Meet our featured senior student employee, Chloe Keeling. Chloe has been working in A&S for just over 18 months. She has worked that entire time in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, but recently added work with Dr. Rita Basuray to her resume.

When asked about her most memorable experiences while working in Physics and Astronomy, Chloe said that working during the summer was always fun. The Physics and Astronomy teams have weekly themes and one day a week they would all dress up in themed clothing to take pictures. 

One of the tasks that Chloe was asked to take on was the updating of the Physics and Astronomy bulletin boards right outside their front office. When Chloe came on board, the bulletin boards were...well..shabby. The paper had turned yellow from age and the photos were not current by any stretch. "Getting everything updated and looking shard was fun and challenging," said Chloe.

Chloe graduated from UK on May 9, 2015. She will be attending the University of Tennessee starting this Fall. She will be in a Physics Ph.D. program with a concentration in astrophysics and will also be a graduate teaching assistant. Chloe hopes to be able to teach introductory astronomy labs at UT.

Chloe shared that her student job in A&S has definitely taught her the do's and don't's of working with administration in higher education. She learned to have a greater appreciation for all the hard work the staff puts in to make the University run as smoothly as possible.

We thank Chloe for her hard work for A&S and wish her all the best as she pursues her Ph.D.
