I could not be more grateful to Heather Cowherd, Ph.D. candidate in Educational Policy Studies and Evaluation (EPE), who nominated me for this great award. I have also been truly amazed by just how seriously the University of Kentucky Alumni Association has taken this awards process. They have put serious effort into making me and my fellow awardees feel appreciated. This video is just one of several examples of that effort. I should note here too that my colleague, Dr. Kayla Johnson, also in EPE, was an award winner this year. It may be the first time two people from the same department won the award. Her video is on YouTube here. Congratulations, Kayla!
