The James W. Stuckert Career Center will hold two HireBlue Career Fairs in the Gatton Student Center this week, which will impact parking and traffic on north campus.
In both cases, the student center visitor lot will be reserved for attendees from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Permit holders should also anticipate increased traffic and demand for parking in Cornerstone Garage.
Fairs include:
Spring break starts in a few short weeks! If you plan to fly home – or elsewhere -- over the break, consider using UK Transportation Services’ free regional airport shuttles.
Students, staff, and faculty can ride to and from Kroger Field to Blue Grass Airport (LEX), Louisville International Airport (SDF), and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). This service is offered in partnership with the Student Transportation Council.
Do you cycle to campus, regardless of the weather? UK Transportation Services will celebrate all season cyclists during our upcoming Winter Bike to Campus Day.
Each year, UK Transportation Services recognizes cyclists who brave the winter weather to cycle year-round. This year’s event is set for 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 8. Stop by our tent at Wildcat Alumni Plaza to highlight all-weather cycling as an effective and efficient mode of transportation.
Cold weather doesn’t mean you have to give up on cycling and scooting! But it does mean that you may have to make some modifications that allow you to continue getting around on two wheels.
Below are some tips for your cold weather commute:
While it may initially seem like a good idea to purchase a UK parking permit from a friend or online through a message board, please note that such activity is unauthorized under university regulations.

A 50th anniversary celebration in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will take place 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 17, at the Singletary Center for the Arts. As a result, permit holders should anticipate parking impacts on north campus starting early Tuesday morning.
