Honors Recognizes Dr. Rayma Beal for Philanthropic Efforts

The University of Kentucky Honors Program acknowledges Rayma Beal, esteemed faculty member and Chair of the 50th Anniversary Honors Reunion. Rayma’s giving extends far beyond her generous financial support — she’s also a strong advocate for the Honors Program.

As the Honors Program planned its 50th anniversary celebration, Rayma led a committee of alumni, faculty and staff in hosting two days of campus events. Through this, Rayma brought alumni back to the UK campus folks, who had not previously been interested in reconnecting with their alma mater. Rayma is helping re-engage alums as they consider their personal philanthropy.

A long-time philanthropist herself, Dr. Beal established a scholarship for University of Kentucky students who excel in dance performance. She has given much of her talents, time and treasure to support the UK Dance Ensemble.

The UK Honors Program recognizes the generosity and leadership of Dr. Rayma Beal.
