In spending nearly 30 years at the University of Kentucky, Sonja Feist-Price has worn many hats. From a faculty member in the College of Education to a member of the provost’s leadership team advocating for students and faculty.

Most recently, Feist-Price has served as UK’s vice president for institutional diversity. Now, she’s preparing to put away (but keep close by) her Wildcat blue to don a different blue, as she leaves UK to become provost at the University of Michigan-Flint.

On this episode of "Behind the Blue," Feist-Price discusses the lessons she’s learned in her time here at UK, her passion for education and mentoring students, and the calling she feels to make a positive difference in Flint.
