About Us

ODYSSEY is published by the Office of the Vice President for Research and covers the latest research advances, innovative scholarship, and outstanding people that are part of the University of Kentucky's $324-million-a-year research enterprise.

Since two issues of Odyssey a year can only give a small sampling of the hundreds of important and exciting research projects at the university, in 2003 Odyssey added a Web-only edition, Odyssey onlineexclusive, a way to further publicize work by UK faculty and staff.

ODYSSEY began in 1982 and is distributed to nearly 27,000 UK alumni, local and state decision makers, media, Kentucky public libraries, friends of UK across the country, and full-time faculty.

Over the years, Odyssey has received many awards from CASE-Kentucky, part of the national organization that supports educational advancement. In 2007, Odyssey was honored twice: The 25th anniversary issue won the Grand Award for Magazines and Alicia Gregory received an Excellence Award for Feature Writing for "Green Energy," the cover story for Winter 2007. In 2006, Jeff Worley received an Excellence Award for Feature Writing for "Miles Osland: Packing a Mean Sax" which appeared in the Fall 2005 issue. And in 2001 Odyssey won the Grand Award for Magazines for the Fall 2000 issue, the Excellence Award for Magazines for the Spring 2001 issue, and Excellence Awards for Feature Writing for "Technology with the Human Touch" (Jeff Worley) and "Not Dying for Their Art" (Alicia Gregory).

Odyssey is a member of the University Research Magazine Association.
