After years in foster care, @ukcosw graduate Raven Whitaker-Smith didn’t just long for a home — she longed to be chosen. When a middle school principal saw beyond her pain and into her potential, he and his wife opened their hearts and home. That one act of love changed everything. Today, Raven is not only a UK graduate — she's a social worker, ready to be for others what she once needed most. Read her story → go.uky.edu/whitakersmith
