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. 

‘School is a lot easier with a good friend’

The first time they met was on Zoom. It would be almost a year later before they talked in person.

But by that time, they’d be the best of friends.

“When we were ambassadors in 2020, everything was online,” Brooke says.

Scott Lephart, PhD and Dean of the College of Health Sciences, looked out over the crowd and smiled.

“Today, we’re honoring the most important people in our College,” he said. “Our students.”

The idea came up during an interview over Zoom.

Ryan Clark, the director of communications for the College of Health Sciences, said he was listening back to an interview that was recorded over Zoom when he thought the conversation sounded pretty good.

“It sounded like a podcast,” he said.

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.

Here at the CHS News Desk, we thought it might be fun to run down the stories that received the most clicks and views from 2022. As we reviewed them, we saw exactly why they garnered so much attention. Some made us laugh and cry. Some inspired. Some were just important and informed us.

No matter the topic, each one made it crystal clear: Last year was a big and important time for the College of Health Sciences. 

Without further ado, let's reveal the list. Cue the drumroll, if you like.

For professors in the College of Health Sciences, they have a luxury some others could only hope for.

They are utilizing their undergraduate students to help with their research.

There's a saying in life that you always want to leave your audience wanting more.

It was certainly true Friday in the College of Health Sciences. But in this case, the CHS Office of Student Affairs left them wanting S'mores.
