Carl Harper

Staff Senate Chair

Senate Term: July 2024 - June 2027

I came to UK in 1992 as a student (receiving both my undergraduate and masters degrees) and began working in the Department of Entomology in the College of Ag, Food, and Environment (CAFÉ) in 1996. I am currently a Senior Nursery Inspector. When CAFÉ created their Staff Council, I was nominated to be a part of the committee. As chair of the Staff Council, I became part of the Staff Senate Development Task Force working on the bylaws committee creating the bylaws for our soon to be Staff Senate! I was elected to the Staff Senate and have served as Vice Chair of the Staff Senate, as Chair of the Bylaws Committee, Staff Senate Treasurer and currently the Staff Senate Chair.
