Congratulations are in order for Kiersten White.

After all, she just recently graduated with a Human Health Sciences degree, on the Athletic Training track. But according to her, she has so much more to do.

The construction phase of the new University of Kentucky Health Education Building was approved Friday by the UK Board of Trustees.

The $380 million project was authorized by the 2022 Kentucky General Assembly and the design phase was approved by the Board of Trustees in May 2021. 

Last weekend, UK had the opportunity to host Kentucky Athletic Training Society's annual symposium and some of our students and our preceptors got in on the action!

There, Hannah Hoch, PhD, ATC, was honored with the KATS 2022-2023 Educator/Preceptor of the year.

On Thursday, May 18, the College of Health Sciences came out for an end of the year celebration at the Longship Club at Kroger Field.

Kennedy Brown says she’s excited — and a little nervous.

It makes sense.

Here, in the College of Health Sciences’ Department of Athletic Training, we look for a certain kind of individual — someone who has the passion to strive for greatness, the burning desire to help others, and the expectation to do great things.

Because we help these students achieve their dreams.

As the most comprehensive Athletic Training program in the country, we are ready to guide the next generation of AT professionals. We have the path, and we’re ready to show you the way.

It was a celebratory kind of day as the College of Health Sciences honored its own faculty and staff at a luncheon Thursday morning. 

"I'd like to acknowledge all the faculty and staff for all you've done to support our mission in the College," said Karen Badger, PhD, MSW and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Undergraduate Education for CHS.
