Northern Kentucky University President Cady Short-Thompson launched a new initiative to garner support for the school’s philanthropic efforts.
The CST Circle, a donor-engagement initiative, is designed to involve alumni, faculty, staff, students, and community supporters in supporting the university’s philanthropy. Its purpose is to direct financial contributions toward key philanthropic priorities that strengthen faculty, students, and higher education as a whole.
“When community comes together, transformation follows,” Short-Thompson said in a news release. “By rooting ourselves in our network and inspiring support for the university, we foster transformation that advances the mission of NKU and sustains our highest priority: student success.”
Members of the CST Circle will have the chance to connect directly with Short-Thompson and provide feedback on the university’s strategic direction. NKU is welcoming alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, and friends to participate in the initiative.
Short-Thompson was appointed as NKU’s president in October 2023, before being officially inaugurated in April 2024. She is the first female president in the history of the university.
