Josh Osborne

English major Josh Osborne is making an important contribution to the Backside Learning Center at Churchill Downs. The Backside Learning Center is a non-profit that assists equine workers at the racetrack. Josh had been teaching English-as-a-second language courses to kids and families at the Center but that changed when COVID-19 spread. Since then, the Center changed its focus to getting the families that are in need the food, diapers, and encouragement during these difficult times. Congratulations to Josh on the important work he's doing, and on graduating with a major in English and a minor in Spanish!
