The 2012-13 academic year was a memorable one for UK student-athletes. For the first time ever, Wildcats on scholarship met Mitch Barnhart’s goal and achieved a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0 for both the fall and spring semesters. For their accomplishments, UK student-athletes received deserved praise.Remaining in the background, however, was another group of hardworking members of the athletic department: Center for Academic and Tutorial Services employees, graduate assistants and tutors. CATS staffers dedicate themselves every day to the academic, personal and social growth of the student-athletes with whom they work and have played an important role in building the culture of UK Athletics beyond the playing field.Last week, that role was put on more prominent display on a new website: CATSacademics.com.In conjunction with Assistant Director of Media Relations Pete Camagna and Assistant Director of Multimedia Cailyn Huston, CATS developed its new website to showcase the extensive support network that UK provides for student-athletes. It features profiles of an award-winning staff and a look at the facilities and services offered. In addition, the site will be updated regularly with news about recent accomplishments by Wildcats and relevant information and deadlines for current and prospective student-athletes and their parents.Click here to visit CATSacademics.com.
