The Breathitt Lectureship was named for an outstanding UK alumnus who showed an exceptional interest in higher education and the humanities, Gov. Edward T. Breathitt. The lectureship is awarded to an undergraduate who has eloquently expressed the qualities of mind and spirit, including one or more of the basic concerns of the humanities. Each year all undergraduate students are invited to apply for the lectureship.

 

Last year's recipient was Philosophy Major Beau Revlett, gave a talk entitled "Rationality and Morality: What Rational Choice Theory and Ethics Can Tell Us About Each Other" (Link Here).
