The University of Kentucky cordially invites you and your family to attend Family Weekend, November 6-8. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to visit campus and get to be part of your student’s UK experience for a weekend! We know you are looking forward to spending time with your son or daughter, so we have put together a flexible schedule of events that allows ample time for your family to take part in the activities that interest you. These events reflect the wide variety of activities and resources that are available to your student throughout the year as well as some special opportunities just for Family Weekend participants.
During Family Weekend, you can do everything from cheering on the Wildcats to working out at the Johnson Student Recreation Center. You can visit numerous campus offices and tour downtown Lexington. You can eat barbecue with hundreds of UK fans before the football game as well as enjoy an intimate Sunday brunch at historic Spindletop Hall. Family Weekend includes something for everyone!
All parents and family members of UK undergraduates are encouraged to register with the Parent Association online to receive the Cat Chat e-mail newsletter. Family Weekend news and updates will be sent via Cat Chat as soon as they become available.
When you are visiting Lexington, we encourage you to stop by the UK Visitor Center located in the Main Building and the Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau to learn more about campus and Lexington. We hope you enjoy your visit!
