Fellow Wildcats, Welcome to the official Rule Book for the University of Kentucky 2014 Homecoming Week. This year we are capitalizing on the concept of students and alumnae in “Seeing Blue” in everything we do! We all share a common pride for the University of Kentucky and we want to embody that spirit during Homecoming 2014!

As the Director of Traditions for the Student Activities Board, I work alongside multiple student organizations on campus to make Homecoming the best it can possibly be. This year, our events have changed slightly to embody the unique and diverse students here on the University of Kentucky’s campus. We hope you will accept these changes, knowing that they are for the better. This year’s homecoming theme is “The Great CATsby, Roaring Traditions Since 1915”. Be as creative and unique when dispersing this year’s theme throughout the different events during the Homecoming Week.

Homecoming is a time to celebrate the traditions fellow Wildcats have left before us. Come out and support other student organizations and the Homecoming Coalition as we put on Homecoming Week 2014, October 18th-October 26th.

As Always….GO CATS!Zoe PittmanDirector of Traditions UK-Student Activities [email protected]
