Join us in celebrating the rich tradition of the Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival, honoring college-women in Eastern Kentucky since 1931. Each May, representatives from colleges and universities across the commonwealth gather at the stunning Laurel Cove, a natural amphitheater in Pine Mountain State Resort Park. Here, these remarkable women have the opportunity to elegantly curtsey to the governor as they vie for the coveted title of Queen, adorned with a beautiful handmade crown of mountain laurel flowers.

Representing LMU is Nadia, a Barbourville native and rising junior in the LMU Caylor School of Nursing. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing major, she stays active through CrossFit, the Student Nursing Association, community service, and hands on job shadowing across nursing roles. She has earned Deanā€™s List honors for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 and was named the 2024 Barbourville May Day Queen. She will be escorted by LMU student Aidan Blizzard. Good luck!

* Dr. Sandra McGuire Funds Endowment for LMUā€™s ā€œGrowing Up and Growing Olderā€ Book Program *

Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) has established a new endowment to support the Growing Up and Growing Older: Books for Young Readers program, ensuring the initiativeā€™s continuation in perpetuity. The endowment was created through a gift from Dr. Sandra McGuire, professor emeritus at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and former assistant dean and professor in the LMU-Caylor School of Nursing.

The announcement coincides with Older Americans Month in May, a time to recognize the contributions of older adults and promote positive aging across communities.

Founded by McGuire more than four decades ago, the program focuses on identifying and promoting childrenā€™s literature that offers positive, meaningful portrayals of older adults and encourages healthy perspectives on aging. The curated booklist, available through the LMU Library, serves educators, caregivers, families and students interested in fostering intergenerational understanding from an early age.
