Dear Prospective UK student,

Welcome to a world of DISCOVERY!

Now in its 13th year, the DISCOVERY SEMINAR PROGRAM (DSP) continues to be a most exciting opportunity for first-year students. Just as soon as you arrive on campus, we want you to be discovering how exciting your college experience can be at UK. DSP offers small classes with the most engaging professors at UK, who are ready to help you discover with them the frontiers of knowledge. In the academic year 2008-09, our faculty will be offering seminars on such topics as social inequality, the environment, religion and politics, community service, music, art, and, American sign language.

You are invited to register for the seminars described in this brochure. The seminars fill up quickly, so register early. Remember, DSP courses are alternative ways to fulfill a USP requirement in the Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, or the Humanities. You are able to register for one 100-level seminar offered in the Fall or in the Spring of your first year at UK. Also, some of the seminars are part of UK’s Living Learning Communities, and others require that you also enroll in a specific section of UK101. Each of the descriptions in this brochure gives you the full information you will need to register.

Be sure to ask your advisor about the Discovery Seminar Program, or if you have additional questions feel free to contact Lynn Hiler, the Program Coordinator, at 859.257.6894 or clynnhiler@uky.edu.

Sincerely,

Joanna M. Badagliacco, Ph. D.
Director
