Meet Turquoise Brown Patterson 💚💛

From student to staff, Brown’s journey is a testament to the power of education, service and staying connected to your roots.

A first-generation student from Dayton, Ohio, Turquoise is a proud double Kentucky State alumna, earning her Biology degree with a minor in Chemistry in 2003 and returning to KYSU in 2025.

Her journey brought her back home to KYSU, where she now serves as the lead in the Family & Consumer Sciences program. She has also served as an Kentucky State University Cooperative Extension Agent in Franklin and Fayette counties, sharing her passion for educating communities about the Farm-to-Table concept.

Her love for cooking runs deep. Growing up, cooking from scratch was simply the norm and today, that passion continues to inspire the way she serves others.

She came to KYSU as a student. She returned as a leader. And she continues to serve with purpose.

Who You With?! K-STATE!

Kentucky State proudly celebrates 136 years of the Second Morrill Act of 1890, landmark legislation that established 1890 land-grant universities—including KYSU.
