Four UK students, Lodz Pierre, Cherley Fleury, Tehilla Adams, and Olimpia Ferguson; had the opportunity to share some Caribbean culture with students and parents at Meadowthorpe Elementary for a Heritage Night that the school was hosting. Dr. Jacqueline Couti, Assistant Professor of French in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages, Literatures and Cultures as well as the advisor to the Caribbean Student Assocation, choreographed the dance.

Drew Ritzel is just one of hundreds of UK students who have participated in an Alternative Spring Break trip — either a weekend excursion or a weeklong adventure — to volunteer.

Ritzel, a junior biology major from Dayton, Ohio, went on his first ASB trip as a freshman and since that experience, he’s been hooked.

Special Thanks to Casey Smith of Wildcat Student TV for video from the trip to Nicaragua.
