There’s nothing like Roundup at the University of Kentucky. When our students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends gather, it’s more than an event—it's a cherished family reunion!

This year, we invite every member of our community to witness the exciting future of the Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. With new leadership and ongoing construction of state-of-the-art facilities, we remain dedicated to our mission of improving the lives of Kentuckians, and we are eager to share our vision with you.

Join us as we rally together to cheer the Wildcats to victory in our football game against Ole Miss!
