< PreviousUniversity of Louisville The University of Louis- ville boasts some of the nation’s best and brightest minds amid a friendly, park- like setting in the heart of Kentucky’s largest city. UofL serves as an engine that powers Metro Louisville and the commonwealth. Our more than 22,000 students, 7,000 faculty and staff, and 140,000 alumni contribute daily to ideas and innovations that make lives better. UofL has been named a national top producer of Ful- bright awards, with more than 130 UofL students and alumni earning this international studies award since 2003. This total is greater than all of Kentucky’s other public universities combined and is on par with several Ivy League universities. Young people who choose UofL enjoy a wide range of study options – more than 200 fields in 12 schools and colleges. The city also serves as a classroom for UofL students, who benefit from internships and partner- ships with Fortune 500 companies such as Kindred Healthcare, Ford, Haier (formerly General Electric), Humana, Yum! Brands and others, as well as Metropolitan College, a unique work-study program with UPS. UofL students reside in an urban oasis where the improvements never stop. The lat- est addition is the Belknap Academic Build- ing, which houses four stories of modern instructional space and a student success center. An expanded Student Activities Center features enhanced dining options, study spaces and meeting facilities. Ekstrom Library ren- ovations included the addi- tion of the Teaching Inno- vation Learning Lab, where instructors can experiment with new technology and equipment to enhance learn- ing opportunities for students. Other noteworthy facilities include one of the nation’s top 10 academic clean rooms, where work in bio- engineering, nanotechnology and other high-demand fields takes place. Apartment-style housing and a sparkling student recreation center provide first-class places to live and play on campus. UofL is a leader in research with faculty who have conducted the world’s first suc- cessful implantation of an artificial heart and the nation’s first successful hand transplant. Our faculty currently lead the world’s first FDA-approved clinical trial using adult car- 38 University of Louisville | gocards.comgocards.com | University of Louisville 39 University of Louisville diac stem cells to treat heart disease and pioneered the use of locomotion training to help paralyzed patients walk again. Innovation runs rampant across UofL, and corporate partners are joining with the university to help bridge the tech gap. The university recently partnered with Microsoft to explore the future of artificial intelligence and provide digital literacy training. Addi- tionally, the university is working with IBM to establish an IBM Skills Academy in the newly-created Center for Digital Transforma- tion on Belknap Campus. The academy will provide curriculum and educational tools concentrated on eight fast-growing technol- ogy areas: artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, cybersecurity, cloud computing, internet of things, quantum computing, data science and design thinking. In recent years UofL has emerged as a hub for advanced manufacturing. Through partnerships with industry leaders such as General Electric, faculty and students are able to interact with makers from around the world, whether they are present physically or connected virtually. In addition, UofL has installed maker spaces in the West End School and Nativity Academy — both locat- ed in lower income areas of Louisville — to allow at-risk students to learn the latest 3-D printing techniques and envision a whole new world of opportunity. UofL recently expanded its healthcare enterprise by acquiring several Louisville- area health assets including UofL Health – Jewish Hospital, UofL Health – Frazier Rehab Institute, three additional regional hospitals, four regional medical centers and numerous physician groups. The expanded UofL Health enterprise ensures a continua- tion of high-quality medical care to patients throughout our community and beyond. UofL stands out for its efforts to serve the needs of its community. One of only 69 universities in the United States to achieve Carnegie Foundation Research 1 and Com- munity Engaged University status, UofL is ranked among the nation’s best universities for African American and LGBTQ+ students. UofL’s Signature Partnership, a project with community organizations and businesses to improve the social, cultural, educational, health care and economic development services in a historically underserved area of Louisville, is considered a national model for community engagement. UofL remains committed to ensuring a nurturing and challenging intellectual cli- mate that demonstrates a genuine under- standing of how diversity enriches a vibrant metropolitan research university. Under the leadership of President Neeli Bendapudi, the university celebrates diversity, fosters equity, and strives for inclusion, making UofL a great place to learn, a great place to work and a great place in which to invest.Dr. Neeli Bendapudi n President n University of Louisville Neeli Bendapudi is the 18th President of the University of Louisville.

He had previously served in an interim role leading Cardi- nal Athletics for six months prior to his appointment in that role on Oct. 3, 2017. Tyra (pronounced TIE- ray) has been highly active since assuming his position, using his business acumen, pas- sion for Cardinal Athletics and background in athletics to advance UofL onward. He has provided leadership while continuing to move the Cardinals forward in all sports, building upon the positive legacy of previ- ous athletics successes, and taking the time to personally reach out to the UofL fan base and donors on multiple fronts through improved customer service. Tyra has instilled strong principles with established core beliefs and goals to drive the essence of the Cardinals’ athletics program moving forward. He has taken steps to stabi- lize the future of the Cardinals by extending the contracts for key UofL coaches and adding new ones while making moves to efficiently restructure the administrative and support staff, all with an emphasis on enhancing the student-athlete experience for the Cardinals. Among those astute head coaching hires are men’s basketball’s Chris Mack and football’s Scott Satterfield, both of whom have had early success and quickly become fan favorites. Tyra’s leadership during the pandemic has been apparent, moving quickly in the spring to plan for budgetary adjustments and devel- oping protocols to get Cardinal student-ath- letes back on campus and into competition, well ahead of most athletic departments. He has monitored major capital projects, including a Cardinal Stadium expansion completed in August 2018, as well as con- structing and outfitting a broadcast center on campus in advance of the launch of the ACC Network in August 2019. A comprehen- sive study will help guide the timetable for upcoming future enhancements. Funding has been jumpstarted with a flurry of sub- stantial benevolent gifts from individuals and companies who believe in and align with the current Cardinals’ leadership and values. During Tyra’s first three years, Louisville has ranked among the top 35 schools in the nation in the Learfield Sports Direc- tor’s Cup national all-sports standings, making it seven straight seasons the Cardi- nals have ranked among the nation’s top 35. UofL was poised for one of their top seasons in the standings at No. 8 nationally in Fall 2019 before the winter and spring championships were can- celled due to COVID-19. Cardinal athletic teams have achieved impressive academic results, posted a collective 3.507 GPA during the most recent 2020 Spring semester. Five UofL athletic teams -- men’s and women’s basketball, women’s cross country, women’s golf and volleyball – received public recognition awards for ranking in the top 10 percent in the most recent Academic Progress Rate. The Cardinals have been generous with their service time as UofL won 2019-20 NCAA Division I Team Works Award Com- petition for outstanding community service. UofL has ranked among the top five nation- ally in all six years of the competition, including winning it a second time earlier. Tyra’s efforts have strengthened UofL’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclu- sion, through the departmental goals and values statements and the creation of the Cardinals S.O.A.R. (Strategically Organizing Against Racism) Committee. The committee works to provide educational opportuni- ties and resources to enhance knowledge and empower action; create brave and safe spaces to build and sustain a supportive anti- racist community; and implement initiatives to assist and serve underrepresented and historically marginalized groups. Prior to his appointment at UofL, Tyra served as an operating partner since 2007 for Southfield Capital, a Greenwich, Conn. based private equity firm that invests in lower middle market companies. In his role there, Tyra served as chairman of the board of numerous investments to include Hallcon Corp, RCR International, Total Fleet Solu- tions, Dealer Financial Services, and Bio- Pharm Communications. Tyra most recently served as chairman of the board and interim Chief Executive Officer of Elite Medical, a company based in Clearwater, Fla. Tyra was a corporate advisor from 2008- 2017 for ISCO Industries, a privately held piping supply company based in Louisville, Ky. He also formerly served as the president of Retail and Activewear for Fruit of the Loom in Bowling Green, Ky. Tyra has served as a member of the University of Louisville Foundation Board of Directors and chaired the organization’s Finance Committee. He joined the board in February 2017, but stepped down from the position after his appointment with Cardinal Athletics. He has served on the board of Industrial Services of America, a Louisville-based scrap metal recycling company. A former standout athlete himself, Tyra graduated from Trinity High School in Lou- isville in 1984 as the state’s top baseball prospect and was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame. He was a four-year baseball letterman (1985-88) and two-time team cap- tain at the University of Kentucky, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in health administration in 1989. He started 37 career games as a pitcher for Kentucky, tied for 14th at UK. A long-time supporter of UofL Athletics, his father Charlie Tyra was a consensus All- America at UofL, led the Cardinals to the 1956 National Invitation Tournament Cham- pionship and is one of four players with his jersey number (No. 8) retired at UofL, along with Wes Unseld, Darrell Griffith and Pervis Ellison. Tyra and his wife Lori have five children: Sydney, Audrey, Olivia, Spencer and Cooper. The Tyra Family: (from left) Cooper, Olivia, Lori, Vince, Audrey, Sydney and Spencer.

INCIDENT RESPONSE TEAM FCA-SPIRITUAL COUNSELING PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES PERFORMANCE TEAM SYSTEMSCity of Louisville The Louisville area owes its existence to the Falls of the Ohio, the only place where the 981-mile Ohio River flows over bedrock. The falls were really a rapids where the river dropped about 27 feet in three miles, usually blocking passage by boat. Early explorers recognized the strategic importance of the Falls. George Rogers Clark established the first settlement there in 1778, to use as a base of his invasion of British ter- ritory in Southern Illinois and Indiana. Two years later that settlement became Louisville -- named for King Louis XVI of France, who was supporting the American Revolution. Louisville quickly became a vital transpor- tation center for the young nation. Ports were establish above and below the Falls. Passen- gers and freight moved overland around the rapids. Trails and roads connected the ports to inland settlements in Kentucky and Indi- ana. The steamboat brought prosperity and growth to the area; by 1850, Louisville was the 10th-largest city in the nation. In the decades that followed, railroads greatly improved connections with cit- ies throughout the nation, and Louisville became known as the “Gateway to the South.” Businesses and industries were attracted by the strong and convenient trans- portation network and Louisville became an industrial center. In recent years, the economy of the Lou- isville area has shifted from a heavy reliance on industry to an increasing emphasis on services, including earning a worldwide rep- utation as a transportation and distribution center. Once again, location is a key factor. Louisville is located near the center of the eastern half of the contiguous 48 states, with nearly half of the nation’s consumer markets within a 500-mile radius. The climate is mild enough that Louisville’s airport is rarely closed because of weather. Climate, location and a good transporta- tion system helped convince United Parcel Service to establish its national hub in Louisville in the early 1980s. UPS, in turn, is attracting businesses that depend on fast and efficient transportation of their goods to other parts of the nation and throughout the world. The Kentucky Center for the Arts is one of the nation’s premier performing arts facili- ties, housing three spacious theatres. Sports, including UofL athletics, are an important facet of life in the Louisville area. Churchill Downs has hosted three Breed- ers’ Cups and continues its traditional Run For The Roses -- the Kentucky Derby -- the first Saturday each May. The 1996, 2000 and 2014 PGA Championships were staged at Valhalla Golf Course in eastern Jefferson County, which was also the site of the 2008 Ryder Cup international competition. The Louisville Bats, the triple-A baseball team of the Cincinnati Reds, have drawn over 1 million fans to games in a single season with Slugger Field stationed on the downtown riverfront. Over 140 public parks, 20 public golf courses and 226 public tennis courts also provide outdoor entertainment. Yet even though Louisville has changed through the years, it still has the flavor and gentleness of a Southern town. The Belle of Louisville steamboat still paddles its way up and down the Ohio River daily, mint juleps are still served under an old oak tree during the hot and muggy summers and fishing in the many lakes and rivers of Louisville and surrounding counties is still a favorite pastime. Another favorite in Louisville is trying to figure out the correct pronunciation of the city. So if you’re a tourist, don’t say Louie- ville or Lewis-ville. Natives claim it’s Lou-a- vuhl. Either way, Louisville is still the same happy place. 44 University of Louisville | gocards.com "The Ville" has been labeled as the Best College Sports Town in America Cardinal fans participate in a rally at Fourth Street Live!, a downtown entertainment area.City of Louisville gocards.com | University of Louisville 45 Louisville Quick Facts Louisville, Kentucky n Metropolitan area size: 2,179 square miles (includes eight neighboring counties). n Population: approximately 1.27 million, the nation’s 16th-largest urban area in population. n Median Age: 35.8 n Weather: average annual rainfall is 44 inches; average summer/fall temperature is 84 degrees; winter/spring temp. is 64. n Louisville ranks among the top 50 convention cities in the United States.
