NKU is a growing metropolitan university of more than 14,000 students served by more than 2,000 faculty and staff on a thriving suburban campus near Cincinnati.
Located in the quiet suburb of Highland Heights, Kentucky—just seven miles southeast of Cincinnati—we have become a leader in Greater Cincinnati and Kentucky by providing a private school education for a fraction of the cost. While we are one of the fastest growing universities in Kentucky, our professors still know our students' names.

As interim president, St. Amand is responsible for guiding the University in the continued successful implementation of its 2013-18 strategic plan, which focuses on delivering innovative, student-centered education while contributing to the economic, civic, and social vitality of the region.
