UK Alumni Association Clubs Host Student Send-off Parties

LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 18, 2016) — Local clubs of the UK Alumni Association are set to welcome the newest class of Wildcats with their annual Student Send-off parties, beginning today.

Student Send-offs introduce new University of Kentucky students and transfer students to other students in their area, answer any last-minute questions they may have and give them support before they head to UK. The local clubs of the UK Alumni Association host these exciting events that bring together alumni and friends with current, incoming and prospective students and their parents.

Send-off parties give incoming freshmen and transfer students a chance to gather with future classmates, while allowing alumni and friends the opportunity to offer congratulations and well wishes as newcomers get set to enroll at the University of Kentucky.

It’s also a great opportunity for prospective students and their parents to learn more about what UK has to offer.

Party dates and locations are available at www.ukalumni.net/sendoffs.
