Bucket List Laura Rose Ecker Kentucky Kernel | 3

welcome to The University of Kentucky Dear Class of 2019, Welcome to the University of Kentucky and the Big Blue Nation! The next four years will be a time of great growth and transformation for you and your fellow classmates. It is my hope that the experiences and opportunities you have here will shape your future, not only as a college graduate, but as an engaged member of society.

The first step to making UK your home is to be an active participant in campus life. With a population of more than 30,000 students, it is vital that you get involved! My involvement at this University has not only shaped my professional life, but has influenced my personal growth more than I had ever thought possible. Student organizations will help your transition with your newfound independence and offer a support system you may not have otherwise found. I promise that by pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, you will be introduced to new ideas, people, and areas of interest that may define your college experience. This experience will be characterized by what you learn inside the classroom, but your growth outside of the classroom will be equally important.

Your time on this campus will truly be what you make of it, so it is my hope that you make a lasting impact and this University makes a lasting impact on you. The next four years of your life will fly by; take advantage of every opportunity because you never know what you will learn about yourself and others. These years are where you will find out who you are and your purpose in life. Sometimes you may fail, but I’ve found that with failure comes the greatest growth.

As your first semester begins, think about the legacy you want to leave on this campus, and make it your mission to do so. I look forward to serving as your student government President and cannot wait to see which one of our promising freshmen will fill my shoes someday.

Go Cats!

Rowan Reid SGA President Rowan.reid@uky.edu

Dear Class of 2019, By the time you read this, I’ll have graduated from the University of Kentucky.

I know. It’s hard for me to believe, too.

Four years of hard work, blood, sweat, tears and lots of Qdoba queso later, I have a degree, a job and thousands of memories I wouldn’t trade for the world.

Life hack for surviving -- and dare I say it, thriving -- at the University of Kentucky: get involved in something.

Do it. Please.

I promise you’ll thank me.

Whatever you’re interested in, UK has a group on campus for you.

There are major-related groups, service organizations, Greek life, campus ministries…

The list could go on and on, and it does!

While classes and homework are extremely important (after all, we’re all working toward various degrees), it’s the extracurricular activities that make the experience worthwhile.

Get out of your comfort zone. Meet new people. Try new things.

Kentucky has a ton of different opportunities for students. Don’t let them pass you by.

Four years from now, I want you all to look back and have a well-rounded experience: good grades, a passion for your field, but also lots of friends and priceless memories.

After all, the latter is what you’ll remember post-graduation (trust me on that one).

We here at the Kernel have spent a year talking to some of the most popular student organizations on campus- what they do, who they are, and how to get involved. Flip through this magazine to read and learn more!

There’s fun stuff, too: bucket lists and profiles galore.

Afterwards, be sure to check out getinvolved.uky.edu/so/findorg to find out even more about the 500+ student organizations on UK’s campus.

Go have the best years of your life! T-minus 3.9 years and counting.

Sam Rogers Editor in Chief, Inside UK

Written by Adrian Swain Photos by Caleb Irvin Service dogs are a common sight to see on the University of Kentucky campus, and they bring light to everyone’s day. If you ever look on the University of Kentucky’s Snapchat story, there quite frequently are videos and photos of service dogs lounging in the class room or even trotting in the snow to class. For some, having a service dog means you get the chance to have a puppy for a semester or for a year. But for Leanna Lewis, it meant something more.

Leanna was born and raised in Kentucky and she graduated in May of 2016 with a major in Theatre. As a child, Leanna’s brother was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. From being a young child to now being an adult, Leanna has worried about what could happen when her brother’s blood sugar gets too low.

Growing up in fear of what could possibly happen to her brother is what drew Leanna to 4 Paws for Ability.

Interested in participating?

Check out: 4pawsforability.org for more information!

When Leanna arrived at the University of Kentucky in the fall of 2012, she learned about 4 Paws for Ability and how a student is able to care for a dog in order to help someone else. Watching her brother struggle, she immediately knew it was the right idea for her. In the fall of 2014, Leanna was able to be a caretaker for her first service dog, and then, she took in her second service dog, Cass, the next year. Cass is a Golden Doodle in the Big Hero 6 liter.

Leanna said that she knew Cass would be a challenge, but that once she met this puppy, she knew they were meant to be. “She 6 | Inside UK 2016

was spunky, smart, and made me develop more patience in a semester than I ever thought possible. When people would ask me about Cass and 4 Paws for Ability, they’d always say something about how they could never do it because it would be too hard to give them back. While it is true that giving them back is not easy, being able to have the opportunity to help give a child a best friend, a reason why parents can sleep easy at night, and the chance to change someone’s life, makes all the hard work and the sadness worth it.”

Leanna loved being able to care for dogs through 4 Paws for Ability and loved Cass’s liter, Big Hero 6. She loved Cass so much that she now has a Golden Doodle of her own that she’s named Ridley!

“She was spunky, smart, and made me develop more patience in a semester than I ever thought possible.�

Want to study visual art and communication in Milan? How about environmental biology in Ireland? The University og Kentucky’s Education Abroad department has many types of abroad programs, including teach abroad, intern abroad, study abroad, service abroad and research abroad. These programs offer more than just taking classes in a different country, and they can last from two weeks to a full semester.

With new programs such as Celtic Blue, a study and intern abroad opportunity in Ireland and Scotland; Bluegrass Down Under, a study, intern and research

abroad program in Australia; and Global Design, a study abroad program in partnership with many art universities around Europe, UK’s Education Abroad is expanding for more programs to bring better variety for students and their interests.

Many students shy away from the idea of going abroad because of money, but education abroad advisor Susan McVey explained that not only do some programs offer scholarships, but the college of your major could also have scholarships for your abroad experience. McVey said that it is best for “students to be proactive and reach out to colleges to make sure that they are seeking all the funding available” because there could be more scholarships offered that the Education Abroad office is not always aware of.

Fundraising, outside scholarships, and researching the scholarships that the program offers can make going abroad seem closer than you think. Take the time to set a goal and budget.

Miko McFarland, the assistant director of Education Abroad, said that the department wants to “push for more freshman students to go abroad. Many students come back and want to go abroad again, but don’t have time because they went their junior or senior year.”

To persuade freshmen to go abroad sooner rather than later, first-year seminar abroad programs are specifically designed for rising sophomores. These seminars are four weeks in the heart of London, and not only allow freshmen to explore London, but also create a fantastic educational environment with classes in Travel Writing and Journalism, Marketing in the UK Environment, and many others. But that doesn’t mean any other student isn’t welcome to go abroad. Everyone should consider going abroad!

10 | Inside UK 2016

E.A. peer ambassador Sarah Rodrigue, a junior majoring in Economics, Business Management, and Spanish, is in charge of helping inform students on any aspect of

education abroad. She recently spent a semester in Spain and a summer in Brazil her freshman year. Her experience was great in Brazil, but “it wasn’t much of a vacation because you’re putting a semester worth of classes into a shorter amount of time.”

Although the academics were hard, she enjoyed being abroad so much that she went abroad to Spain for an entire semester. When it comes to all of her experiences, she “never could’ve taken it from studying in a class here on campus.”

For those interested in Education Abroad, Bradley Hall (the building with all the flags, next to the Chemistry-Physics Building) is the place to go for information. A few tips to getting started, however, include: • Figure out what you’re most comfortable with: being on your own, with other students and a guide, or surrounded by others who are also from UK. • Determine how long you’d like to be abroad (don’t underestimate the power of homesickness).

• Find a program within your field of study.

• Attend a First Steps Information Session (207 Bradley Hall, Monday & Tuesdays at 4 p.m.; Wednesdays & Thursdays at 3 p.m.).

For more information, you can stop by the Education Abroad Resource Center and talk to a peer ambassador in 315 Bradley Hall from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Friday.

DANCE BLUE

A 24-HOUR NO-SITTING NO-SLEEPING MARATHON

E

ach year, the University of Kentucky hosts the largest student-run philanthropy event in the Southeastern Conference: DanceBlue.

By Blair Johnson | Photos by Joel Ropely

DanceBlue is a 24-hour no-sitting, no-sleeping dance marathon that raises money for pediatric oncology patients, as well as their families, who are facing the financial burden of medical bills.

Not to mention, this event is a great way to give back while having fun at UK. DanceBlue first began after the passing of Jarrett Mynear, a young boy who was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer at two years old. His family reached out to the students at the University of Kentucky because they knew this would be the best place to reach a large crowd. Today, the students completely lead and operate the event that donates all of the money raised to the DanceBlue Kentucky Children’s Hospital Pediatric Oncology/Hematology Clinic, as well as the Markey Cancer Center.

Each individual dancer raises money, and they must also raise a certain amount before they are eligible to dance on the floor of Memorial Coliseum.

Once the money is raised is when all of the fun begins!

The dance is a great way to keep the participants going. “It was so much fun teaching the line dance to committee members prior to the marathon and seeing their reaction when I would first perform a dance,” said Kassidy Wolfe, the line dance choreographer of the 2016 marathon. “When I saw over a thousand people doing the dance at the marathon, it was such a surreal feeling! The best part, though, was watching the kids watch the line dance. They would smile and giggle and their eyes would light up so bright, especially on the ‘Frozen’ part!”

Other techniques used in the past to keep everyone awake include special guest appearances from the athletic teams, play time with service puppies, and even a shout-out video from Jennifer Lawrence! Patients from the clinic also come to DanceBlue to share their stories or to get away from the everyday struggle and have fun with students at UK. Christina Barone, a freshman at UK, has been selling clothes she no longer wears to fundraise for the event. “My brother did DanceBlue and he said it was the most life changing experience 14 | Inside UK 2016

he has ever had. I asked him what his best college memory was and he said DanceBlue. That’s when I knew I couldn’t miss out on the experience,” she said.

Christina will be dancing with her sorority, but many students sign up as individual dancers.

They raise the same amount of money and have the same opportunities. Individual dancers have meetings so that they can get to know each other and have people to dance with. They can sign up on the DanceBlue website and donations are placed under the individual dancer’s name.

Michael Regard, a freshman at UK, is excited to be an individual dancer. “This is my first year at UK and DanceBlue is something everyone says you have to do, so I raised the money and cannot wait to dance for a great cause.”

DanceBlue is life changing for the dancers as well as everyone that comes out to support. The dancers can invite their family and friends to cheer them on at any hour, but the 24th hour is the most exciting.

This is the time when the fundraising amount is revealed. The 2015 marathon raised 1.6 million dollars.

The 2016 marathon raised more than ever with a total amount of $1,631,067.49. The event grows bigger each year and students want to continue their commitment for years to come. “Walking away from this event, I perceived life differently than I had before.

I am applying for a position next year to continue my devotion to DanceBlue!” said Cristina Garcia, a sophomore at UK who danced at the 2016 marathon.

Whether you’re an out-of-state student or just used to bearing the weather for the short walk to cars and buses after school, it is common to come to college poorly-equipped for the changing seasons. Here at UK, there are several different items (shoes, especially) you’ll need to survive the volatile Mideast weather. Below is a quick list of some weather fashion basics all freshmen should consider, according to the season they’ll be most useful.

Lexington summers are a force to be reckoned with. When walking across campus from class to class, comfort becomes the most important part of your outfit. Ditch the platform sandals and come prepared for the heated battle with a pair of Chacos or Keds instead. It’s also a great idea to bring sunglasses and baseball caps, in order to protect your face and eyes from the sun rays.

Winter is probably the harshest season to experience here in Kentucky. In preparation, make sure to come equipped with the all the winter gear. A big coat, lined boots (ducks boots, especially), gloves and a winter hat are big necessities. There’s no way to brave the POT (Patterson Office Tower) and Whitehall “wind tunnel” without them.

Scarves, scarves and more scarves. Fall in Lex is beautiful and provides the best weather for dressing cute and comfortable. Layering is key, so make sure to bring sweaters and a light jacket to campus.

There will be unexpected rainy days, too, so a windbreaker is a deal-breaker on certain days. Make sure to get a pair of rain boots, as well; don’t sacrifice your suede!

April showers bring May flowers. Well, usually. Springtime in the Bluegrass is a turbulent combination of the other three seasons. There will be sunny days, stormy days and days that make students wonder if UK will ever see the sun again. An umbrella will be your best friend, and those rain boots will definitely come in handy again. As long as you have something for everything, this season will be no challenge at all.

There’s what you need to be a safe, warm, dry, happy Wildcat on campus.

Welcome to Kentucky! Go Cats!

CSF

Christian Student Fellowship

By Sam Rogers

When freshmen first move to college, they often leave their hometowns in search of a “home away from home.”

Somewhere to hang out, meet friends and most importantly, to belong.

The Christian Student Fellowship, a non-denominational campus ministry at the University of Kentucky, is hopes to be just that for those at UK. From the free “Friday Night Flapjacks” (chocolate chip pancakes served up hot and ready every Friday night) to the dance parties held several times a semester (the Holla-Ween party is always a crowd-favorite), this student organization strives to bring fellowship and faith to everyone on campus.

Brian Marshall, director of the Christian Student Fellowship, says they work really hard to make UK become small, “Even though there are thousands of students who come through CSF events each year, so many students talk about how CSF quickly became the place that felt like their home at college.”

Keith McMunn, an associate staff member, first came to CSF when he was a junior studying accounting.

“I was looking for a place to plug in,” he said. “I came to Synergy [the weekly Thursday night service for all students on campus] first.”

Going on his fourth year as a staff member, Keith is involved in planning Shift, a weekly program held just for freshmen.

“There’s a free dinner and a message,” he said. “That’s the big one [for freshmen].”

He also helps organize $5 Fast, where UK students skip a lunch, donating the $5 they would have spent to another in need right here in the Lexington community.

“We bless someone with lunch,” Keith said.

A student crowd surfs during the Luau Party at CSF.

And, if you’re looking to get involved with a small group, CSF has that, as well.

“We know walking into a room with 500 people is overwhelming,” Keith said.

In Shift groups, freshmen can connect with other students, learn more about Jesus and grow together.

“People usually find their roommates, which is kind of cool,” he said.

CSF is not exclusive to Christians, either. Everyone is invited and welcome.

“We get way more excited about non-Christians,” Keith said. “CSF is the place where hard questions can be asked and answered.”

CSF also has a ton of events for freshmen during K Week, including the annual Luau Party and the World’s Largest Water Balloon Fight! Follow them on Twitter (@UKCSF) to stay up-to-date about all of the details.

“People hear ‘religious’ organization and they think of serious. I want people to think of CSF and think of fun. To think of CSF as the most welcoming, outgoing, loving and laughing community on the UK campus,” Brian said.

“I’m excited that each year I say ‘this is the top, the peak, the best’ and it really is,” Keith said.

If current politics have you doubting your faith in the government system or humanity, in general, let the Student Government Association (SGA) offer a ray of hope

By Madison Rexroat I know what you’re thinking: “I’m a freshman. I don’t need to jump into anything. I’m not even interested in politics.” SGA is anything but.

meaningful.” – Jacob Ewing, Director of Inclusion and Outreach

SGA is more than student government. The Student Government Association represents the student body in academic, financial and procedural affairs to increase student influence at UK.

UKSGA Answers is a program designed to provide a database in which students can ask questions about UK and receive a prompt and thorough answer.

SGA facilitates major programs like Cats Cab, the LiveSafe App, various internship programs and more. SGA also funds club sports, multicultural programs and service programs like the Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion and the Freshman Leadership Development Program.

“Getting involved as a freshman is critical in the student experience,” said Austin Mullen, SGA President, “You build a community within that organization and grow through your involvement.”

You may be wondering, “Why should I get involved with SGA when there are tons of options at UK?” To further illustrate the appeal of SGA, take a few hints from the leaders of SGA, themselves:

If that’s not enough to persuade you, listen to some of the works-in-progress that you definitely want to be part of:

Another program currently underway is Work It Off, which would allow students to bring goods to the Big Blue Pantry as payment for campus parking tickets.

And we can’t forget about arguably the most important development of them all, FALL BREAK! While fall break isn’t set in stone yet, it’s one project that we can all get behind.

For more information about SGA or the positions available, check out the organization’s website at http://uksga.org/. You can also find them on Twitter and Instagram (@uksga), or you can visit their office in Blazer Hall Room 351.

“You’re able to experience so many interesting things about the university that you may not be able to if you’re on campus just to attend class.

You have the ability to positively impact students around you.” – Austin Mullen, SGA President, 2015-2016

“One of the benefits of being in SGA is having the ability to bring change to campus. When someone has a problem, you can actually do something about it.” – Elizabeth Foster, Director of Events “SGA has allowed me to network with some of the best and brightest students and community leaders, and it has strengthened my ability to advocate for myself and others.

Being involved in campus policy and striving to make UK a better university has made my college experience incredibly

So how does one get involved in SGA?

Any student can join SGA. There are three branches of SGA in which you can get involved. The Executive Branch includes the President and Vice President, who are elected by the student body each spring. There are nine Director positions in the Executive Branch, who are appointed based on an application process.

The Legislative Branch, the largest of the three, is comprised of Senators who are elected in the spring. Freshman Senators are elected in October.

The Judicial Branch, nominated by the President, serves to facilitate legal services and review of legislation.

SGA is a place of leadership and innovation. As you settle into your new home at UK, consider this advice from Director of Events, Elizabeth Foster: “More than anything, I would encourage everyone to be involved in at least one thing that will make your experience unique to our campus. Hopefully, SGA is that for you.”
