David A. Brennen, dean of the University of Kentucky College of Law, has been selected to participate in the American Council on Education's (ACE) Fellows Program, the longest running leadership development program in the United States. Dean Brennen is one of 39 emerging college and university leaders chosen for the 2019-20 class of ACE Fellows.

"I am particularly interested in focusing on leadership challenges in higher education so that I can better serve as a student-centered leader who contributes to maximizing opportunities for creativity, innovation and access.”
