  • Wildcat Canter
    Wildcat Canter February 2013 As the new Academic Program Coordinator for UK Ag Equine Programs, I see it as my job to ensure that the students in the Equine Science and Management degree program have the best experience possible. When interviewing for the job, I was tasked to prepare a presentation titled “Developing Loyal Alumni.” At a first glance of the topic, I started focusing on what can be done for alumni and how we can keep them involved. After thinking more about the topic, I realized that if we’re going to develop loyal alumni, we have to start with our current students. Providing our current students with a unique, rigorous, yet fun experience is where it all begins. As my new adventure begins here at UK, I plan on focusing on the following areas to ensure that our current and prospective students as well as alumni have the best experience possible: Undergraduate Experience – It is important to me to make sure that each and every student can find that one place and/ or person to make a connection with. This connection can make a difference in your entire experience here at UK. In addition, I hope that each of you will take advantage of the various opportunities sent to you to round out your educational experience. Whether you are part of a team or club, participate in an internship and/or attend several of the networking and educational opportunities offered throughout Lexington, it’s important that you know about and take advantage of these to enhance your experience at UK.
