A Trigg County High School graduate is one of 23 University of Kentucky Office of Undergraduate Research students selected to be part of the school’s Undergraduate Research Ambassador program.
Isabella Erickson, who is studying through the University of Kentucky College of Nursing, will actively engage in research and creative scholarship opportunities. The school said ambassadors must demonstrate academic excellence and leadership and be involved in mentored research or creative work.
The student leaders’ goal is to make undergraduate research more accessible. Ambassadors will promote undergraduate research involvement and opportunities through student outreach and program events, such as tabling, information sessions, student workshops, speaking engagements, class, and student organization presentations.
