STEMCats, sponsored by HHMI, is designed to help students succeed at UK. The program prepares students both academically and socially through participation in FastTrack or FOCUS, research opportunities, and special seminar courses. Students participating in STEMCats will build confidence, enthusiasm, satisfaction and a sense of belonging to UK, and experience a smoother transition to college coursework. This leads to improved performance and higher academic achievement.
UK professors and staff members are invited to the university's second Teaching and Technology Fair this Thursday, Sept. 1, which will be a bigger and better version of last May’s event, according to organizers.
