The Scholars Week Alumni Spotlight offers the opportunity to hear about academic experiences, success stories and lessons learned from EKU alumni. The 2021 Alumni Spotlight, co-sponsored by the EKU International Alumni Association, features Dr. Derrick J. Morton, assistant professor of Biological Sciences, Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine. Though biology was his original plan, a bright mind and mentorship from EKU faculty helped Derrick Morton find his path. Named as one of the "100 inspiring black scientists in America" by Cell Press Cross Talk and a "rising star in the biomedical world," by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Morton is committed to his profession and paving the way for underrepresented students in the STEM disciplines.

The Veterans Studies Service to Service Podcast is "the show that helps you understand veterans one story at a time." In this first episode, host Samuel Lewis talks to Roman Baca, a USMC veteran and founder of the Exit 12 Dance Company. Exit 12 incorporates military themes, stories, and movements to explore veterans' experiences and translate them into art for audiences around the world. And for many who take part, the performance itself is therapeutic. You will learn about Roman's service, how it inspired him to start Exit 12, and his ongoing work in the United Kingdom with the Soldiers Arts Academy. New Episodes on the First Monday of Every Month!
