The mission of the UK Alumni Association is to engage, connect, serve and celebrate alumni and friends of the university.
UK Alumni Association clubs serve a critical role in achieving this mission by bringing together alumni in their local communities to demonstrate their love and support for their alma mater through a variety of events and activities throughout the year. Some of these events include game watch parties, group outings, social and professional networking events, service projects, book awards, scholarship fundraising, student send-offs and more.
The UK Alumni Association recognized many of its clubs at the Alumni Service Awards and Club Awards dinner during the association’s annual Summer Workshop on Friday, June 21, held this year at the Hilton Lexington/Downtown.
Awards were given to in-state and out-of-state alumni clubs in the following six categories — Alumni Engagement, Scholarship, Service, Student Recruitment, New and Creative Program and Most Improved — and determined by the Past Presidents’ Advisory Council.
