LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 15, 2021) Incoming students at the University of Kentucky are most likely overwhelmed by all of the new faces they see. During their first week on campus, they meet people in their residence halls, in classrooms and even just walking around campus. While some of these people may not be a part of their Wildcat family today, they probably remember and recognize their fellow students that helped welcome them during their transition to campus.
K Crew leaders play a large role in creating a memorable experience for students as they start their journey at UK during K Week.

It s a very individualized experience, Janderova said of her time at UNG. It s easier to make connections and get where you want to go. The education is fantastic.
