UK Appreciation Day T-Shirt Design Submissions Now Being Accepted
LEXINGTON, KY (March 1, 2021) — It’s that time of year again that the University of Kentucky Staff Senate calls on our creative employees to submit their design for the University of Kentucky’s Appreciation Day T-shirt.
There are several guidelines which must be honored for the design to be considered. No outdated versions of the logo or mascot are allowed, and the logo itself cannot be enclosed within a circle or square. Designs must feature only one color and be suitable for a gray T-shirt (short sleeve).
Finalists will be selected by the Staff Senate Special Events committee and approved by UK Public Relations and Marketing (some minor modifications may be necessary). Three designs will be chosen and voted on by the university community in March.
T-shirt designs must be submitted to the Staff Senate coordinator by Monday, March 15. The winner will receive a prize from the Staff Senate Special Events committee.
Appreciation Day T-shirts for departments will be done again through an online form to be completed between March 5th and May 3rd. Information will be sent out for ordering the first week of March. Be sure to check your emails and other university and UK HealthCare communications. Shirts must be ordered through the online request. There will be no individual shirt pickup day of delivery.
Details on in-person or virtual celebration will come later.
UK Appreciation Day is sponsored by the Office of the President, coordinated by the Staff Senate, and brought to you by the Staff Senate Special Events committee.
For more information, contact the Office of the Staff Senate Program Coordinator Caitlin DiBiasie or UKAD Chair Melissa Barger.

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.
