Get Involved

Getting involved & engaged

Involvement is a great way for Wildcats to find their community on campus, but getting involved looks a little bit different for every single person on our campus. For you, getting involved might include opportunities like: joining a student organization, attending an event, participating in community service,  joining a research project, or something totally different! 

There are a ton of opportunities to figure out the right kind of involvement and engagement for you - use the resources and tips on this page to start your involvement journey here at UK!
