Alumni Career Services Can Help Career Searches

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 27, 2020) — Are you looking to get a jump start on a new career? Alumni Career Services (ACS) can help.

All University of Kentucky Alumni Association members (anyone who completed 12 credit hours or more at UK) can give their career search a boost by attending drop-in hours noon-1 p.m. and 1-2 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at the ACS office at 201 Malabu Dr., Suite 200, Lexington.

There will be two first-come, first-served sessions limited to five individuals per drop-in day, per hour. Counselors will be present to work on resumes, cover letters, interview preparation and other career-related topics. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptops or materials for review.

Members must register for the drop-in session online and can only attend the session they register for online. To register, go to www.ukalumni.net/ACSDropIn. For more information, email ukalumnicareer@uky.edu.

The UK Alumni Association is committed to fostering lifelong engagement among alumni, friends, the association and the university. For more information about the UK Alumni Association, visit www.ukalumni.net or call 800-269-2586.

As the state’s flagship, land-grant institution, the University of Kentucky exists to advance the Commonwealth. We do that by preparing the next generation of leaders — placing students at the heart of everything we do — and transforming the lives of Kentuckians through education, research and creative work, service and health care. We pride ourselves on being a catalyst for breakthroughs and a force for healing, a place where ingenuity unfolds. It's all made possible by our people — visionaries, disruptors and pioneers — who make up 200 academic programs, a $476.5 million research and development enterprise and a world-class medical center, all on one campus.   

In 2022, UK was ranked by Forbes as one of the “Best Employers for New Grads” and named a “Diversity Champion” by INSIGHT into Diversity, a testament to our commitment to advance Kentucky and create a community of belonging for everyone. While our mission looks different in many ways than it did in 1865, the vision of service to our Commonwealth and the world remains the same. We are the University for Kentucky.
