Student Stories & Features

  • David Dixon

    EKU Instructional Design & Learning Technology Graduate
    At the end of the day, I chose EKU because it helped me become better at what I care about most—teaching, designing meaningful learning experiences, and supporting students in a way that actually makes a difference.

  • Aida Bermudez

    EKU Instructional Design & Learning Technology Student
    In 2020, COVID-19 affected everyone, and I saw how hard it was to teach online. One day, I found the Instructional Design program at EKU. I realized that there are proper ways to conduct training online for people to learn. I saw how all this can be beneficial in how to get information across these days.

  • Rachel Clay

    EKU Communication Studies Student
    I have discovered how to effectively communicate with others in professional settings, interpersonal settings, small groups, and so much more. I have gained skills in conflict management, public speaking, intercultural communication, organizational communication and I am continuing to learn more every day! I am truly grateful to receive my degree in Communication Studies here at EKU!
