Alumni Association

UK’s commitment to the success of our alumni does not end at graduation. Since its inception in 1889, the UK Alumni Association has been dedicated to serving the University of Kentucky and its many alumni and friends with programs and services to keep you connected to UK and to each other.

Through Alumni Career Services, we provide alumni career counseling, professional development, job search programming, timely webinars, virtual and in-person networking events, online resources for all UK alumni and friends, and more.

On One Day for UK, you can support Alumni Career Services and provide opportunities for alumni to improve their careers with a gift to the Jane I. Morris Endowment. Jane Morris, former treasurer of the UK Alumni Association National Board of Directors, established the endowment through her estate to support Alumni Career Services initiatives. Programs such as Job Club, mock interviews, resume building, strength assessment and career management webinars are supported through the Morris Fund. A group of alumni have committed to matching your gift 1:1 up to $10,000. Consider investing in Alumni Career Services and double your impact. With your gift, we will provide more career services to a greater number of alumni.

We hope you will consider a gift to the UK Alumni Association and help us continue our commitment to serving alumni, the university, and the communities the university serves across the Commonwealth and beyond. Thank you for your support.
