The College and Career Studies (CCS) program at the University of Kentucky helped me achieve my dream of going to college.
I am thankful for the opportunity it gave me to attend many interesting classes, learn new things, make new friends, and experience campus life. I will forever be grateful for my time as a CCS student at UK, and will always be proud to call myself an official Wildcat!

Fall 2023 Semester Highlights
5 students are also working toward an undergraduate certificate in Universal Design.
During the semester, practicum students explored their career interests by engaging in campus and community activities.
Community Spotlight is a podcast highlighting different things on campus and in the community. It was started by Callie and Sara, two students in the College and Career Studies program at the University of Kentucky. Students explore campus or community events, resources, or activities each week and then work together to create a podcast episode featuring a chosen Community Spotlight.
