Welcome

As a graduate, you are one of thousands of our alumni. We are confident that you received a superior education and made life-long friends during your days “on the Hill.” Most of you have in one way or another become attached to the University and want to keep in touch with your alma mater and classmates. The Alumni Association provides that opportunity.

Upon graduation, you automatically become a member of the University of Pikeville Alumni Association. As a member, you will receive View from the Hill, the University’s Alumni newsletter, and invitations/updates throughout the year. Please keep the University informed about your current address as well as any newsworthy events in your life. Stay in touch, or even better, continue being a part of the University of Pikeville by participating actively in your Alumni Association.
