Lex Talk History returns with our August installment as LHM executive director Mandy Higgins and WUKY's Alan Lytle recap the museum's first year anniversary at their home at 210 North Broadway and welcome authors Rosie Moosnick and Tori Cruz-Falk. They discuss their book, Campus Candor, the product of more than two years of oral history interviews and writing. Through interviews with students at the University of Kentucky, West Virginia University, the University of Florida, and the University of Mississippi, Moosnick, Cruz-Falk, and their colleagues found commonality between unsuspecting student populations and built empathy with young people seeking understanding across race, gender, and class differences. Rosie and Tori will give a presentation on Campus Candor at the history museum's LexTalks program this Sunday August 25th at 2 p.m.

This week, as a new school year gets under way, Dr. Greg talks with Griffin Nemeth, a student at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy and coordinator for the #iCANendthetrend Youth Advisory Board; a group of 10 high school advocates from across Kentucky, fostering a generation of changemakers dedicated to educating peers, community members and policymakers about the negative health outcomes of vaping and tobacco use. A key element of Nemeth's work is the comprehensive yearlong training program he helps coordinate for younger Kentuckians. Every summer, new members of the Youth Advisory Board gather at UK for an in-person training session, followed by bimonthly virtual meetings throughout the year. This training includes online modules, skill-building opportunities and sessions led by near peers who are part of #iCANendthetrend.
