LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 13, 2021) For Sydney Clark, every day presents challenges. She was born with a genetic condition that resulted in vision loss over time.
By the time she was a teenager, she was almost completely blind.
“Accessibility is always an issue,” Clark said. “I ve never had an experience where accessibility wasn t an issue.
But Clark never allowed her disability to stop her from achieving her goals. And one of those goals was to attend the University of Kentucky.
The transition from high school to college can be challenging for any new student, but when Clark came to UK as a freshman in 2014, the Frankfort, Kentucky, native found herself facing more challenges than she was used to.
