UPIKE welcomes Kay Johnson

Kay Johnson, M.S., is UPIKE’s new Chemistry Laboratory Instructor. She has a powerful motto. “Speak life in everything that you do,” she said is her mantra.
“It bothers me that some teachers speak death to their students. There’s no speaking death here, only life, and that’s what this [chemistry] department is going to be about,” Johnson said.
She said the reason she was drawn to UPIKE was because the school’s Christian ethics were essential to her and the people of Eastern Kentucky took her in as part of one big family.
“I love the people of Eastern Kentucky. They know that you’re family. We have to take care of each other, and we have to make it work. Family pulls it together. I feel like God has put me here, and that I can help people in this area.”“
