While working in his home country of Nigeria at the University of Ibadan, it became clear to Olumuyiwa “Moses” Desmennu that pursuing a Ph.D. would be essential for his professional advancement and personal fulfillment.
Last week, he celebrated completion of that goal as he walked across the University of Kentucky commencement stage to accept his Ph.D. in Education Sciences, but his path from Nigeria to Kentucky was a much longer journey.
For nearly a decade, students taking a University of Kentucky sport leadership course have been discovering that a class assignment can be more than a chance to develop new skills. It can also be a way to give back.
