I’m Your King and I’m Your Queen
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Oct. 4, 2016) — What's homecoming week without the crowning of a homecoming king and queen? Join Student Activities Board (SAB) today at 7 p.m. at Memorial Hall to recognize a select group of UK students for their achievements and outstanding character.
Royalty Showcase is a great way to meet the students nominated for homecoming court. This event will be put on by both the SAB Traditions Committee and the Homecoming Coalition.
The Homecoming Royalty Showcase is the selective process to reward students at the University of Kentucky that "see blue." in everything they do. It’s also a great way to see students of various backgrounds representing their respective organizations. The students who are nominated for homecoming court will have a chance to show the reason why they should be this year's homecoming king and queen.
“I think it’s so great to have an event like this during homecoming week,” said Jazmine Byrd, director of Traditions. “There are so many wonderful students on this campus who work so hard to exemplify what it means to be a Wildcat and we get to showcase their achievements for the rest of campus to see!”
The UK Homecoming king and queen will be presented during halftime of the homecoming football game against Vanderbilt University on Saturday, Oct. 8.
