For the 23rd year, the Office of Residence Life and UK's on-campus residence halls will open their front lobbies this Halloween season to the children and grandchildren of the UK community. Children 12 years and younger only should come dressed in their trick-or-treat costumes. Adult supervision is required. Trick-or-treating will take place rain or shine.

Trick-or-treating will take place on north and central campus this year. On north campus, Jewell, Blazer and Holmes Halls will participate. On central campus, Haggin, Donovan, Johnson, Lewis, Ingels, Baldwin, Smith, Chellgren, Woodland Glen II, III, IV and V will all participate. All halls will have signs on the front doors welcoming trick-or-treaters to the building.

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.
