This month, Simon shares his summer reading list, including several interesting books for summer beach reading. He also introduces several outstanding faculty and staff members who celebrate great achievements this year, discussing their research, teaching and learning – and a few things they do for fun!
This month, Simon goes behind the scenes at UK's 2019 graduation, and introduces a number of our graduating seniors, who talk about their plans for the future, the amazing jobs they’re starting, and how Gatton has prepared them for the next steps in their careers.
