Course Description
This webinar introduces a wonderful story of how the University of Kentucky and James B. Beam Institute worked together to fulfill the demand for hand sanitizer on campus and within the local community.
In 2019, the University of Kentucky (UK) and Jim Beam® formed a partnership with the goal of facilitating the growth of Kentucky’s spirits industry and as a result, created the James B. Beam Institute. The Institute is a collaboration between the UK colleges of Agriculture, Food and Environment; Arts and Sciences; Business and Economics; and Engineering. Its vision is to educate the next generation of distillers through a curriculum that develops skills for undergraduates, graduate students and professionals to succeed in the distilled spirits industry.[1]When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S., the demand for hand sanitizer exploded while supplies drastically lagged. In response, some spirit distillers stepped up and re-purposed their alcohol supply to manufacture hand sanitizer in order to ease the shortage. The Beam Institute saw this as a tremendous opportunity to support the needs of UK along with the local healthcare community. Seth DeBolt, director of the Beam Institute and horticulture professor in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, and Barry Swanson, UK’s CPO have been the guiding force behind this collaborative effort.This collaboration connected multiple groups on the UK campus to include procurement, supply center, emergency operations, facilities (produced waterproof labels), college of pharmacy faculty and students and of course, the Beam Institute.
