Nominate a UKCOP Leader
Hall of Distinguished Alumni and Young Alumni Award nominations are now open!
We created the Hall of Distinguished Alumni to honor and recognize alumni who have made exceptional contributions to the field of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences during their careers. The Hall of Distinguished Alumni is a lifetime achievement award presented each year to deserving members of the pharmacy family.
This year, we’ve added an additional young alumni award to help us celebrate the accomplishments of our recent graduates. The College is now seeking nominations for this year’s class of distinguished and young alumni. All nominations should be no more than two pages, and self-nominations are accepted. Only alumni who have graduated within the past 10 years will be eligible for the young alumni award.
The nomination form can be found at bit.ly/copalumniaward
Please submit your nominations to the College by emailing COPfrontdesk@uky.edu or via mail at the UK College of Pharmacy, Alumni Award, 789 S. Limestone, STE 214N Lexington, KY 40536.
All nominations are due by March 1, 2019.

We wish to remember and honor those who inhabited this Commonwealth before the arrival of the Europeans. Briefly occupying these lands were the Osage, Wyndott tribe, and Miami peoples. The Adena and Hopewell peoples, who are recognized by the naming of the time period in which they resided here, were here more permanently. Some of their mounds remain in the Lexington area, including at UK’s Adena Park.
In more recent years, the Cherokee occupied southeast Kentucky, the Yuchi southwest Kentucky, the Chickasaw extreme western Kentucky and the Shawnee central Kentucky including what is now the city of Lexington. The Shawnee left when colonization pushed through the Appalachian Mountains. Lower Shawnee Town ceremonial grounds are still visible in Greenup County.
We honor the first inhabitants who were here, respect their culture, and acknowledge the presence of their descendants who are here today in all walks of life including fellow pharmacists and healthcare professionals.
