#Repost @ukyugr with @get_repost ・・・ 📣 NCUR 2020 UK STUDENT SPOTLIGHT📣 Meet Laura Cuevas Melendez, a junior Writing, Rhetoric & Digital Studies and Hispanic Studies major. Laura's research mentor is Carol Street in the Special Collections Research Center, University of Kentucky Learning Lab - @uklibraries Laura enjoys research "because it challenges me. There are times when your research does not go as you expected and it forces you to look at your research from a different perspective, question your methods and what you want to achieve with your research. Research allows me to sharpen my problem-solving skills in both my academic and personal life." Join @ukyugr in recognizing and celebrating UK's < F I F T Y > outstanding undergraduate research students who were selected to present their faculty-mentored research at the now-cancelled national conference and also represent the University of Kentucky on a national level!!! 😻 NCUR 2020 Student Spotlight will run through Monday, March 30.

Congratulations to WRD major, Kenny Trotter, Jr., for being honored with a Lyman T. Johnson Torchbearer Award. We love celebrating the accomplishments of our WRD students!
To kick-off the weekend, we offer another installment in our profile series, “Meet a WRD Major.” Today, we introduce Jade Grisham! . Major/s & Minors: Double-major in WRD and Media Arts and minoring in Creative Writing. . Expected graduation: May 2021. . Why WRD? Ever since I was young, I loved every bit of writing. I love the entire process of it: brainstorming for an idea, outlining, writing multiple rough drafts, and finalizing the piece. Through WRD, I am able to not only learn more about it as a whole, I am able to immerse myself into it completely and think and write about things I have never thought about before. . Interests/Activities outside of classes: This past summer, I interned at a comedy record label called “On Tour Records” where I learned the strategic craft of comedy and satirical writing. I currently intern at the LEX18 newstation, where working with editors, reporters, producers, and directors. I am also a writer for the Kentucky Kernel and a coordinator for Student Government on campus. I love writing scripts, stand-up comedy bits, watching and studying Saturday Night Live and Quentin Tarantino. . Plans after graduation? I plan to apply for the NBC Page Program, where I could have the opportunity to live in New York or Los Angeles and work for television shows like Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the TODAY show, etc. It is my ultimate dream to work for SNL and to write and direct films/television.
Congratulations to WRD faculty member, Dr. Cagle, on her National Academies of Sciences Partnership Support Grant!

Happy Monday! In the first installment of our “Meet a WRD Major” profile series for the Fall semester, we introduce Miranda Brown. . Miranda is a senior majoring in WRD and minoring in vocal performance. . When asked why she chose WRD as a major: "When it came to selecting a major, I wanted to develop my skills as a writer but I also wanted to be more than effective on paper. I wanted to write but I, also, wanted to develop and apply my talents in the modern age. For me, WRD was an all-encompassing major in which I could develop both my creative and professional talents to prepare me for life outside of the university." . Outside of classes, Miranda stays quite busy: "During my undergraduate career, I have worn many hats at once. As a vocal performance minor, I performed in UK Opera productions, sang the national anthem as a soloist at both UK men and women's basketball games, done several halftime shows with UK choirs, and performed with the University women's choir both on campus and abroad on our European tour. In addition to my vocal lessons and activities, I also was a member of the club swim team and enjoy participating in campus dance classes at the gym often. Complementary to my major, I have worked as a freelance writer, prose editor for the UK Undergraduate Literary Magazine, and am currently the marketing intern at the University Press of Kentucky, the statewide scholarly press. When I'm not involved with campus activities, I love writing prose inspired by my daily life, hiking at locations near Lexington, and taking on weekend projects." . What might the future hold for Miranda? "After graduation, I plan to go into editing or marketing for the literary world wherever I am called. No matter where I end up, I plan to promote literacy by utilizing past rhetorical strategies to create new media to help past and contemporary literature maintain its relevance in the modern age."
Congratulations to WRD faculty member, Dr. Sharon Yam, on the publication of her book! And, thanks to her for sharing insights into her book at this afternoon’s Department of Geography seminar series!
Thanks to @trevornoah for visiting the University of Kentucky this morning, as we celebrate 70 years of integration!
