University of Kentucky Analytics and Technologies (UKAT) has reached an agreement to roll out Canvas by Instructure over the next year as the university’s new learning management system (LMS) for faculty and students.
Trying to tell someone else who I am is like throwing a box of photos on the floor and scrambling to pick the most important pictures out in one hand: there are thousands of memories, but I can only share a handful at once.
Lexington is where I am from and where I grew up. Although I am an only child, I grew up around a large extended family. I can never forget how important meeting my cousins, aunts, uncles, and other relatives was every Sunday after church at Granny’s was when I was younger. Community grew on me as well. I studied abroad for five weeks in Mexico while at Transy. I have a broad sense of family that includes those from my family of faith, birth, workplace, community, and worldwide.
My life has changed a lot in just couple of years. I have gotten married, changed location in Lexington, changed location in the College… all fairly close together. I was filled with joy to meet and marry my wife, Latise. This is helping to complete the picture of family for me (of course – stand by for updates to the family list!).
Earlier this year, A&S announced an award designed to honor 2 outstanding senior student employees each academic year. One of the winners of the 2014-2015 award was Savannah Tate. Savannah maintained a 3.82 cumulative GPA during her time as a student at UK. Before she even graduated, she was able to secure a full-time position working in the UK Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
We asked Savannah to share with us a few tidbits about her time as a student employee in A&S:
Q: How long have you worked in A&S as a student employee?
A: I’ve worked with A&S as a student employee for three and a half years.
Q: What has been your most memorable experience as a student employee?
A: One of my most memorable experiences as a student worker was the realization that I could make a difference in the lives of others even in the few hours I spent at work per week. I realized that a smile, a kind word, and a helpful attitude can go a long way in brightening someone else’s day.
Q: What work product are you most proud of?
