The Way Podcast, Episode 23 — 'Going International,' with UK alumna Avery Skinner

Last summer, Avery Skinner became the first University of Kentucky volleyball player to play in the Olympic Games — and she also happens to be an alumna of the College of Health Sciences.

A 2021 graduate of the Communications Sciences and Disorders program, Avery first helped UK win a national championship in her senior volleyball season. Then she helped lead the United States to a silver medal in summer 2024. In this interview, we learn about what it’s like to participate in the Olympics, and how a CHS degree can prepare you as a leader on the international athletic stage.

One of our University’s most successful athletes in her sport, as well as one of our most beloved students in her major, Avery is taking on the world, one set at a time. Come with us, as we’re Going International with UK Alumna Avery Skinner … on this episode of The Way Podcast.
