One of the most rewarding parts of higher education, for me, was building cross-generational relationships. My favorite class had myself, a couple 20- and 30- year olds, and two 70+ gentlemen enabled by this program.
For 50 years the legislature has waived tuition and fees at public universities and colleges for Kentuckians who have passed their 65th birthdays.
That would end if an education committee chair has his way.

Free tuition for older Kentuckians is in peril • Kentucky Lantern
A 50-year old tuition waiver for Kentuckians 65 and older would end if the Republican chairman of an education committee has his way.

Thanks so much for the shout, Clay! 🧡
Good read from @anabelrose.bsky.social about how six central Kentucky counties partnered up to draft a shared climate action plan. Most Kentuckians understand climate change poses a risk to their homes, families, and futures - this is one way communities empowered themselves to act.
Climate disasters cost billions. What is Central Kentucky's plan?
The Central Kentucky Climate Action Plan combines the efforts of urban and rural municipalities to push for climate action.

Two years ago, I stepped into WUKY Studios for the first time. I was welcomed by Alan, Karyn, and Josh, and hit the ground running with coverage of the 2024 legislative session. Today, I'm thrilled to say I'm officially a full-time part of the WUKY team!
