UK Graduation Ceremony Will Honor
Comair Flight 5191 Crash Victim

HERALD LEADER — Amid the mounting excitement and hectic last-minute preparations for her Aug. 26, 2006, wedding, Scarlett Parsley managed to somehow finish assignments for her graduate classes at the University of Kentucky.

She stopped by campus late on the Thursday before her wedding - UK's first week of classes - to drop off homework for her communication disorders class in the masters-level program she had fought so hard to get into. She scrambled to get the work done so she wouldn't fall behind while on her honeymoon at Disneyland.

A professor found her completed assignment slipped underneath the office door the following Monday, the day after Scarlett and her new husband, Jonathan Hooker, were killed in the crash of Comair Flight 5191.

Faculty Feature in Display Case

This month's arrangement in the main display case will be a fun feature about our faculty. Below is a link to a silly little fact-finding survey - this data will be used to create some fun graphs, showing breakdowns between departments as well as any interesting statistics that can be mined out of the data. There's also a place at the bottom to include any interesting hobbies or activities you participate in, if you'd like that share that with everyone.
