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.

On Saturday, May 6, College of Health Sciences students participated in graduation ceremonies at Rupp Arena. 

We were there to chronicle all the fun. 

From starting off the day with coffees, to lining up and walking out to the arena, we followed our grads on their special day.

“UK, and the College of Health Sciences, are ready to hear what you have to say.”

“I was challenged to be the best version of myself.”

“My professors saw that I had — and I have — something to give.”

“They let me ask ‘Why?’”

“They gave me the freedom to explore opportunities.”

Students, Faculty and Staff,

Greetings, all. I hope you are continuing to have a safe and productive year. Because here in the College of Health Sciences, I am proud to say that we are being very productive.

Both in the classroom and out, we are striving to do our best to prepare our students, break new ground in terms of research and care for those across the Commonwealth.
That’s the way we do things in our College. And that’s what I want to talk more about.

Here in CHS, there’s a certain way in which we conduct ourselves.

Students, Faculty and Staff,

Greetings. I hope you’re all staying well.

Amazingly, we’re already nearing mid-Febraury. I hope this new year is continuing to be gracious and kind.

Once again, I wanted to draw your attention to our celebration of Black History Month. Perhaps you’ve already seen some of our stories honoring our amazing African-American students and alumni and how they’re changing the world for the better.

Students, Faculty and Staff,

I always say that I feel there is no better place to work on campus than the College of Health Sciences. One of the reasons I feel this way? Because of the way our faculty, staff and students honor and celebrate important times throughout the year.
