Dinner with Kats

In an effort to unite students with alumni, faculty and board members, CHS hosted a networking event that is growing in popularity at universities across the country.
Dinner with Kats offered students the opportunity to sit down for dinner with alumni and professors in the healthcare fields they are interested in pursuing. Designed after similar networking events taking place across the country, the College of Health Sciences took a cue from alumni eager to get involved in college initiatives and coordinated the mixer that gave current students and alumni the chance to sit down at the same table as faculty and board members.
The event took place on the evening of November 8 at the Hilary J. Boone Center, located on the University of Kentucky’s campus. After a welcome from Interim Dean Dr. Sharon Stewart, students, alumni and CHS faculty were seated and invited to participate in an open dialogue about the allied health professions.
Students were given the chance to ask questions about topics such as the workforce, how to overcome academic hardships and how to balance school, work, family and other activities. Tables were arranged to include an inter-professional audience so that students were exposed to a variety of healthcare perspectives.
 
In recent years CHS alumni have expressed a desire to form a deeper connection with the college’s academic programs and current students. Dinner With Kats aimed to provide this opportunity to alumni, faculty and students. The event allowed participants the chance to network outside the classroom and build a foundation for mentorship and collegiate involvement.
