Stephanie Wyatt is a junior majoring in Architecture with a minor in Business. She hopes someday to own her own firm and specialize in low-income housing. She made a tough but rewarding commitment to study at UK, which is far from her family in Austin, Texas. She hopes to help both students and parents in coping with their long-distance relationships and to share a few tricks of the trade for dorm dwellers and for those that live off campus. One thing she is adamant about sharing is how many safe and free things there are to do on campus, ranging from movie showings and comedy acts to midnight pancakes. She also wants students and parents to know that there is a place for everyone when it comes to club activities. She is committed to her studies and uses The Study and CARES group studies often. In her spare time, she loves to ride Hunter Jumper and Dressage horses and trail ride with friends.
