Hello Everyone! My name is Will Bickers and I’m originally from Havelock, North Carolina. However, I now call the beautiful town of Carrollton, KY my home for the past ten years. I’m a proud graduate from the University of Kentucky in May 2010. I received a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and completed three minors in Communication, History, and Geography. Being a very social person by nature I immersed myself in all that UK had to offer. I was involved in several student organizations such as: DanceBlue, Relay for Life, Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity, F.U.S.I.O.N (an acronym standing for: For Unity and Service In Our Neighborhood), among several others. In addition to being highly involved I took on the role of a student worker. During my time as an undergrad I established myself as a UK Tour Guide and a Summer Advising Wildcat Assistant. These positions helped me realize my passion for this amazing “See Blue” community eventually guiding me toward being a UK Recruiter.

My travel territories include the Greater Chicago, Illinois area. I may not be a native Kentuckian but I love this state and University as much as any other member of the BIG BLUE NATION! I am very excited to continue my journey through wildcat country and help you realize the potential here at the University of Kentucky! GO CATS! email: william.bickers@uky.edu
