A new name for UK Psychology is just the beginning. 💙

For Rick Rothfuss ('72 psychology), the University of Kentucky was a turning point in his life. Now, he and Cathie Rothfuss are giving back in a transformational way.

The family's $10 million gift names the Richard M. and Catherine J. Rothfuss Department of Psychology and creates new opportunities for students, faculty and researchers, leaving a legacy that will shape generations of Wildcats to come.

We're grateful to the Rothfuss family for their extraordinary generosity and commitment to the future of UK.
