At the University of Pikeville (UPIKE), educators play a crucial role in inspiring and supporting students, showing steadfast dedication to their growth and success. To honor the extraordinary career commitment of educators in the region, UPIKE annually inducts individuals into its prestigious Distinguished Educators Hall of Fame.

Nominated by colleagues, former students, or community members, these outstanding professionals will be honored during a special induction ceremony on Tuesday, October 1, at 6 p.m. in Booth Auditorium.
