E D U Highlights Career Center aims to connect students with future jobs Trey Lewis has hit the ground running since being named director of the Career Development Center in January. Lewis is working to get more students interested in career planning earlier in their college careers, as well as to develop more partnerships with businesses to create employment opportunities for students seeking internships and jobs. "We see alumni playing a critical role in strengthen- ing the workforce develop- ment pipeline for current UofL students as they transition from college to career," Lewis said. "The Career Development Center at UofL is eager for the opportunity to connect with alumni who wish to pay it forward through offering internships and promoting full-time opportunities to current students."

About 800 dancers raised $226,613.12 — almost 200 danc- ers and $100,000 more than the previous year. raiseRED supports the UofL Division of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Stem Cell Transplantation in its efforts to help families and children facing cancer. "raiseRED is a high-energy, exciting and enthralling event, so it has natural appeal to college students," said Taylor Wilson, executive director of raiseRED. "I remember standing with two board members, Courtney Puckett (event management director) and Tra Taylor (event entertainment director), looking around the Student Activities Center in awe of the event that was going on around us, and beaming with pride to be a part of such a phenomenal organization." raiseRED has set an even higher goal for 2016: $300,000.
