  • Anyone that is a student at the University of Kentucky is welcome to join! Our members include undergraduate and graduate students, as well as some PhD students of all majors.

Members have the opportunity to sign up for industry tours, which are held every other week in the months of September, October, March, and April. Members can be as involved as they’d like. While we encourage attending meetings and events, we understand that everyone’s schedule is different and they are not mandatory.
