Join the UK College of Medicine Office of Community Advancement (OCA), Office of Biomedical Education (OBE), and Office of Medical Education (OME) as we celebrate First Generation Week Nov. 4-8! 

This week will include fun, community-building activities to recognize and support the members of our college who blazed a trail by following careers in medicine and science!  These events will celebrate all first-generation students, including those who are the first in their families to attend college at all, as well as those who are the first in their families to pursue careers in medicine or the biomedical sciences. 

 

Wind Down Wednesday
Wednesday, Nov. 6 | 11:30 A.M - 1:00 P.M. | CTW 127 

Prepare to unwind and relax with UK massage therapists as they offer 3–5-minute massages on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees can also enjoy relaxing music, community-building games, warm appetizers, and visiting therapy dogs for extra comfort.  This is an intentional effort to bring first-generation students from the College of Medicine together, while allowing people to come and go as their schedules permit.
