University of Kentucky Information Technology Services has recognized employees who celebrated milestone years of service during the year 2021. These 49 employees, ranging from seven different ITS divisions, combined for a total of 760 years of service at UK. ITS also honored student workers who have worked with ITS for two or more semesters.
Behind the older but spiffed-up University of Kentucky buildings along East Maxwell Street, beneath a canopy, UK students methodically dug two orderly, rectangular and deep holes. In said holes, they find what seems to be the foundation of a former outbuilding, some 1960s pull-tabs from old soda cans, pieces of ceramics and shards of china and glass — treasures from a recent past.
Held at the end of June and the beginning of July, the University of Kentucky's Camp Kiki brought together area teens for five days of esports and education. Led by Kishonna Gray, associated professor of Writing, Rhetoric and Digital Studies, the camp let teens explore such games as League of Legends as well as live-action role-playing games and University of Kentucky online archives that reveal the history of the Lexington community.
