Help with K Week

K Week is one of the largest collaborative programs at the University of Kentucky, and it takes a lot of dedicated faculty, staff, student leaders, and community partners to make new student transitions to campus as smooth as possible. We appreciate your help! Below is a list of possible involvement opportunities for our current students and campus partners.
