STUDENT LIFE 22

letter from the editors Being a Wildcat is an experience unlike any other.

UK’s campus is located in the beautiful bluegrass region surrounded by horse farms and rolling hills.

The fun activities throughout the year are endless.

Whether it’s football season or DanceBlue, life on campus is always thriving. The time from freshman to senior year goes by as fast as a thoroughbred at Keeneland and we do not want to forget these moments.

The photographers here at the Kernel have captured some of our favorites memories from this past year. We’ve compiled the best of the best pictures that illustrate what makes UK... UK. We hope you enjoy!
