“I’ve been here for about four years. I went to school at Valley and switched over to PRP - that’s where I graduated from. I’m not from here. I came here from Illinois and just came down here. My mom came down here for rehab after she was released from prison. I was in foster care and all that. Now, I have a baby on the way and I’m doing good. I got a little job and I’m taking care of these dogs and getting ready to have some puppies. I’m trying to live life and stay out of the way from all of this stuff. Yesterday, I heard that someone got shot a couple of blocks from here and I had to hurry up and get home. I heard the shots and I had to get from over there.
Before going into foster care, my brother and I was out here living on our own for a long time. We had a three-story house to ourselves when I was fourteen. One day my mom came and the police came up in there and told us that she had to go to jail. We didn’t know what was going on. They said that she went to jail for some dude that she wasn’t trying to snitch on. She had to go to jail for almost twelve years and I lost everything. I was so mad.
Now, I just stay to myself. I got dogs and I put my life into them. I have like six dogs and I just keep going and I’m waiting on my son to come.
I hope I get a good start and do the right shit for my son. I didn’t have my father. My father’s in prison, so I have to try to do this without having an example.â€- Keavonte, Shawnee

Campus Health Center and COVID-19 vaccine and EVPUP and Executive Vice President and University Provost and Health and Health Sciences Center and HSC and Lori Gonzalez and mask mandate and News and pop-up vaccination sites and vaccination rate 5:49 pm
By Madelin Shelton —Â
U of L recently surpassed its 80 percent vaccination rate goal but has decided to keep certain health precautions in place.
Originally, the 80 percent goal was set to serve as a checkpoint for easing restrictions related to COVID-19, including the mask mandate for public, indoor spaces reimplemented on Aug. 9. The university has changed course and decided to keep the mask mandate in place, citing increased transmission numbers in the Jefferson County area and CDC guidance related to the transmissibility of the virus.
“Additionally, our university’s public health experts tell us higher percentages of vaccination rates across campus should be reached for optimal herd immunity,” said Executive Vice President and University Provost (EVPUP) Lori Stewart Gonzalez.
Gonzalez also said the university will closely monitor the situation and will update us when they have deemed it appropriate to ease COVID-19 restrictions.
Pop-up vaccination sites on campus will continue tomorrow, Sept. 17, in the Bingham Humanities lobby from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for students, faculty and staff to continue getting vaccinated. The pop-up sites will take a pause next week but will continue again starting Sept. 27., although individuals can still get vaccinated at the Health Sciences Center (HSC) Campus Health Center during that time. The locations and times of the university’s pop-up sites can be found here.
