In only his third year at the University of Kentucky, Jason Brooks already is making a significant imprint by positively impacting the lives of students, faculty and staff across campus.

The Kansas native joined UK in 2018 as director of the Martin Luther King Center and promptly expanded programming, educational opportunities and outreach raising the profile of the center to many citizens in the greater Lexington area. In 2020, he was named to a new position, executive director of institutional engagement for UK.

In this edition of the ‘Behind the Blue’ podcast, Brooks talks with UK's Carl Nathe about the work he and his office are doing in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion and more.
