April 17, 2017 Announcements

UofL’s Ladybirds Dance Team was named national champions in the overall Division IA team performance division last week at the NCA/NDA National Championships in Florida. The team also won the Division IA hip-hop competition, earning the Ladybirds their first double title in school history. In total, UofL’s spirit program won five national titles, the most ever for any school in a single year. 

UofL’s Delaina Amos, Dewey Clayton, Baron Kelly and Sherri Wallace are members of the first faculty cohort of the Council on Postsecondary Education’s Academic Leadership Development Institute (ALDI). The purpose of ALDI is to create a professional learning community of early career, underrepresented minority faculty who are interested in future administrative leadership positions. Campus provosts nominated candidates for the yearlong initiative based on the following criteria: fewer than seven years’ experience in the profession, demonstrated leadership ability, interest in advancement and dedication to their teaching craft.

Eighty percent of farmed beef is raised in pasture for about a year, then fed for three to six months with feed made from corn and soy. To grow just one pound of corn, you need 147 gallons of water, and cattle can gorge about 1,000 pounds or more of feed in that time. That equals about 140,000 bathtubs of water – per ton of animal. By adopting and giving up meat once a week, you can make a big impact on the Earth’s clean water supply
