‘UK at the Half’: UK celebrates first-gen students
Around 25% of all students who attend the University of Kentucky are first-generation students. This means that their parent(s) or guardians did not complete a four-year college or university degree. At the university, not only do we welcome these trailblazers with open arms, but we also provide them with the resources needed for them to thrive. In doing so, UK recently celebrated National First-Generation Week, hosted by the Office for Student Success.
For this “UK at the Half,” listen to the stories of current first-generation students.
“UK at the Half” airs during halftime of each UK football and basketball game broadcast on the radio and is hosted by UK Public Relations and Marketing. To hear the “UK at the Half” interview, click here.
