In October 2023, SWAA was excited to celebrate our CoSW community across the country through a variety of in-person and virtual activities in conjunction with UK Homecoming.

Prior to Homecoming Week, alumni were asked to contribute memories and photographs to the CoSW 85th Anniversary Digital Time Capsule, which will be shared during our 100th anniversary.

During Homecoming Week, SWAA participated in several UK Alumni Association (UKAA) events, including the Swag Cab, Block Party, and Classes without Quizzes.

As a virtual component of the college’s Homecoming celebration, SWAA held a Trivia Tournament! After answering the most questions correctly across all three rounds, the student winner of the SWAA Virtual Trivia Tournament was MSW student April Rideout! In a tie for first place, the alumni winners of the SWAA Virtual Trivia Tournament were Julie Martinez (BASW Class of 2007), Julie Schenck-Brown (MSW Class of 1997), and Jessica Byrd (MSW Class of 2013 and DSW Class of 2022)!

All SWAA Virtual Trivia participants received an exclusive discount to the CoSW 85th Anniversary Pop-Up Shop.

Alumni who were able to attend in Lexington joined CoSW for the UKAA Tailgate Tent Party and the homecoming football game against Missouri thanks to complimentary tickets provided by SWAA. Additionally, virtual tailgate guests enjoyed a UK-themed BINGO game during the event.

We had a great time celebrating Homecoming 2023 with our alumni and are already looking forward to Homecoming 2024!


Launched in 2022, the College of Social Work Alumni Association, or SWAA, is comprised of all Wildcats who have successfully completed a degree program in the college. SWAA aims to provide opportunities for alumni engagement, including communication regarding college initiatives, in-person and virtual events, an alumni-student formal mentoring program, annual Hall of Fame inductions, and more!
