The University of Kentucky Career Center and The University of Kentucky Alumni Association are proud to offer expanded career services for alumni. Career services are available in person, by phone, or through e-mail. To better serve alumni, a Career Center representative will be available from 9 a.m. until noon on the first and third Saturdays of each month during the spring and fall semesters.
