On Saturday, Dec. 17, 2022 Cassi Friday was presented with the UK College of Medicine Department of Physiology's 15th annual Brian J. Hardin Award.

The Hardin Award is dedicated to the memory of Brian, who passed away in 2007. He was a graduate student and technician in the department who made good physiology fun and challenged everyone he met to only bring their best game. The award is granted to an outstanding staff member or student who commemorates these qualities.

The selection committee had nominations from all over the department. Cassi was a standout in the nominations as she has long been known for her hard work, compassion, and cheerful personality.

Congratulations Cassi!
