Students Today

The Kentucky Center for Veterans Studies (KCVS) regularly invites individuals with unique perspectives on veterans’ issues to speak to the campus community. Join us for a talk with Jeremy Harrell, a U.S. Army veteran of the Iraq War. After serving as a non-commissioned officer, Harrell studied Business Management and worked in the Supply Chain Logistics industry. He later founded Veteran’s Club Inc. in Louisville, KY. This non-profit has served thousands of transitioning veterans by providing career counseling, therapeutic interventions, job opportunities, and various outreach initiatives for the homeless. Harrell has been featured on national and local news outlets and is considered a subject matter expert on numerous topics impacting the veteran community. Register where it says “More” below.

Did you know that you can learn to Scuba Dive at Eastern Kentucky University? The Department of Recreation and Park Administration is offering a Discover Scuba event to introduce students who may be interested in scuba diving to some of the skills that are taught in REC-110 Confined Water Scuba Diving. After a brief pool side or classroom safety briefing, you and your dive buddies will be fitted for a mask, fins, and a Scuba unit before entering the water with an instructor who will guide you through a few of the basic skills before you start diving! No certification is required to participate in this Discover Scuba event. You must be a student 18 years of age or older to participate. You must also complete the SDI medical questionnaire, and liability release, provided upon arrival. Reach out to Scuba Instructor Ron Murray (ron@kydiver.com) or Aurora with any questions!
