Student Spotlight - Trevor Odell Stephens

Name: Trevor Odell Stephens

Hometown: Horse Cave, Kentucky

Classification: Senior

Major: Political Science

Why Kentucky State? I originally came to Kentucky State to play football. I am the first from my family to attend this University. I also wanted to attend an HBCU.

What is your major and why did you choose this area of study? I chose political science because I’ve always been interested in politics since a young age. I also believe we do not have enough African American representation in this field.

Who inspires you and why? My family inspires me because I realize wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them. It is my ultimate goal to make them happy and also take care of them one day.

What do you plan to do when you graduate? I plan to attend graduate school and work in higher education.

Words to live by: “Progress is always necessary, complacency will get you left behind, being left behind means failure, and failure is not an option!” -Trevor Stephens
