Email: twre223@g.uky.edu
Phone: 5736140133
Purpose of Org: The Student Bar Association serves as a de facto student government for the law
school. The student body elects the SBA leadership to represent them with the deans, the university
administration, and the larger legal community. Officers also work office hours to provide students with
services and support throughout the school day. In addition, SBA serves as the primary social
organization for the law school. We host a variety of social, athletic, and philanthropic events to boost
student morale and encourage networking with faculty and legal professionals.
Type of Grant: Senate Special Project ($2,500)--Must Have a Sponsoring Senator
Event/Project: SBA Spring Philanthropy Drive
Location: Coldstream Park/Campus Pub/Toasted Barrel
Date: April 12/April 14/April 17
Time: 8:00 am/8:00 pm/6:30 pm
Purpose of Event/Project: RACE JUDICATA
Race Judicata is a 5k targeted at the Lexington and Northern KY legal communities. It raises money and
builds support for UK's Legal Clinic. The clinic provides low-income Kentuckians with pro bono legal help
and trains students from the College of Law in a variety of practice areas.
TRIVIA FOR THE TROOPS
The SBA hosts a trivia night for faculty, staff, and students in which entry fees and additional gifts are
donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
LIBEL SHOW
Libel show is a night of entertainment, end-of-year awards, and professor skits. But more importantly,
it's an auction raising money for grants to students who want to do pro bono summer work in either
advocacy or public service. Faculty donate over-the-top and oddly law-school-specific prizes and the
student body truly goes all out bidding against each other. Last year's libel show raised the most money
in the school's history, and this year we are hoping to raise enough to add new grants specifically for a
student working with impoverished populations abroad and a student working with veterans in need.
Total Cost: $2,100
Org funds used: We will commit what we can. Likely $100/event. However, our Philanthropy Drive funds
are greatly reduced this year due to a bit of inadequate planning last year. Our funding comes
exclusively from new member dues from incoming first year students. Our treasurer last year did not
leave an adequate surplus to cover a lower-than-usual number of first year students joining SBA, which
is what happened.

Contact: Admin Husic

Phone: 2703208286
Purpose of Org: The purpose of the UK ASCE Student Chapter is to provide social, academic and
professional opportunities for engineering students and future engineers by immersing them in an
environment where they feel comfortable asking questions, seeking guidance, making contacts, and
transitioning to their post-college careers. We accomplish this by hosting meetings where professional
engineers come in and speak about their jobs, experience, and special projects. UK ASCE also hosts a
mini-career fair exclusively for civil engineering focused firms to come in and recruit students for
internships, co-ops, and permanent positions. We partner with the ASCE Bluegrass Branch and Kentucky
Section on different events such as engineering forums, volunteering, and Engineers Day. The Kentucky
Section is the professional society of ASCE for practicing engineers. A few ways we try to build
friendships and foster camaraderie within the chapter are through volunteering activities and field trips.
The two primary conferences we attend are the Workshop for Student Chapter Leaders (WSCL) and the
Ohio Valley Student Conference (OVSC). The WSCL is a leadership retreat for officers while OVSC is a
competition open to all of our members.
Type of Grant: Senate Special Project ($2,500)--Must Have a Sponsoring Senator
Event/Project: Ohio Valley Student Conference
Location: Pittsburgh, PA
Date: March 27th - 29th
Time: Three day event
Purpose of Event/Project: The Ohio Valley Student Conference (OVSC) is an annual competition in
which schools from the region get together and compete in events ranging from concrete canoe races,
steel bridge builds, city design and planning, surveying, and innovative wastewater treatment. OVSC
only permits engineering students in participating in events. The conference is hosted at a different
university each year: this year’s conference is being hosted by CMU in Pittsburgh, PA. To prepare for the
Ohio Valley Student Conference is a long and arduous process. Taking the concrete canoe from numbers
and regulations in a rulebook, to a concept 3D drawing, to a mold made out of Styrofoam, and finally to
its final shape takes an enormous amount of time and money. The same can be said about the effort
and resources required to design and construct all the members of a steel bridge. Ordering all of the
supplies necessary to complete these projects goes into the thousands of dollars very quickly. In
previous years we have scraped by on the smallest of budgets and created very low quality canoes and
bridges as a result, this year however we are going full speed ahead and fundraising as much as we can
as well as putting in the effort to have competitive teams for each competition.
Total Cost: 12832
Org funds used: The UK Student chapter has committed $500.00 to the event, however we have been
involved in exhaustive fundraising. The sponsors to our event so far are:

Bracktown Baptist Church and William Wells Brown Community Center. The purpose of these events are
to screen a population of people that are at high risk for diabetes and often do not have time or
resources to see a healthcare provider on a regular basis. By screening within their community, we can
refer those with abnormal readings to a physician or clinic. This past year, we have referred 13 people
from our screening events. We have glucometers that were donated ~5 years ago, however, test strips
for this brand are not cheap, and we need testing solution to ensure that the glucometers we use are
functioning accurately.
Total Cost: 600
Org funds used: All funds for our organization come from our chapter membership dues ($20 per
student per year) and fundraising events. Fundraising events include the Mr. PharmD pageant every

Event/Project: Creativity Study Tour
Location: Cincinnati, OH & Chicago, IL
Date: 2/28 and 4/18-4/20
Time: Both trips are all day events.
Purpose of Event/Project: This semester we have piloted a section of “LA 111: Living on the Right Side
of the Brain” for first generation students. Students in the FGSO and campus wide were recruited for
this section which has 15 students. To enhance the classroom learning about creative thinking Dr. Ryan
Hargrove has planned two creative study tours. This is a tremendous opportunity to meet and share
ideas with some of the most creative people in the US....world! The format behind the visits will be for
each company/person to talk about their creative process, what does creativity mean to them, the value
of creativity in their profession. They will also reference their work in relation to these questions.
The first is a day trip to Cincinnati, OH, meeting with Northlich (Brand Agency), Barefoot Proximity
(consumer strategy), Loren Long (Illustrator), Todd Henry (Motivator), and The Monastery (Musician).
The second is a weekend trip to Chicago, IL. The group will meet with Studio Gang Architects (Builder),
IDEO (Innovators), Kim Knoll (Graphic Designer), Anne and Steve Truppe (Photographers), Terry Guen
Design Associates (Landscape Architects), and Chris Pandel (Chef).
Students will be traveling via a UK motor pool van and staying in a hotel. During the course of this trip,
students will walk a world famous park with its designer, listen to a recording with a music producer,
cook and share a meal with a five star chef, you get the idea!
Statistically, first generation students lack exposure to the fine arts, creative thinkers and cultural
experiences and it is our mission to grant them these opportunities through co-curricular activities.
These funds will allow for students to attend this experience at little to no cost.
Total Cost: CINCINNATI, OH • Transportation - $216 • Food - $500 • Incidentals – $800 • TOTAL - $1,516
CHICAGO, IL • Transportation - $1,100 • Lodging - $1,600 • Food - $1,200 • Incidentals - $900 • TOTAL $4,800 GRAND TOTAL - $6,316
Org funds used: Student will cover the cost of meals. The Office of First Generation Initiatives will
support the cost of incidentals like admission fees, on site transportation fare, and resource materials
($2,116).
Detailed Description of Request: The First Generation Student Organization and Office of First
Generation Initiatives requests $2,500 to offset the cost of transportation and lodging for the Cincinnati
and Chicago creative study tours. With the help of the SSP, the total cost for first generation students
would be drastically reduced and more affordable.

students across the country find out on the same day, at the same time exactly where they will be
spending the next 3-7 years to further their training in residency, no matter what specialty they have
chosen. Universities across the country spend a lot of time and effort to ensure that this event best
represents the college of medicine but more importantly their own home institutions. Over the last
several years with budget cuts of state funding to the college of medicine, financial assistance with the
event has halted. Helping fund this event will help promote and ensure the success of an event that
represents more than 600 college of medicine students and can help recruit potential students to attend
the college of medicine in the future.

Time:
Purpose of Event/Project: Our project is directly related to our program of research that aims to
improve the cybersecurity practices of students, faculty, and staff at UK. We have partnered with the
National Cyber Security Alliance (who works with the Department of Homeland Security) and UK IT to
bring a cybersecurity awareness campaign known as “Stop.Think.Connect.” (STC) to campus (to learn
more about the campaign, visit http://stopthinkconnect.org/). Currently, STC’s campaign includes
messaging that is broad and may no necessarily appeal to college students. We are overcoming this
shortcoming now by hosting a design competition to solicit student-generated messages and we plan to
revise some of the available Stop.Think.Connect campaign materials. We will use these materials in an
on-campus cybersecurity awareness campaign. Therefore, the project contains two phases: (1) Student
design competition and (2) Campaign implementation (which will involve purchasing marketing items,
printing posters, and distributing these across campus).
The first phase is already underway through Residence Life’s Adopt-a-Hall program. As a research team,
we “adopted” Keeneland Hall and the “Living Learning Community” of A&S Wired students where we
are hosting an in-hall competition to see which resident (or team of residents) can create the most
dynamic campaign design in the form of Vine and/or YouTube videos, webpages, poster designs, and
public service announcements. Winning creators will receive prizes, and the materials they create will be
used in the campus-wide campaign.
The second phase (for which we are completing this application) will involve the production of those
winning materials, which will include printing costs, additional graphic design compositions/revisions,
purchasing of additional guerilla marketing materials (e.g., ink pens, t-shirts), and placement of materials
across campus. We will also be revising some of the National Cyber Security Alliance Stop.Think.Connect
materials to make them relevant to UK students. Ultimately, we will use these student-generated
campaign messages and marketing materials to bolster cybersecurity practices of the UK community. In
addition, our research team will be conducting research to evaluate the effectiveness of the campaign
materials.
