Hey, I am Rev. Bill Hughes. I am originally from the Chicago area, but I came to Kentucky in 1977. I met my wife in college; we now have four kids and live in Lexington. In 1985 I was ordained as a Methodist pastor. I have been here at UK for 12 years, and I look forward to the years I have ahead of me here at the UKWF. The Wesley Foundation is a very unique ministry that I am glad to be a part of. The Foundation is a great ministry and also a great living environment for students. We have a very unique chance to interact with one another on a daily basis and speak into each others' lives as well as walk together in Christ on a very close basis. I am looking forward to this next year and seeing what God is going to do.


Hello, my name is Julie.  I am excited to be the Women’s Campus Minister at the University of Kentucky.  Before coming to UK I spent 2 years working for the Florida International University Wesley Foundation in Miami where I was the leader in an intentional Christian community house for young adults.  Originally, I am from Columbia, KY. I grew up there on my family’s farm.. I attended Lindsey Wilson College where I earned my BA in Communications and Christian Ministries as well as a MA in Christian Leadership.  During my college years I became passionate about campus ministry. My desire is to experience the real presence of God everyday and show others the way to Jesus. Other than doing ministry stuff, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors. I cycle, swim, and run to name a few things. Hanging out with friends and enjoying good cups of coffee are also at the top of my list.
