Meet the Student Ombuds at Kentucky State University

In late 2018, Sophia Rucker-Taylor was appointed the Student Ombudsperson for the public, historically black university in Frankfort. Last week, she was profiled for the campus newsletter. Rucker-Taylor is an alumnus of KSU and returned to work there in 2001 after nearly two decades at Texas Instruments. She is a first-generation college graduate and is especially gratified to help students complete their degrees. 


Rucker-Taylor published her first book, Finding Inner Peace in the Presence of God, this past August in time for her birthday. She also enjoys working on vintage automobiles, and looking at blueprints and schematics. (KSU Employee Profile.)
