The UK Alumni Association seeks nominees for the 2024 Founders Day Award to honor an individual who personifies goodwill and demonstrates, through work, service, mission and spirit, a dedication to the Commonwealth of Kentucky and its residents.
The Founders Day Award commemorates the founding of the University of Kentucky on February 22, 1865. The recipient will receive an award medallion and a one-time monetary donation will be made in the recipient’s name to an existing university philanthropic fund of their choice.
Nominations will be collected until December 1. Nomination forms are located on our website. A committee appointed by the executive director of the UK Alumni Association will review nominations to determine a recipient.
