COVID-19 has been a harsh reality in 2020, and permeated almost every aspect of everyone's daily life.
Campus life has been no different.
With the many changes college campuses faced in Kentucky, and around the world, EKU President David McFaddin said he wanted to find a way to give back to the university staff and employees.
During the Dec. 10 Board of Regents meeting, McFaddin announced the Colonels Care Employee Initiative, which would give employees a $1,000 bonus.
âI think this is one of the most important investments we have made to the university in the last several years,â McFaddin said.
McFaddin explained this initiative is meant as a 'thank you' to EKUâs staff who worked tirelessly to keep EKUâs students learning. For their hard work, the administration will give a $1,000 'investment' to every full-time employee who has been with employed at the Richmond-based college since Sept. 30, 2020.
