Rock the Vote (RTV)
Rock The Vote (RTV) is a national organization that seeks to "build political power for young people," and is coming to UK for the very first time. At its core, RTV is a musical celebration aimed at encouraging political awareness and responsibility among young adults. Throughout this event, SAB hopes to not only entertain students with a FREE concert (artist: TBA), but also to educate and enrich students by providing them with numerous informational resources from student, community, and state groups, as well as the opportunity to register to vote. Craig Mullaney talks about his service to our country so take a note from Craig and do your part to be engaged! Encourage fellow Wildcats to get out there to vote to make a difference and let their voices be heard!

Rock the Vote is sponsored by Student Activities Board. For more information contact Derek Operle at concerts@uksab.org.

Luke Haynes: Quilt Exhibit
Luke Haynes, a widely known Quilting artist from Seattle, uses cloth as a higher art form to investigate nostalgia and function, challenging the status quo of expression. His project themes include America's culture and history, gender bias within culture, use of household textiles, self-portraits, and even "Flightless Birds," depicting one of nature's oxymorons. In creating these new images, Luke's curiosity provides an enriching opportunity for students to be exposed to a unique language of work. Even if you're no artist, it's valuable to see life through different lenses and forms, including through an artist's perspective. Just as Craig explored his curiosity through traveling, Hindu, and extensive reading, so should you! Be sure to stop by the Rasdall Gallery in the Student Center to explore Luke's unique work.

Luke Haynes's quilt exhibit is sponsored by Student Activities Board. For more information contact Sarah Jones at culturalarts@uksab.org or president@uksab.org.

"The Unforgiving Minute: An Evening with Author Craig Mullaney"
Join peers, faculty, and staff for an intimate discussion with Mullaney regarding his widely recognized and awarded book The Unforgiving Minute, the 2012-13 Common Reading Experience book. Learn more about Mullaney as he discusses his educational experiences as a student, a soldier, and a veteran. Mullaney will answer questions posed by a student panel which will be comprised of various student leaders, one of whom will be a student government representative who will field tweets from the audience throughout the event. This event counts as a campus lecture for UK101 students. Seating is open to the campus and community and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. This is a free, non-ticketed event. A book signing with Mullaney will follow in the President's Room.
