Dear President Capilouto,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history, social justice, environmental protection, and diversity. In these subjects or core values I like t learn the need civil rights  to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background,  a need for education reform to make learning a better tool, and a strong importance of social justice to improve communities. President Capilouto, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your 12^th President of the University of Kentucky to be very inspiring to me.

In your current role as 12^th President of the University of Kentucky is how you are a strong supporter and advocate of civil rights causes by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and expressing the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination in order to protect women, minorities, and people with disabilities.  Supporting accommodations to help students with disabilities like extra time on exams or use educational software to help improve comprehension, expanding tutoring services to provide students with help on their assignments from tutors,  implementing more liberal arts, arts, humanities, history, and basic classes to make education diverse along with make more opportunities for students to find subjects that they want to learn are great ways to improve education reform.  On diversity, I like on how you work on hiring women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for the college and expand on programs to help educate staff members and students about different cultures along with the need for diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background. Another thing that I like about your work as President of University of Kentucky is how you expand on more research programs to help students get engage to learn how different topics can make a great difference for society, push for more scholarships to help low income students or minorities get assistance on getting into college or affording supplies, and heavily express the need to reduce high tuition cost to help students from paying high costs in order to get into a college.  Besides your work as President University of Kentucky I like on how you are a continuous strong supporter of civil rights causes, advocate for environmental protection to reduce pollution, push for more funds for arts to help students including the community to understand along with learn about  arts play a role in society, emphasize the need for more liberal arts in colleges, and express the need for immigration reform to help protect immigrants, dreamers, and refugees from being oppressed.  Also I like on how you are heavily an advocate for the need for better health care reform like have programs to promote health and wellness center to educate people about nutrition along with reduce obesity, expand on medical research to help find ways to cure diseases along with improve on medicine, and many others.

President Capilouto, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased. Your commitment to be a strong supporter of civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  On Youtube I enjoy watching videos of you explaining about the need for education reform to improve learning, heavily express the need for diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background, and the need to make social justice a better place.  Also I like watching “Campus Walk with UK President Eli Capilouto” because I like learning about University of Kentucky and some of your goals to improve the college along with explaining how University of Kentucky plays a role in society.  Your role as 12^th President of the University of Kentucky gives me motivation to learn history, social justice, environmental protection, and diversity. My future goal is to work in these areas to help emphasize the need civil rights to be stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have diversity to accept people who are different or come from a different background, a need for education reform to make learning a better tool, and a strong importance of social justice to improve communities.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights, protect the environment, expand on education reform, improve diversity, and many others.  You have inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn about your work, and continue to learn history, social justice, diversity, and environmental protection.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. Please continue to make a difference for society.
