Hannah Luttrell, MS
Coordinator for Student Success and Wellness
My name is Hannah Luttrell and I am a two-time University of Kentucky grad. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2016 and my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology in 2020. During my time in graduate school, I was a student worker here at the UK College of Pharmacy!
I currently serve as the Coordinator for Student Success and Wellness. My duties include advising the professional and graduate students of the college as well as implementing different wellness and student success initiatives.
We wish to remember and honor those who inhabited this Commonwealth before the arrival of the Europeans. Briefly occupying these lands were the Osage, Wyndott tribe, and Miami peoples. The Adena and Hopewell peoples, who are recognized by the naming of the time period in which they resided here, were here more permanently. Some of their mounds remain in the Lexington area, including at UK’s Adena Park.
In more recent years, the Cherokee occupied southeast Kentucky, the Yuchi southwest Kentucky, the Chickasaw extreme western Kentucky and the Shawnee central Kentucky including what is now the city of Lexington. The Shawnee left when colonization pushed through the Appalachian Mountains. Lower Shawnee Town ceremonial grounds are still visible in Greenup County.
We honor the first inhabitants who were here, respect their culture, and acknowledge the presence of their descendants who are here today in all walks of life including fellow pharmacists and healthcare professionals.
