Each year EKU's Office of First-Year Courses recognizes high-achieving freshmen at the Outstanding First-Year Student Awards Ceremony. We didn’t want our students’ accomplishments to go unnoticed this year, so the ceremony has been pre-recorded and made available to the campus community. Join President McFaddin, the First-Year Courses staff, and all those watching at home as we celebrate both Outstanding First-Year Student and Outstanding First-Year Leader Award recipients. The virtual ceremony can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/diAOAO81kAs. Thank you all for contributing to an inclusive campus community that allows our students to shine!
