orientation, even before the first semester begins.

Athletic teams and campus organizations offer

instant bonds. All this networking expands

your world in a hurry. Everybody knows it: the

possibilities are unlimited at UC, and you’re

Drink it in. The nearby 1600-plus-acre

Cumberland Falls State Resort Park is nestled

within the 2 million-acre Daniel Boone

National Forest for hiking, biking, white

water rafting, and so much more. The

Cumberland Gap is only an hour away.

And there’s a world beyond to see, too.

Study abroad in Costa Rica or Dublin

and London.

On campus, take in the tailgating, intramural sports,

live music, and festivals. Grab your Starbucks® and

your Chick-fil-A® and kick back in a hammock under

a large shady tree. You’ll stay busy and engaged, but

you’ll learn how to strike the right balance and find

Craft your own adventure. Because

our classes are small, UC professors can

provide support that is not available at larger

universities. They don’t tell you what to think;

they teach you how to analyze, think critically,

and find out what you need to know to go

where you want to go.

Advising mentors help you decide on your major and

course of study. Peer leaders help you adjust to college.

Enjoy free academic support and even specialized

academic support if you are a scholar athlete. A new

career coaching program offers individual guidance in

career decision-making, preparing for internships, and

finding employment after graduation.

Sample the buffet. With more than 40

clubs and organizations who hang around

on the weekends, the UC campus is busy.

Students like to get out of their bubbles and

make friends from different parts of campus.

The UC campus is closely-knit, but still large

enough to meet someone new every day.

Join a club, an honors society, an intramural team, a

house council, or all of the above. Remember that it’s

not just about making friendships; it’s about building

skills in leadership, communication, teamwork,

planning, and more. Find out who you are. Along

the way, find your people. Keep them close at your

side. They’ll be your backbone and support as you

transition to college life and even beyond.

Let your connections work. A student

takes a political science class and is

encouraged to apply for an internship with

a representative in D.C. The internship

changes her career plans. A chemistry

major asks a professor to write a letter of

recommendation for pharmacy school.

She says she would have been disappointed

if he hadn’t asked.

An alum says his undergraduate classes at UC pushed

him to be a better thinker. He also learned to see

things globally, not just from his little corner of the

of it. Let UC make your difference.
