April 21: One Day for UK
On April 21, the College of Communication and Information will again be participating in One Day for UK, a one-day online day of giving. Our supported fund this year will provide assistance to the Kentucky Kernel Fund for Excellence and its associated publications. By making a gift, you are supporting student stipends, travel to cover events off campus, equipment and new digital initiatives. Most importantly, you are supporting students from every major who strive for journalistic success and excellence.

Multiple Kentucky Kernel Alumni have generously offered to match up to $5,000 in support. We are very appreciative of the generosity of our alumni and are excited about what this will mean for our students and the Kentucky Kernel.

Stay tuned for more details about how you can help CI win social media challenges and earn additional funds for our students!
