Our graduates tell us they are prepared to navigate college and the workplace. That's music to our ears! They're also ready to change the world. They've already changed our lives - it's an honor to know them and dream with them about what is next in theirs.

As someone whose 1st legislative session was in 1992, some advice: it's not fair, transparent, guaranteed to go your way. Take it personally and it WILL crush you. Nothing is EVER dead until Sine Die. Nothing. The process is made to be manipulated. People are good & bad. Breathe.

Is there A thing not broken? Even one? Why the Louisville park system ranks among the worst in the nation

Louisville has 120 parks, but a quarter of them haven't seen a repair in more than two decades, and most of those are in western Louisville.
