Nominations Open for 2025 Founders Day Award

The UK Alumni Association is accepting nominations for the 2025 Founders Day Award to recognize 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.  Past recipients include notable alumni Mira S. Ball and Tom Hammond.

Nominations will be accepted until December 6, 2024, and can be submitted at www.ukalumni.net/FoundersDayAward. A selection committee appointed by the UK Alumni Association’s executive director will review and choose the recipient.
