Others who need lodging can call the Capital Plaza Hotel (502-227-5100) and use the group name “KY-WV LSAMP” when reserving rooms.

Recruitment Tables:Recruitment tables will be scheduled to run congruently with the Scholar poster research presentations. This will allow upwards of 2 hours for recruiters to interact with students, all of which have interest in attending graduate school. There are 10 institutions (including two community colleges) with approximately 300 participants in the alliance. Last year, 94 undergraduate and 43 high school students attended Saturday sessions. Recruiters are also invited to attend all of the Saturday sessions including the keynote address and luncheon and interact with students as well as faculty and staff throughout the day. Departments, organizations, and companies interested in hosting a recruitment table should contact Raúl Torres (raul.torres@uky.edu).
