What an amazing time! Over the past 10 days we had the honor of hosting our friends from the University of Glasgow, Scotland. While visiting, our friends engaged with several of our community partners, chatted with our students and faculty and were immersed in the full Kentucky experience! Thank you to our student fellows for making this a great success!
