Attention UK Freshmen!

If you are a current UK Freshmen, then we have an exciting opportunity for you!  The K Week office is giving one lucky UK freshman the opportunity to address thousands of new students and their families at the New Student Induction Ceremony during K Week 2010 in August. What do you wish you had been told on your first day at UK?  What advice would you give a younger sibling or friend about to start college?  Share the wisdom you have gained during your first year of college with those about to do the same!  This is your chance to share your unique perspective with new students and their families.

 

The Office of New Student and Parent Programs will select one current freshmen, who will be a sophomore next fall, to address the audience at the New Student Induction Ceremony.  The student speaker will deliver a 4 – 6 minute formal speech to new students and their families.  To apply, please submit your application to 518 Patterson Office Tower by Friday, March 12, 2010, at 4 p.m.  For more details on the expectations, qualifications, and selection process, please review the attached application.
