Rachel Woods never thought she’d be a Division I athlete at the University of Kentucky.

In fact, the Louisville native grew up rooting against the Wildcats, as did her entire family. So, the chances of her going to school in Lexington were, at best, remote.

Throughout the semester, students in Dr. Karen Skaff’s Human Health Sciences 356 class have had the unique opportunity to learn about healthcare in countries across the world. From Uganda and Greece to Taiwan and Denmark, these students have worked together to become experts on one country, and then share that with the class.

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.
