New TEK courses will be offered utilizing the UKC prefix during the Spring 2024 semester and will satisfy UK Core requirements. Courses focus on topics such as climate change, misinformation, creative spaces and well-being. All undergraduate students are encouraged to enroll in the new courses.
New courses created as part of the TEK Faculty Fellows program will engage faculty in team-teaching across disciplinary boundaries with a focus on a critical issue or problem alongside workforce experts and community partners. Revised courses will emphasize the skills that transdisciplinary work requires, including collaboration and communication among stakeholders with different perspectives and lived experiences.
Knowing the value a child life certificate would bring to UK students, a team of faculty in the Department of Family Sciences and the Child Life team at KCH have worked hard for close to a decade to make this opportunity a reality.
