We all know that first impressions are a big deal. Over the past several weeks we have been seeing some new faces around campus during Summer Advising 2012. At these advising sessions, incoming students learn the ins and outs of life at the University of Kentucky.
To ensure their first impressions of life at UK are successful, these sessions introduce incoming students to several key groups at UK — including the UK Alumni Association’s Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow (STAT) group! We’re looking forward to welcoming all of these students in August.
We’re wondering. Whether it was five years ago or 50 years ago, what do you remember about your first impressions of the University of Kentucky?

My dad graduated from UK Law School in 1923 and later moved to Pennsylvania where my sister and I were born.. He moved us “home” in 1945.
Soon after that we traveled from Madisonville to central KY, and proudly toured the campus. While there we visited my cousin who was married and living in the veterans’ village, small white cabin-type buildings.
In later years we would go to football and basketball games when we could. Sometime during our childhood years both my sister’s blood and mine turned BLUE, and we both graduated from our University of Kentucky.
That is a great story. Thank you for sharing it with us. Sounds like you have a true UK Legacy family!
