UofL, UofL Health and Junior Achievement of Kentuckiana held a ribbon cutting to celebrate a new partnership and exhibit at JA Finance Park.
University and community leaders celebrated a new addition to Junior Achievement (JA) Finance Park that will allow the University of Louisville and UofL Health help young people explore health care as a career.
The university and UofL Health joined Junior Achievement of Kentuckiana to enhance students’ understanding of health care, financial literacy and career pathways in the health care industry.
The interactive exhibit at JA Finance Park includes real-life scenarios and will highlight the journey from being a UofL student to becoming a professional in the health care industry, with UofL Health serving as a key employer in the region.
According to Junior Achievement of Kentuckiana, UofL and UofL Health are joining a network of community-minded organizations committed to equipping young people with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in an ever-evolving economy.
“We are excited to work with the University of Louisville and UofL Health to provide students with a unique and inspiring learning experience,” said Jennifer Helgeson, president of Junior Achievement of Kentuckiana.
Erica Walsh is the marketing director for the Office of Communications and Marketing. Her job lets her share UofL’s good news in all avenues of communications including publications, advertising, content marketing and branding. Walsh joined UofL in 2014 after previously serving as the public relations specialist at Indiana University Southeast. Prior to her career in higher education communications she was an award-winning newspaper reporter. Red is one of her favorite colors and it’s a good thing, too, because she earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from Western Kentucky University and her master’s in communication from UofL.
