Congratulations EKU Thoroughbreds for top ranking presentation awards at the Kentucky Academy of Sciences! EKU Geosciences Student, Andruw Stewart, won this award for his talk, “Nutrient and F***l Microbe Contamination in the Otter Creek Watershed, Madison County, Kentucky.” Great job!

A group of students from Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) were among the highest ranked for presentations given at the Kentucky Academy of Science’s annual meeting in November.

What a beautiful morning to have class outside! Dr. Cab's "Earthquakes & Volcanoes" class (GLY-108) took full advantage of the weather today with a trip to Taylor Fork Ecological Area where they played "strategy scavenger hunt bingo" to study sinkholes. Check out the bingo card to see some of the interesting things students were able to find at Taylor Fork today! If this sounds like a fun way to cross of one of your general education credits, consider registering for GLY-108 in the Fall 2022 semester!
