UK offers a wide variety of activities for students. You will find campus life more meaningful through participation in scholastic, social, and service activities. We encourage you to participate in activities for which you are eligible or interested.

College of Nursing Ambassador Program
The College of Nursing Ambassador Program provides an opportunity for outstanding students within the College of Nursing to represent the College relative to recruitment and public relations activities. The College of Nursing invites undergraduate, graduate and Good Samaritan Internship Program students who received their baccalaureate degree from UK to apply. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75 is required for invitation consideration. Invitations to apply are sent to students at various times throughout the academic year. The application process consists of completing an ambassador application, two faculty recommendation/evaluation forms, and a College of Nursing ambassador selection procedure schedule. A college committee selects ambassadors at regular intervals, maintaining an ongoing group of 12-14 students.
