UK Student Center Building Tour (November 2018)

Be on the lookout for separate correspondence regarding registration for the upcoming building tour of the recently opened new UK Student Center.

Excerpt from the Lexington Herald-Leader 4/27/18:

As excited as UK officials are, students are pretty psyched as well. "From what we see it looks fantastic," said SGA President Ben Childress. "It's a beautiful facility that's got everything you can ask for. I'm confident it will be the center of gravity for the student body next year and for years to come."
