UK's #SeeBlue Door of Opportunity |
Throughout last week, a busy bustle stirred around the College
of Agriculture as students, faculty, community leaders, and alumni gathered to
celebrate our annual event, Roundup.
This event is a time for fellowship for those with a passion for the
University of Kentucky and the College of Agriculture.
Reunions are held where memories will be shared and new students will
enter our facilities to see where new memories will be made.
As a senior this year, I have taken a step
back to cherish each moment of this event and to soak up the prestige and
family atmosphere that runs deep throughout the college. Whether it be hanging out with a professor
that was teaching me in a classroom setting earlier that morning, quizzing an
alumni member to find out how campus has changed, spending quality time with my
peers, or eating delicious food, this is
an experience and a place that I am so proud to say that I am a part of. Being able to communicate with so many people
that you may have never met before, but share the same since of pride with,
creates an instant bond and is overall personally rewarding. As students, we are so fortunate to have an
opportunity such as this to network with others in a laid back and fun
atmosphere. I challenge each and every
student within the college to participate in Roundup in the years to come and
to reap the benefits whether small or large.
Overall, I look forward to returning each year as an alumni member to
reminisce and to sing the fight song just as I do now. For others, I hope you get to experience the
same feelings and excitements when it comes to the College of Agriculture that
I do and always continue to SeeBlue. Go CATS!

Even though this year was my last year as a student at RoundUp, I can't wait to come back as an alumni every year to see how things have changed!
