents. Throughout his career, he has taken a hands-on approach in a variety of initiatives impacting student success. Among his most recent work has been the development and implementation of a comprehensive system-scale student success strategy known as the Momentum Year, which transforms developmental education and advising. Implementation of the Momentum Year in Georgia increased system-wide, four-year graduation rates by 20%, and by 30% for African American students. He also developed and launched the nexus degree, which is a new accredited degree type, which integrates multi-course learning and internship/apprenticeship requirements.
